The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lock horns with the Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2025, Match 16 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, on April 4th. LSG, led by Rishabh Pant, will look forward to their good record against MI and gain momentum from it, having won five out of six past encounters. Last time the two teams met was in May 2024. An explosive innings of Nicholas Pooran of 75 runs from 29 balls was enough for them to secure a 18-run win.

The hosts will find it relatively easy to emerge victorious if they do the right things and give LSG a lot of trouble. This match would be a great entertainment for the fans as both teams are packed with cricketers who could single-handedly win the game.

On the other hand, MI, being a strong team, will bounce back from their diminutive performance against LSG in the Eliminator 2023 match, which they won by 81 runs. The boys in blue and yellow can still assert themselves as the greatest if they deliver with the ball although they will be required to produce a big-effort performance to limit the heavy LSG batting side.
