MI vs LSG: Match Preview
Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants have both won 5 of their 9 matches this season, placing them on equal points in the IPL 2025 points table.
However, Mumbai Indians hold a slight edge over LSG due to their superior Net Run Rate (NRR). MI had a rocky start to their campaign, winning just 1 of their first 5 games. Since then, they’ve staged a strong comeback, winning 4 matches in a row.
Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants have had an inconsistent run, alternating between wins and losses throughout the season. Compared to MI, LSG’s victories have not been as convincing.
In their previous encounter at the Ekana Stadium, it was a high-scoring game where LSG defeated MI by 12 runs. Since then, Mumbai Indians have seemingly found their best playing XI, especially with the return of Jasprit Bumrah. Adding to their strength, Rohit Sharma has returned to form with back-to-back unbeaten half-centuries. Trent Boult has also been impressive, delivering a fantastic spell in their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
As for Lucknow Super Giants, captain Rishabh Pant is enduring a tough season with the bat. It's been a challenging outing for the most expensive player of the IPL, with his captaincy decisions also coming under scrutiny at times. Some of his on-field choices have left fans and analysts wondering what’s running through his mind.
The positives for LSG have been their openers, though Nicholas Pooran, despite holding the Orange Cap, has had a dip in form over the last few games. In the bowling department, while they remain aggressive, Shardul Thakur has been expensive, and Ravi Bishnoi hasn't been among the wickets—a concerning sign for the team. However, Mayank Yadav is expected to return to the playing XI in this match, replacing Prince Yadav.
LSG will be hoping to reset and come back stronger after their extended break, aiming to extend their winning record over MI.
Stay tuned for the innings highlights of what promises to be a thrilling encounter at the Wankhede Stadium!
