Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Mumbai Indians in match No. 16 of the Indian Premier League 2025 season. This game will be played at LSG’s home ground, the Ekana Cricket Stadium, also known as Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. LSG suffered a big defeat in their opening home game of the season and now face a Mumbai side that looked in ominous form in their last league outing.
Lucknow’s problems seem to be unending. They missed out on the playoffs last season, and based on what they have produced in the first three matches, it looks like this could be another long and arduous season for them. Off-field activities last season grabbed the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, and this year, whenever Sanjiv Goenka talks to Rishabh Pant, the cameramen are there, trying to make a big deal out of the conversation between the owner and the most expensive IPL player ever.
Whatever it is, both Lucknow and Rishabh Pant could use a decent run in the next few games. Pant’s own poor start to the season hasn’t helped him either.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, produced a completely dominant performance in their last league match. They restricted Kolkata Knight Riders to a modest total of 116 and chased it down in just 12.5 overs.
