Lucknow Beats Mumbai by 12 Runs in IPL

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) triumphed over Mumbai Indians (MI) with a 12-run victory in an IPL match, despite a stellar performance by Hardik Pandya, who took five wickets for 36 runs. Batting first, LSG set a formidable target of 203/7, led by Mitchell Marsh's aggressive 60 and Aiden Markram's composed 53. In response, MI's chase was hampered by early setbacks and clever bowling by LSG, particularly from Shardul Thakur and Avesh Khan in the final overs. Suryakumar Yadav's 67 off 43 balls kept MI in contention, but they ultimately fell short, finishing at 191/5. The victory was LSG's sixth win over MI in seven encounters, moving them to sixth place in the points table. Meanwhile, MI remains in seventh place with just one win in four matches.
