Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be looking to bounce back when they take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 45th game of IPL 2025. The match is scheduled to be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (April 27).
After winning four of their first six games, Lucknow Super Giants have struggled with their form in recent games. They have lost two of their last three games and will be desperate to win the upcoming match to remain in contention for the playoffs.
In their last game, Lucknow Super Giants suffered a heavy 8-wicket loss at the hands of Delhi Capitals.
While the momentum is with MI for the upcoming game, Lucknow Super Giants will take confidence from their win over the five-time champions earlier in the tournament. As LSG gears up for the crucial match, we are taking a look at the LSG Playing 11.
LSG Playing 11 vs Mumbai Indians- IPL 2025, Match 45:
Openers: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh
Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh are set to be the openers in the LSG Playing 11 for the upcoming match against MI. Both the openers are in great form this season and will be eyeing another good outing with the bat.
Even in the last game, both batters impressed with the bat. Markram scored 52 runs while Marsh scored 45. They shared an 87-run stand for the first wicket and will be eyeing another impactful outing with the bat.
Middle-order: Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Abdul Samad, David Miller
After a stunning start to the campaign, Nicholas Pooran has struggled with his form in recent games. The southpaw was out for only 9 runs in the last game. He will be raring to roar back to form in the upcoming game against MI.
Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant will have a point to prove in the upcoming game. Things have not gone well for Pant this season, and the last game was probably the lowest point. He came out to bat at number seven and was out for a two-ball duck.
Pant looked visibly upset over his lower batting position and will look to make a statement in the upcoming match.
The likes of Abdul Samad and David Miller will also look to bounce back after failing for a small score in the last game. Samad was out for 2 while Miller scored 14.
Ayush Badoni was used as an Impact Player in the last game and scored 36 runs. He can play a similar role in the upcoming match as well.
Bowlers: Shardul Thakur, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav
The LSG Playing 11 is set to have three pacers and two spinners. Shardul Thakur, Avesh Khan, and Prince Yadav are set to be the three pacers. On the other hand, Digvesh Rathi and Ravi Bishnoi are set to be the two spinners in the LSG Playing 11.
None of the Lucknow Super Giants' bowlers managed to pick up a wicket in the last game and will be eyeing a better show.
