The victory is Lucknow's fifth win of the season and has helped them move to fourth in the IPL points table, with 10 points.
Gujarat Titans lead with 12 points followed by Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants, and Royal Challengers Bangalore -- in that order -- all with 10 points.
Mumbai continue to occupy the bottom spot in the IPL points table with no points from their eight outings so far.
