Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have had a mixed start to IPL 2025, currently sitting at 6th place on the points table with one win and two losses. Their most recent match ended in disappointment as they lost to Punjab Kings (PBKS) by eight wickets. Despite a competitive total of 171/7, thanks to Nicholas Pooran’s 44 (30) and Ayush Badoni’s 41 (33), LSG’s bowling attack couldn’t stop PBKS’s aggressive chase. Prabhsimran Singh’s 69 (34) led PBKS to a comfortable win in just 16.2 overs.
As LSG looks to bounce back, they now face a crucial encounter against Mumbai Indians (MI), a team they have historically dominated. Having won five of their six encounters against MI, LSG will be confident heading into this clash. However, MI, desperate to improve their record, will aim to break their losing streak against LSG. The match will be held at Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground, Lucknow, where LSG will have the advantage of home conditions.
LSG will count on Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, and Mitchell Marsh to deliver with the bat, while Rishabh Pant’s captaincy and finishing abilities will be crucial. In the bowling department, Ravi Bishnoi and Avesh Khan will play key roles in restricting MI’s power hitters.
For MI, breaking their losing streak against LSG will require a disciplined bowling attack and strong batting performance. With both teams eager to improve their standings, this match promises to be a high-voltage battle.
