IPL 2025: Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians – Match Preview

Lucknow Super Giants will lock horns against Mumbai Indians in the 16th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Friday. Both of these teams have managed a solitary win in their three respective matches of the tournament.

LSG bowling coach Zaheer Khan had shared his displeasure after the Lucknow pitch supported PBKS bowlers, following their eight-wicket loss. However, the curator would want to produce a pitch, which will assist the home team.

LSG could only manage 171 runs in the last game and thus their batting unit would want to come up with an improved show. So far, Nicholas Pooran has been the lone warrior and LSG would want more from their captain, Rishabh Pant, who has returned with scores of 0, 15, and 2 in the first three games.

LSG would also need to look at their playing combination as they have been playing with four overseas batters and they must include Shamar Joseph to add more teeth to their fast bowling battery.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians registered their maiden win of the season after beating Kolkata Knight Riders comprehensively by eight wickets. MI came up with a brilliant bowling show, skittling out the opposition on 116 after Ashwani Kumar (4-24) made a dream debut.

LSG have a solid head-to-head record against MI as they have won five out of their six matches against them.

LSG Probable XII: Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Digvesh Rathi, Prince Yadav

MI Probable XII: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Vignesh Puthur and Satyanarayana Raju.
