Match Overview

Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium in match No. 45 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), on Sunday, April 27.

Hardik Pandya-led MI are a rejuvenated unit after coming back strongly from an abysmal start to the season. In their first five matches, MI managed only one win. However, they have turned things around commendably and are currently on a four-match winning streak. They defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in their most recent fixture by seven wickets in an away fixture.

Meanwhile, Lucknow have also registered five wins and four defeats from nine games so far. However, their net run rate is -0.054 compared to Mumbai’s 0.673. LSG have blown hot and cold in the tournament. They are coming into this clash on the back of a one-sided eight-wicket defeat to Delhi Capitals at home.

These two sides met each other in Lucknow earlier in the season. Rishabh Pant and Co. won the high-scoring encounter by 12 runs with notable performances from Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Digvesh Singh Rathi.

Mumbai Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report

Batting has been easier in the second innings at the Wankhede Stadium with dew playing its part. Three out of the four games played at the iconic venue this season were won by teams batting second. The new-ball bowlers can get some swing in the first couple of overs, and the opening batters will have to be wary. Spinners have also had some assistance from the surfaces, but the dew factor hasn’t helped their cause.
