The sixteenth match of the IPL 2025 between the Mumbai Indians and the Lucknow Super Giants is due to take place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on April 4 at 7:30 PM IST, setting the stage for an exciting contest.
The Super Giants will enter the match having lost their last meeting. The Punjab Kings defeated the Rishabh Pant-led team at home in a lackluster match, giving them their second victory of the year. LSG will try to record their second victory of the season when they play the Mumbai team, the five-time winners.
In contrast, the Mumbai Indians started the season with consecutive defeats, but they turned things around with a decisive victory over the reigning champions, the Kolkata Knight Riders. The team captained by Hardik Pandya is presently in fifth place in the standings and will be looking to continue their winning ways.

Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
The full red soil surface of the Ekana Stadium pitch is renowned for its bounce and speed. Its long boundaries provide the bowlers some reprieve, even though it's a high-scoring venue. The grass covering the pitch is uniform, which guarantees little movement of the seams while giving the spinners enough bounce and turn. The surface has historically been sluggish, which makes it difficult for batters because it is difficult to get onto the bat. Here, spinners flourish, making use of the turn and grip, while pacers with different styles might be useful.
Weather Report:
Dew won't likely be a big part of it. In order to limit the opposition to a low score, the team that wins the toss will try to bowl first.
