Both teams enter the contest with contrasting fortunes—LSG reeling from a heavy defeat at home, while MI are brimming with confidence after a dominant performance.
LSG had a forgettable outing in their last match, suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings. Their top order crumbled early, leaving the middle and lower order with a mountain to climb. Nicholas Pooran, despite showing resilience, couldn’t do much to rescue the innings.
It was Ayush Badoni라이브 바카라 composure and Abdul Samad라이브 바카라 explosive hitting towards the end that gave LSG a respectable total. However, their bowling lacked penetration, as Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer dismantled their attack with commanding half-centuries.
Nehal Wadhera provided the finishing touches, ensuring Punjab라이브 바카라 victory with ease. Digvesh Rathi was the only bright spot for LSG with the ball.
MI, on the other hand, had an easier time against Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede. Their bowling attack clicked perfectly, with Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar striking early in the powerplay. However, the real star was IPL debutant Ashwani Kumar, who tore through KKR라이브 바카라 lower middle order, finishing with record-breaking figures.
The 116-run target proved no challenge for MI, as Ryan Rickelton라이브 바카라 unbeaten half-century anchored the chase. Suryakumar Yadav played a brisk knock to ensure a quick finish, giving MI a much-needed boost after a slow start to the tournament.
LSG vs MI IPL 2025 Match: Key Player Battles to Watch Out For
Rohit Sharma vs. Shardul Thakur
Rohit Sharma has had an underwhelming start to IPL 2025, but the former MI skipper enjoys a favorable matchup against Shardul Thakur. Rohit has scored 80 runs in 59 balls against Thakur while being dismissed only once, maintaining an impressive average of 80 and a strike rate of 135.59. If Rohit gets going, LSG라이브 바카라 bowlers could have a tough time containing him.
Suryakumar Yadav vs. Ravi Bishnoi
Suryakumar Yadav has shown glimpses of brilliance, including a blistering 27 off 9 balls in MI라이브 바카라 last game. However, leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi has historically had the upper hand in this battle. Bishnoi has dismissed Suryakumar three times in IPL history, restricting him to a strike rate of 122. This contest could play a crucial role in shaping MI라이브 바카라 batting approach.
Mitchell Marsh vs. Trent Boult
Lucknow will be hoping for a strong start from Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who thrives in the powerplay with his aggressive batting. However, he will face a stern challenge from Mumbai라이브 바카라 pace spearhead, Trent Boult. Known for his lethal swing and ability to strike early, Boult could make life difficult for Marsh, setting up a fascinating duel between bat and ball.
