LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: PANT OUT!

Another disappointment! PANT OUT, HARDIK STRIKES AGAIN! Second wicket of the game for Hardik, Pant gets a terrible leading edge trying to play the flick, and sends it straight to mid-off. Excellent diving catch taken by sub fielder Corbin Bosch.

LSG 107/3 (10.4)

LSG vs MI LIVE: 100 up for LSG

100 up for LSG! They’ve done it at a brisk pace, and are going at 10 an over. But they’ve been slightly pegged back by the quick departures of Marsh and Pooran. Can Pant now step up and rediscover his lost form?

LSG 100/2 (10)

LSG vs MI LIVE: POORAN OUT!

Hardik strikes! Takes pace off the ball, bowls it short. Nicholas Pooran tries to go for the pull shot, gets no timing, and sends it straight to the fielder at short fine-leg. Massive wicket for MI. Pooran out for 12.

LSG 91/2 (8.5)

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Hardik takes the ball

The captain appoints himself now. Enters the bowling attack. Hardik has been quietly impressive with the ball in IPL 2025. Can he be the middle overs enforcer to try and put the brakes on this LSG rampage? 

LSG 89/1 (8.3)

LSG vs MI LIVE: Second ball SIX!

Nicholas Pooran, welcome to the party! Second ball, sent all the way over mid-wicket for a maximum. 83 metres away. Third ball, hammered down the ground for 4. Pooran is not in the mood to hold back. 12 off the over.

LSG 88/1 (8)

LSG vs MI LIVE: OUT!

Vignesh Puthur has done the trick! MITCH MARSH DEPARTS! Caught and bowled! The Australian tricked by the turn, and ends up sending it straight back to Vignesh. Great sharp catch by the chinaman bowler. Marsh departs for a fantastic 60.

LSG 76/1 (7)

LSG vs MI LIVE: Here comes Vignesh Puthur

Mumbai Indians are desperate for a breakthrough, but it just does not seem to be happening. Left-arm wrist-spinner Vignesh sent to the stands by Aiden Markram. He’s been watching the Mitch Marsh Show from the other end, and now slogs over mid-wicket for 6.

LSG 75/0 (6.4)

LSG vs MI LIVE: More boundaries!

Just ridiculous hitting from Mitchell Marsh. Absolutely incredible. Two more boundaries. Ashwani Kumar has been sent to the cleaners by Australia’s T20I captain. 23 off the over! Marsh is on 60 runs off just 30 balls.

LSG 69/0 (6)

LSG vs MI LIVE: 50 MITCH MARSH!

Stunning half-century! 50 for Mitchell Marsh in just 27 balls. His partner at the other end is on 7 runs! Gets their with a glance towards fine leg, picks up two more. Be it pacers or spinners, Marsh has sent the MI attack all over the Ekana today.

LSG 58/0 (5.3)

LSG vs MI LIVE: 50 up!

50 up for LSG! Mitch Marsh is on 48! Absolutely incredible hitting. Hits it straight, clean for 6! Unbelievable hitting, does not spare Ashwani Kumar either. Next ball, dispatched through mid-wicket, one bounce and 4.

LSG 56/0 (5.2)

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: 4 more!

Whacked again by Mitch Marsh. He is in brutal form at the moment. Mitch Santner into the attack, and Marsh smashed him through square-leg for 4. Next ball, cut away, clean as you like! 4 more. Rampage. Hardik Pandya looks lost for words.

LSG 46/0 (5)

LSG vs MI LIVE: Great start by Ashwani!

Top start by Ashwani. Line and length on-point. Markram and Marsh not getting the room to free their arms and go for the big shot. Just 3 off the over, and the first one without a boundary. More promising stuff from the 23-year-old.

LSG 35/0 (4)

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Ashwani into the attack!

Here comes Ashwani Kumar. Change in the attack by Pandya, as he tries to stop this Mitch Marsh rampage. Ashwani had a historic debut, 4 wickets against KKR. Can he deliver once again? A lot of expectations on his shoulders now.

LSG 32/0 (3)

LSG vs MI LIVE: SIX! Wow!

Mitch Marsh, WOW! Sensational shot. Absolutely magnificent from the Australian. Picks up the delivery and deposits it over long-off for a maximum. Devastating hit. March is off to a flying start here.

And he picks up 4 more! Gets no timing, bottom-half of the balde, and it still goes down the ground for another boundary.

LSG 31/0 (2.4)

LSG vs MI LIVE: FOUR!

Boundary again! Mitchell Marsh gives it full power. Deepak Chahar really isn’t succeeding here with the short length. Marsh pulls it through mid-wicket for 4. Next ball, cover drive for 4! Glorious. LSG have begun quite well here thanks to their two overseas openers.

LSG 20/0 (1.5)

LSG vs MI LIVE: 4 more!

First ball, boundary! Aiden Markram off the mark in style. Delicate timing once again. Banged in short by Deepak Chahar, Markram opens the face of the blade and guides it between gully and third man for 4.

LSG 10/0 (1.1)

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Good comeback by Boult

Excellent line and length maintained by Boult in the first over. Just the one boundary, but then he comes back well to pick up three dots in a row. Cautious start for LSG. Deepak Chahar expected from the other end.

LSG 6/0 (1)

LSG vs MI LIVE: 4!

Excellent shot! FOUR! Classy from Mitch Marsh. Pitched full by Trent Boult, and hit back down by Marsh. Beautiful shot, right out of the middle of the blade. First boundary of the game for LSG.

LSG 6/0 (0.3)

LSG vs MI LIVE: Here come the players!

Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram are opening the batting for LSG, as expected. LSG are yet to win a game batting first this season, so they will need their openers to set a good foundation today. Trent Boult will open the bowling!

LSG vs MI LIVE: Will today be Rishabh Pant’s day?

Rs 27 crore. Only 17 runs so far in IPL 2025. Rishabh Pant’s arrival to LSG – after nine long years at Delhi – was much-awaited. It hasn’t gone to plan so far, but owner Sanjiv Goenka and coach Justin Langer will be hoping he finally comes good today.

LSG vs MI LIVE: Pressure on LSG

Pressure on LSG once again to set a big score. Surely this is the game that Rishabh Pant fires at last! Markram and Mitch Marsh will once again a tough job at the top of the order, but they need to set a good foundation for the likes of Pooran and Pant to take advantage.

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: LSG Playing XI

Lucknow Super Giants XI vs MI: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (c/wk), Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Akash Deep, Avesh Khan.

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: NO ROHIT SHARMA

Rohit Sharma is injured! Hardik Pandya drops the bombshell at the toss, stating that Rohit suffered a blow on his knee during practice. He is with the team at the Ekana Stadium, but he will NOT feature today. Big news!

LSG vs MI LIVE: MI win toss!

Hardik Pandya has won the toss again! Mumbai Indians choose to bowl vs LSG! Does this mean that Rohit Sharma will not feature in the first XI yet again? We are moments away from finding out.

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Here come the captains

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya and Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant are making their way to the pitch for the toss! Win the toss, bowl first seems to be the norm. Will that change? We are just moments away from finding out.

LSG vs MI LIVE: Will Rohit be in the first XI?

Rohit Sharma has not featured for Mumbai Indians in their on-field XI in their previous two games during the bowling phase. Instead, the 37-year-old has featured only as an impact sub batter against GT and KKR! Will MI go with the same strategy again?

LSG vs MI LIVE: 10 minutes to toss!

We are about 10 minutes away from toss time! Ekana is expected to provide a surface that will assist the bowlers more. Will be interesting to see what the toss-winning captain decides, but the unanimous choice in IPL 2025 has been to bowl first.

LSG vs MI LIVE: 5 players to watch out for

As the IPL 2025 juggernaut carries on to the Ekana Stadium, let’s take a look at 5 players to watch out for today, in the Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians match:

1. Rohit Sharma

2. Rishabh Pant

3. Ashwani Kumar

4. Nicholas Pooran

5. Suryakumar Yadav

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Nicholas Pooran!

Nicholas Pooran has been exceptional so far in IPL 2025. Arguably, the best batter of the tournament so far. He is the Orange Cap holder at present, and will hope that the LSG top order can fire today, so that he doesn’t have to worry about consolidating.

LSG vs MI LIVE: MI’s huge jinx vs LSG

Mumbai Indians have never beaten LSG in a league stage game in IPL history. Their only victory against them came in the IPL 2023 eliminator. Otherwise, LSG have won all five times these two sides have squared off.

Will MI shake off this unwanted record today?

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: LSG Probable XI

Lucknow Super Giants predicted XII vs MI: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (c/wk), Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Prince Yadav, Digvesh Rathi.

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: MI Probable XI

Mumbai Indians predicted XII vs LSG: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, Deepak Chahar, Mitchell Santner, Ashwani Kumar, Vignesh Puthur, Trent Boult.

LSG vs MI LIVE: LSG’s pacers returning soon?

Akash Deep has also finally joined LSG’s squad, slowly recovering from his own injury. The pacer also expressed confidence that Mayank Yadav may also return soon. LSG have invested Rs 28.75 crore combined for Avesh Khan, Akash Deep and Mayank, and would be hoping that they regain full fitness.

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Pressure on Rohit

Rohit Sharma is under pressure to deliver, much like Rishabh Pant. Eyes are on both stalwarts, as they’ve struggled for form in IPL 2025 so far? Will today finally be the day Rohit or Pant manage to break the shackles?

LSG vs MI LIVE: Rohit Sharma to not be in MI’s first XI?

In the previous two matches, Rohit Sharma has not been included in Mumbai Indians’ first XI, being used as an impact sub batter only. With the 37-year-old not adding anything as a bowler, this has been a big call made by the management.

Should MI bowl first again today, there is a high chance that Rohit would therefore not feature in their first XI.

LSG vs MI LIVE: H2H Record

LSG boast a phenomenal head-to-head record against Mumbai Indians in IPL history. In six games between the two franchises till date, LSG have won five, with MI having just a solitary victory. The latter will be desperate to change history tonight.

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: SKY back in form?

Suryakumar Yadav is steadily coming back into form. After a cautious innings against CSK in their opening game, SKY impressed against GT, before going berserk with a 9-ball 27 against KKR. It is much-needed for MI’s talisman to continue his good form if they are to continue winning this season.

LSG vs MI LIVE: Ashwani Kumar!

No Bumrah, no problem! Mumbai Indians’ renowned scouting system seems to have delivered once again. Another gem, Ashwani Kumar, was unearthed against KKR, leaving the defending champions stunned with a four-wicket haul on debut. The best-ever performance by an Indian bowler on IPL debut.

IPL 2025 LIVE: Fitness concerns for Bumrah

The question now on everyone’s lips, at least if they’re an MI fan, is when Jasprit Bumrah will finally be back. Reports suggest that Bumrah is set to miss this game against LSG and their next against RCB, but may be targetting a return from their sixth game.
