Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be facing each other in the 45th match of IPL 2025. The MI vs LSG match is scheduled to be played at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday (March 27).
MI will start the game as firm favourites thanks to their recent form. The four-time champions are on a four-match winning streak and will be fancying their chances of winning the upcoming game as well. MI are yet to beat LSG at home and will be keen to end the winless run.
LSG, on the other hand, have struggled with their form in recent games and will be looking to get back to winning ways with a win over MI. LSG have already defeated MI once this season and will be taking confidence from that victory.
As LSG and MI gear up for the match, we are taking a look at the full MI vs LSG match preview.

MI vs LSG key battles:
Mitchell Marsh vs Deepak Chahar:
The battle between Mitchell Marsh and Deepak Chahar has the potential to set the tone for the rest of the innings. While Marsh has been in terrific form with the bat this season, Chahar has managed to trouble the batters with his swing
In the last game against SRH, Chahar conceded only 12 runs and picked up 2 wickets. The onus will be on him to ensure that Marsh does not get off to a good start and lay the foundation for a big total for LSG.
Rohit Sharma vs Shardul Thakur:
After struggling early in the season, Rohit Sharma has roared back to form with two match-winning fifties in the last game.
He scored an unbeaten 76 against Chennai Super Kings before scoring 70 runs against LSG. With form on his side, Rohit will be eyeing another impactful outing with the bat.
He can win the game single-handedly for his side, and LSG will be hoping to get rid of him as early as possible.
LSG will be relying on Shardul Thakur's expertise to dismiss Rohit. Thakur plays for Mumbai in domestic cricket and will be looking to make the most of his experience.
Nicholas Pooran vs Jasprit Bumrah:
Nicholas Pooran is another player who can win the game single-handedly for his team. The southpaw began his campaign in IPL 2025 in a sensational fashion but has struggled in recent games. He will be desperate to turn things around and score big in the upcoming game.
While Pooran has not looked in good form in recent times, MI will be well aware of the threat possessed by him. And they will be relying on their star pacer Jasprit Bumrah to ensure that Pooran does not get going with the bat.
MI vs LSG Key Players:
MI- Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, and Deepak Chahar will be the key players for MI.
LSG - Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, David Miller, and Shardul Thakur will be the key players for LSG.
MI vs LSG Weather Report:
There is no prediction of rain in Mumbai on the match day. The temperature is set to hover in the early 30s during the match.
Conclusion:
With form on their side, MI will be eyeing another crucial win to extend their winning run. MI are firmly in the playoff race, and a win will put them in a good spot.
LSG, on the other hand, are in danger of throwing away yet another great position to qualify for the playoffs.
They have struggled in recent games and will be desperate to return to winning ways.
