Mumbai Indians (MI) have now opened their account in the ongoing IPL 2025 season as they defeated the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), by eight wickets in Mumbai. With this win, they are now in sixth position in the table with two points and a net run rate of +0.309.
However, Rohit Sharma has struggled badly so far with the bat and fans will be hopeful to see him back in from the next game onwards. Now, MI will look to continue this momentum, but for that, a tough challenge awaits them as Hardik Pandya and his men are set to face Lucknow Super Giants on April 4 in Lucknow.
Opponent and match details
LSG have won one and lost one in their first two matches. Currently, with two points and a net run rate of +0.963, they are in third spot. Against Delhi Capitals (DC), despite having a grip on the match, LSG lost courtesy of a great knock by Ashutosh Sharma.
While against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), they put in a clinical performance by defeating them by five wickets. Hence, in front of the home crowd in Lucknow, LSG will look to register another win by thumping MI.

Head-to-Head record
In six IPL matches, LSG have dominated the five-time champions MI, defeating them five times compared to losing only once. The only loss came in the IPL 2023 eliminator in Chennai. Even in Lucknow, in two matches so far, LSG have defeated MI both times, which highlights the struggles MI have faced in recent times while facing LSG.
Hence, LSG fans will hope to see their team continue this domination, while MI fans will hope to maintain their winning momentum, as a third loss in their fourth game might hurt them going forward in the race for the playoffs.
