The red-hot Mumbai Indians (MI) will be looking to extend their winning run to five games when they take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Wankhede Stadium. This is the match no-45 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and will start on Sunday at 03:30 PM (IST), April 27, 2025.
When Mumbai lost four times in the first five games, it seemed that the season was heading in the familiar direction and that is, towards big disappointment. This is no exaggeration, for Mumbai have witnessed two 10th place finishes in the last four season. However, on current form, which is four wins, Mumbai look like their old self.
Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, have hit a snag considering they have lost twice in the last three matches. But because of their strong start to the season, LSG are only two points off the top spot heading into this game.
