Match Preview
As two of IPL’s two newest franchises square off for their fourth meeting of the season, fans should anticipate an explosive contest. Both sides boast strong blends of experience and youthful energy which has enabled them to build up an identity through tactical battles and individual performances that keep fans guessing every time these teams face each other. Their rivalry has become one of the most compelling in league, keeping fans on their toes every time these two meet!
MI have overcome a slow start to their season and now sit on a four-game winning streak, looking forward to taking on LSG at Wankhede Stadium and hoping to maintain momentum.
Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah all looking in fine form for MI, along with Jasprit Bumrah taking wickets with regularity, appears poised to continue their assault on the league table. LSG are yet to find their stride this season and have struggled to string together consistent performances despite Aiden Markram being one of their stars; instead starting well but failing to convert starts into substantial totals has impeded them greatly.
LSG have won three of their last four matches and are on an encouraging run through the competition, but need to improve on their performances to remain viable for playoff contention. Their batting has been inconsistent so far with Rishabh Pant wasting away valuable runs while Nicholas Pooran seems uncertain of himself as they struggle for runs themselves. They possess an extensive bench but should focus more heavily on getting key players firing so as to increase their odds of making it to the play-offs.
Wankhede Stadium should provide ideal batting conditions, with both teams boasting talented batsmen. As such, both sides are expected to elect to field first. With temperatures expected to increase significantly during a day game such as this one, Mumbai Indians may opt to bowl first instead; their decision will depend on whether they want to protect their top-two positions by bowling first or chase for a target; Ryan Rickelton (wk), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav Tilak Varma Naman Dhir Will Jacks; Hardik Pandya (c), Mitchell Santner Deepak Chahar Trent Boult Jasprit Bumrah are all likely options.
Predictions
Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) remain within striking distance in the race for playoff berths, both with five wins out of nine games vs one win respectively this season and still looking for their sixth victory to return them into playoff contention for top four finishes.
MI will hope the momentum they built from their victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad last weekend carries forward when they take on LSG at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Rohit Sharma should return to form, Trent Boult may finally deliver at the death and Jasprit Bumrah is likely at full strength.
LSG have struggled to score with their bat and their bowling has been inconsistent, forcing them to improve their batting performance in order to compete with the big guns of this competition.
Wankhede Stadium’s pitch is well-renowned as being conducive to batting in limited-overs cricket, especially limited-overs formats like T20. The surface offers good bounce and carry for batsmen to score runs more efficiently while having relatively short boundaries makes chasers reach targets faster. Furthermore, its proximity to Marine Drive and Arabian Sea means there is usually some breeze blowing through which aids swing for new ball bowlers during powerplays.
On Sunday, Ryan Rickelton, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Rohit Sharma, Karn Sharma, Will Jacks, Deepak Chahar Mitchell Santner Reece Topley Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah are expected to feature for MI. Now that Mayank Yadav has returned from injury the only question remains regarding where he fits into their winning combination and where Mayank Yadav will fit into their side.

Mumbai Indians take on Lucknow Super Giants at Wankhede Stadium this Sunday as the race for playoff spots heats up in IPL 2025. Both sides are currently tied at four on the points table and this match promises to be an engaging battle between MI’s powerful batting attack and LSG’s impressive bowling attack.
MI’s batting unit has found their stride, with their bowlers finding form just in time for the latter stages of the tournament. Suryakumar Yadav’s all-round performance, Hardik Pandya’s death bowling and Jasprit Bumrah’s death bowling helping MI to recover after an initial slow start.
LSG’s batting has struggled to overcome their slump over the last several games. Their last match saw them go down by eight wickets against Delhi Capitals at home; yet Nicholas Pooran’s impressive 82 off 34 balls and Mitchell Marsh’s robust contribution have given LSG hope of coming out of their slump.
Ekana Stadium will offer big-hitting batsmen an ideal environment to thrive on, making this venue suitable for opening batsmen like Rohit Sharma (177 off 107 balls against RCB at this venue).
Each team has faced off eight times during IPL history, with LSG winning six and MI two. As their matches become increasingly intense and heated, this rivalry between LSG and MI has quickly become one of the most compelling in the competition.
