The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 continues to deliver thrilling encounters, and today's match at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is no exception. Mumbai Indians (MI) posted an imposing total of 215/7 in their 20 overs against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on April 27, 2025, with the match starting at 3:30 PM IST.
The Mumbai Indians' batting lineup came out aggressively, putting the LSG bowlers under immediate pressure. Opener Ryan Rickelton led the charge with a dazzling 58 runs off 32 balls, striking six boundaries and four sixes. His fluent strokeplay set the tone for MI’s innings, entertaining the Wankhede crowd with a combination of precision and power.
Joining the party was Suryakumar Yadav, who looked in sublime touch once again. The flamboyant right-hander smashed 54 runs off 28 deliveries, peppered with four boundaries and four towering sixes, keeping the scoreboard ticking at a rapid pace. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals towards the latter half of the innings, Mumbai Indians maintained a brisk scoring rate to post a challenging total of 215.
Lucknow Super Giants' bowlers put on a decent performance
Among the LSG bowlers, Mayank Yadav stood out with a spirited performance. The young pacer finished with figures of 2 wickets for 40 runs in his allotted 4 overs, providing some crucial breakthroughs and helping to contain the otherwise rampant MI batting lineup. However, the overall effort from the LSG bowling attack was not enough to prevent Mumbai Indians from setting a mammoth target.
With a daunting 216 runs needed for victory, the Lucknow Super Giants will have to put in a strong batting performance under pressure if they are to chase down the total. The pitch at Wankhede is known for favoring batsmen, but the scoreboard pressure in a high-stakes IPL clash will test the nerves of LSG’s batting lineup.
