MI vs LSG Match 45

MI pulled off a stunning victory at Wankhede to move them up into second place with an emphatic 54-run win against LSG.

Ryan Rickelton gave MI an ideal start with some boundaries during their powerplay overs before going on to score his fifty with just 12 deliveries remaining in their innings.

Suryakumar Yadav played an essential role as he became IPL 2025’s highest run-getter while Naman Dhir and Corbin Bosch made sure their innings never bogged down either.

Aiden Markram had been their opener, smashing sixes before succumbing to Jasprit Bumrah’s back-of-the-length delivery from impact substitute Jasprit Bumrah’s back-of-the-length delivery.

Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh came up to bat as substitutes and helped their side reach 215.

Will Jacks quickly brought back control to five-time champions Rajasthan with two wickets in three balls, dismissing Pooran before sending Pant back quickly in order to ensure LSG could not recover from an embarrassing start.

Trent Boult played a pivotal role in ending LSG’s hopes, as he removed David Miller, Mohsin Khan and Avesh Kumar within five overs – effectively eliminating their chances of victory and giving MI the victory for only the second time ever – an Eliminator match in IPL 2023! This victory marked only MI’s second league victory against LSG (after earlier beating them).

MI vs LSG Prediction

Mumbai Indians have found their groove in recent games and are on an impressive four-match winning streak since starting off slowly this season.

Now, with LSG as an opponent, Mumbai may move further up the table; victory could go a long way toward guaranteeing them playoff qualification.

LSG remains one of the most exciting teams to watch despite losing star batsman Nicholas Pooran; Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram remain key contributors, topping run-scoring charts for LSG this season and helping secure recent success for LSG.

Mumbai’s scorching heat presents teams with an unique challenge when playing on its fields and is predicted to remain around 37 degrees Celsius with high humidity, making conditions challenging for both teams as well as making it hard for bowlers to perform to their peak ability.

According to Accuweather, temperatures in Mumbai will average 37 degrees Celsius with high humidity; making conditions challenging for both sides and even bowlers trying to reach their full potential.

MI’s batsmen must remain calm and resist getting carried away as Rohit Sharma leads from the front with their aggressive approach and quick runs, hoping that this combination can reach a competitive total. Naman Dhir, Bevon Jacobs Ryan Rickelton and Shrijith Krishnan must step up their performances as they look for victory on Wednesday.

On the bowling front, Jasprit Bumrah should make an expected comeback after recovering from leg injury and was excellent against Sunrisers Hyderabad last time out.

Ajay Dev Goyea should provide him with support throughout this game and should play an integral role as well.

Avesh Khan has been impressive with his death overs work; however, aside from him the rest of the team lacks enough firepower to consistently challenge MI in its bowling unit.

Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Ayush Badoni Shardul Thakur and Ravi Bishnoi may not pose as much of a threat for batsmen against whom they may bowl.

Mumbai Indians made an impressive three-place leap up the TATA Indian Premier League 2025 points table after their 54-run victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav both contributed key knocks for MI, scoring half centuries each en route.

LSG made an unsure start in their chase of 215/7, with both Nicholas Pooran and Rishabh Pant failing to convert early starts into big scores. Will Jacks immediately took control by dismissing both Pooran and Pant with back-to-back deliveries from him in the third over. Later joined by Jasprit Bumrah as they cleaned up the rest of the batting order with ease.

Ravi Bishnoi and Mitchell Marsh tried their hardest to keep LSG’s hopes alive, but both fell prey to Trent Boult’s slower short balls. Bumrah then removed David Miller, Avesh Kumar and Abdul Samad in five balls to end LSG’s chances of victory.

Rohit Sharma is rarely seen playing domestic cricket, making his appearance for Mumbai against Sikkim more than just a treat for fans.

Rohit is making his Vijay Hazare Trophy comeback since 2018 and sending a strong signal that BCCI recognizes the value of such tournaments for centrally contracted players.

When asked by Jacks about being called the Slayer of Left-Handers he smiles broadly while responding that they simply enjoy playing for MI and feel happy to contribute both with bat and ball; adding that MI strive to create special experiences for their supporters; adding that MI is doing an exceptional job at doing exactly this with regards to making fans’ experiences special as opposed to making life miserable!
