Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians Team Previews

Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow Super Giants has a strong batting line up but their bowling is the most disappointing part for them this season. Lucknow have powerful openers in Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram. Marsh is in good form while Markram was showing signs of form in the last match. Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant and Ayush Badoni handle the middle order for Lucknow Super Giants. While Pooran is the best with orange cap, captain Rishabh Pant is the most disappointing batter out of three. 

Pant has not crossed 15 run mark in his last three innings which is a sign of concern for the most expensive pick of IPL 2025. Lucknow lost their last match shamefully at the home venue against Punjab Kings. Their batting collapsed for the first time this season which resulted in a loss. They have to rectify things as soon as possible to stay alive in the world’s toughest league in cricket.

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians always have a strong squad and this season is no different with the likes of Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah. These four have led the Indian cricket team in different formats, showing the quality of squad Mumbai Indians have. Beside this, they have world class bowler Trent Boult clubbed with Indian pacer Deepak Chahar and Ashwini Kumar, who took four wickets on his debut against KKR in the last match. 

Mumbai have Tilak Verma and Will Jacks in the middle order to handle the pressure while Ryan Rickelton takes care of the thing at top. In three games, Mumbai Indians have won just one game against Kolkata in Wankhede stadium on 31st March 2025. Debutant Ashwini Kumar picked up four wickets while Deepak Chahar picked up two to stop KKR at just 116 runs. Mumbai chased down the total in just 12.5 overs to win the match.

LSG vs MI Match Prediction Key Performers

Top Batter: Nicholas Pooran

Nicholas Pooran is in mind blowing form having scored 189 runs in just three games with an average of 63 runs per match. He is still to score a hundred in the league but his strike-rate is more important than his hundred for the team. He scores runs at an strike-rate of 219.76, giving no real opportunity to the opponent team. He is a number three batter but he scores runs as if he is a lower order batter. He is a must have player in this match. 

Top Bowler: Ravi Bishnoi

Ravi Bishnoi is not in a good form in this season and is giving runs with an economy 12.54 runs per overs. However this match can be a game changer for him against Mumbai Indians. Rohit Sharma has scored 46 runs from 37 balls against Ravi Bishnoi and got out 3 times. While Suryakumar Yadav has scored 39 runs from 32 balls against Ravi Bishnoi and got out 3 times. He is a must have player in this match looking at his records.

LSG vs MI Today Match Prediction

In this exciting match, Mumbai Indians are expected to win the match at Ekana Stadium Lucknow. The pitch at Lucknow has helped the fast bowlers and Mumbai have a better fast bowling attack who can restrict the hard hitters  of Lucknow Super Giants. Mumbai is expected to rule the powerplay battle against Marsh and Markram who have problems with the moving ball and then Pooran can do well alongside Rishabh Pant who has to score runs in this match for his redemption. However Mumbai will win this match in any scenario due to a better all-round squad strength.
