LSG faced setbacks in their recent matches against SRH and DC, where they missed opportunities for victory, resulting in a substantial loss against SRH and no improvement against DC. The upcoming match against MI will be a test of their determination, as they need a convincing win and hope for SRH's losses to stay in contention for playoffs. Thus, LSG's players must perform at their peak against the five-time champions.

Conversely, MI has no pressure as they are already out of the tournament and can focus on thwarting LSG's aspirations. In their previous match, MI lost to KKR in a rain-interrupted game. Both teams boast top-tier players, with LSG featuring names like KL Rahul, Quinton De Kock, Nicholas Pooran, and Marcus Stoinis, while MI counts on Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah.
