Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians (LSG vs MI) has been scheduled for the 16th game of the IPL 2025, which Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium (Lucknow) will host on Friday evening (April 4). Both teams are ready for their fourth match of the season after each recording one win and two losses. 

IPL 2025: LSG and MI have to prove a lot

After suffering a stunning one-wicket defeat against Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants defeated SunRisers Hyderabad by five wickets but faced a big eight-wicket defeat against Punjab Kings. 

On the other hand, the five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians started the season with a four-wicket and 36-run defeat against Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. But, they started their home season with a dominating eight-wicket victory against the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders.

IPL 2025, Match 16: LSG vs MI - Can we see any special inclusion?

LSG's batting is a big headache for them. Among the big names, only Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran have shone, while the most expensive player in the IPL auction history, Rishabh Pant, has disappointed. Ayush Badoni impressed in the last game (41) after two single-digit scores. Except for experienced Shardul Thakur, LSG bowling is yet to impress, while Akash Deep is likely to be available for the match against Mumbai Indians. 

Mumbai Indians' top-order batters need to provide stronger starts. While MI bowlers outclassed KKR batters in the last game, Ashwani Kumar stunningly made his IPL debut with a four-wicket haul, including a wicket on his first IPL delivery. The five-time IPL champions still have to prove themselves. After a dominating win against KKR, MI are unlikely to make any immediate change in the playing XI. 

IPL 2025, Match 16: LSG vs MI Playing 11s (Probable)

Lucknow Super Giants Predicted Playing XI: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (Captain), Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Akash Deep

Mumbai Indians Predicted Playing XI: Rohit Sharma/Vignesh Puthur (Impact Players), Ryan Rickelton, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Will Jacks/Bevon Jacobs, Hardik Pandya (Captain), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Ashwani Kumar

Punjab Kings played good cricket and won two wins in a row in IPL 2025, beating Lucknow Super Giants by eight wickets at Ekana Stadium on Tuesday. This is the fourth time PBKS have started an IPL season with back-to-back victories. The win pushed them to second place in the points table after their earlier win against Gujarat Titans.

After the match, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka had a long chat with PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer, who played a match-winning knock, and Rishabh Pant, who had another tough day.

This game also saw a contest between two of the league’s most expensive players. LSG bought Rishab Pant for ₹27 crore, just ₹25 lakh more than Iyer, but he couldn’t make an impact. He managed only two runs off five balls, taking his total to just 17 runs from 26 balls in three matches so far.

Goenka was later seen having a serious conversation with Pant, similar to their chat after Lucknow’s earlier loss to Delhi Capitals. He appeared to be pointing his finger at Pant multiple times during the exchange. With this defeat, LSG has now lost two of their first three matches. They will hope to bounce back when they take on Mumbai Indians at home on Friday.

Speaking after the match, Pant admitted that LSG didn’t put up a big enough total. “We were 20-25 runs short, but that’s part of the game. We’re still figuring out the conditions at our home ground. Losing early wickets made things difficult, but everyone is giving their best. We planned for a slow wicket, and the slower balls were stopping a bit. We have to learn from this and move forward. There are a lot of positives, so I don’t want to say too much,” he said.

Former Indian pacer Zaheer Khan has raised concerns about the pitch at Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium stating that it did not support the domiciliary side, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). “In the IPL, you've seen how teams have looked at taking a little bit of home advantage. So from that point of view, you've seen that the curator is not really thinking that it’s a home game. I think maybe it looked like it was a Punjab curator out here,” said Zaheer.

His statement suggests that ground LSG was playing at was more beneficial to the visiting side. Indian Premier League (IPL) is heavily dependent on home games because most franchisees construct the pitches at their will.

However, The Lucknow track has been under the microscope for some time and was even referred to by LSG captain KL Rahul as the subject of his worries. Zaheer’s mention of a “Punjab curator” has fueled speculation about pitch preparation. The audience and reporters have responded differently- some are siding with him while rest are saying neutral surfaces guarantee fair play.

If LSG continues to struggle at home pitch, these arguments will go on forever. The franchise needs to liaise with the ground staff if they want to ensure the pitch warrants their playing style.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) latest recruit, Digvesh Rathi, brought some excitement to the IPL 2025 clash against Punjab Kings with a fiery send-off for young Priyansh Arya. Making his debut in the tournament, the mystery spinner dismissed the Punjab opener. It marked the moment with the iconic notebook celebration at the Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium in Lucknow.

Introduced into the attack as early as the third over, the 25-year-old spinner secured Lucknow's first breakthrough. Facing his Delhi state teammate, Priyansh Arya, Digvesh was initially struck for a boundary on the first delivery of his over. However, when Priyansh attempted another aggressive shot, Digvesh outsmarted him with a quicker delivery. The mistimed stroke resulted in a top edge, which was comfortably taken by Shardul Thakur at mid-off.

The young leg spinner was ecstatic after taking the crucial wicket, raced up to Priyansh, and performed the notebook celebration, which is a symbolic act in which a bowler writes a batter's name in his "book of wickets." However, Priyansh remained silent, as if he could sense his Delhi teammate's feelings. An on-field umpire swiftly stepped in, running to Digvesh and instructing him not to interact with opposing hitters despite the playful moment.

This famous viral notebook celebration

'Notebook celebration' was a characteristic action of West Indies fast bowler, Kesrick Williams. One of the most famous celebrations in contemporary cricket, Williams frequently utilized this gesture to mock opposing batters.

 But during the 2019 India-West Indies series, Virat Kohli handed Williams a taste of his own medicine. The legendary India batter imitated the notebook celebration after smashing a boundary off Williams.

Lucknow Super Giants are playing their third game against Punjab Kings where Punjab Kings won the toss and chose to field first. LSG didn't have a good defensive start as Makram and Mitchell Marsh departed earlier. Pooran held the innings but he too had departed and when these batsmen were LSG were dragged down under the knees and the rest of the batsmen were disappointed. In these three games one thing was common for LSG if they lose Pooran and Marsh early it means you can restrict them to below par score. 

It was the same fashion until Mitchell Marsh and Pooran were playing their first match in IPL the hope of 200 plus was on but when they departed the whole team just lost its way. In this very match too same thing happened, Now the question arises Is Captain Rishab Pant really playing the game. It's the third game for him and the performance from him still has to come, which is hurting Lucknow a lot.

After Recovering From Major Accident

Rishabh Pant had faced a serious car accident around his native, though he recovered fast as it was a major accident and he had injuries in his leg which would have been a career-ending for him, but he fought hard and came back to the Indian squad and played the T20 world cup for India and gave India the glory of winning the World Cup after 17 years. But after that the dent started to begin, you might be asking if he has done well and how a dent comes over there. 
We have the answer for you after the T20 World Cup he was completely sidelined and KL Rahul was preferred as the keeper role. It was auction time and Delhi tried to retain Rishabh Pant for 18 crore but  Rishabh thought he was valued for more and pulled himself in the auction. When his name arrived there was a bid of war between Lucknow and Delhi the bid crossed over 20 crores. Delhi Capitals used their RTM but Lucknow straight away agreed to give 27 crores for Rishabh Pant and was sold to Lucknow Super Giants. 

Rishabh Pant's Poor Performance

Rishabh Pant scored 0 against Delhi Capitala which was their season opener, In his second match against SRH he was out for 15 and now in this match, he is out for 2 runs and he is under the road of criticism How can such a player got 27 crores. There were talks all around the internet where memes on him were posted.

Even experts like Piyush Chawla, Ambati Rayudu and Mathew Hayden criticised the left-hander that what is Rishabh Pant trying to do he wants to hit big shots from ball one which is not at all possible and the type of batting he does it is difficult to crunch back. Lucknow at this stage lost their second match where they won the last and lost the first one, Now Pant is in heavy criticism with his batting style of approach you have to take time on the crease. If you won't respect the conditions you have to pay the price.

In the 13th match of the IPL 2025, the Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings (LSG vs PBKS) match has been scheduled for Tuesday evening (April 1) at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. 

IPL 2025: How did LSG and PBKS start?

It will be the third game for Lucknow Super Giants and the second match for Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025. LSG started the season with a shocking one-wicket defeat against Delhi Capitals despite dominating the match mostly. However, they handled SunRisers Hyderabad strongly and claimed a five-wicket win after successfully chasing the 191-run target in 16.1 overs. On the other hand, the Punjab Kings had a high-scoring encounter with the Gujarat Titans in their season opener, where PBKS scored 243/5 and won by 11 runs after the hosts Titans replied with 232/5.

IPL 2025, Match 13: LSG vs PBKS Playing 11s Status 

LSG batting needs to be checked and cautious, as despite Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran providing strong starts for the team in both their IPL 2025 matches, the next batters struggled to handle the later situations. While the pacer Shardul Thakur is providing strong starts, the other bowlers need to perform with discipline. 

It is too early to say anything about Punjab Kings' playing XI. After a strong batting performance against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, the Punjab bowlers struggled on the tough bowling pitch. As they have some strong all-rounders, the franchise can make the batting order deeper. 

Unless any injuries, both teams are unlikely to make any significant changes in their respective playing XIs. 

IPL 2025, Match 13: LSG vs PBKS Playing XIs (Probable)

Lucknow Super Giants Predicted Playing 11: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (Captain), Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav

Punjab Kings Predicted Playing 11: Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya/Yuzvendra Chahal (Impact Players Sub), Josh Inglis (wk), Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh, Azmatullah Omarzai, Harpreet Brar, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Arshdeep Singh.

IPL match 13 is going to be played against Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants which is going to be a good clash between two quality teams where both of the teams are entering into the then match with a win on their side. Lucknow has played two games where they have won one and lost one though they tried their best to attain that match, too but couldn't get well executed. Here Punjab was given only one match and that, too they played in a dominating style. 

Head-to-headlight cons of bowling in Punjab side because they came backable to defend the big target and won the match by mere 11 runs, so there should be a slight adjustment in the bowling side. Lucknow has a balanced team but goes expensive at certain time. Their middle order  they have is such an insane one, with Mitchell Marsh and Pooran smashing the bowlers out of the park giving a scary night for the bowlers. Though LSG has the upper hand against their head-to-head contest Punjab would also have a great chance of coming back to trim down the tally between them.

In today's segment, we gonna see about the three players who can change the course of the match on their own with their beautiful performances. 

1 Shreyas Iyer
 The current Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer had a definite year in his cricket journey after a mere setback he has risen above all the odds that had been to him. He recovered from his injuries and won back-to-back tournaments for his team and nation. The second highest bidder in IPL history and whatnot. He has reunited with his old coach Ricky Ponting who earlier Delhi Capitals one of the best coaches and players of his time. 
Punjab Kings had a good first match against GT where captain Iyer's 97-run contribution gave a commanding score to the team and helped them win the game.

2. Nicolas Pooran

 Nicolas Pooran is a dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman for LSG whose aggressive batting has helped LSG to achieve big scores in the recent two games. LSG has played two games in IPL where they have won one and lost the other but Pooran's contribution in both the matches was top notch scoring above 50 in both the matches but it was a tough day for Lucknow where Delhi snatched the victory on the verge of loss. 

3. Shardul Thakur
Shardul Takhur has been really impressive in this year's IPL but the main thing was he was unsold in IPL in this year's auction he had the best season in Ranji for Mumbai being the highest wicket-taker for them. But due to injury, Mayank and the delay in recovery gave him an entry into the Lucknow team. He was bought for 4 crores by Lucknow and guess what he is the third-high wicket-takerakerthe in IPL's current season where he claimed the purple cap three days ago but now in this game, he has a chance to take back the Purple cap.
