In a vital IPL match, Lucknow Super Giants defeated Mumbai Indians by five runs to go one step closer to the playoffs. Marcus Stoinis, who was given the opportunity to bat first, slammed an explosive 89 off 47 balls to lead Lucknow Super Giants to a difficult 177 for 3.

LSG had earlier been reduced to 35 for 3 in 6.1 overs, but Stoinis and Krunal Pandya (49) raised the side to 117 for 3 with an 82-run fourth wicket stand.
