MI vs LSG, IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians will look to carry forward the winning momentum when they host Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2025 encounter at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Mumbai have produced a superb comeback after struggling in the initial phase of the tournament. The team have won four matches on the trot and the biggest positive for them has been team's premier opener Rohit Sharma returning to form. Rohit has now slammed back-to-back half-centuries and will look to accumulate more runs and shut the naysayers.

Lucknow, on the other hand, have been hit with inconsistency and captain Rishabh Pant too has not been among the runs. The captain's struggles have somehow let the team down despite explosive shows by foreigners Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh. Aiden Markram too has been among the runs and Ayush Badoni has played handy knocks whenever required.

Both teams are level on 10 points after nine matches each. A win for either side will give them a major boost in the race for playoffs, which intensifies as the tournament progresses. A positive outcome for MI will take them to third position, considering their net run-rate, which is currently +0.673. Meanwhile, a win will help LSG take the number four spot.

Lucknow have been the more dominant side in the meetings between the two teams. While MI have managed just one win, LSG have outplayed the IPL heavyweights six times in all meetings, which includes the one from the ongoing edition. In fact, MI have also lost both their games against LSG at the Wankhede Stadium.
