Mumbai vs Lucknow on April 27

Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium in match No. 45 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), on Sunday, April 27. Hardik Pandya-led MI are a rejuvenated unit after coming back strongly from an abysmal start to the season. In their first five matches, MI managed only one win. However, they have turned things around commendably and are currently on a four-match winning streak. They defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in their most recent fixture by seven wickets in an away fixture. Meanwhile, Lucknow have also registered five wins and four defeats from nine games so far. However, their net run rate is -0.054 compared to Mumbai’s 0.673. LSG have blown hot and cold in the tournament. They are coming into this clash on the back of a one-sided eight-wicket defeat to Delhi Capitals at home. These two sides met each other in Lucknow earlier in the season. Rishabh Pant and Co. won the high-scoring encounter by 12 runs with notable performances from Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Digvesh Singh Rathi.

Best economical pick – Aiden Markram has scored four half centuries in nine matches so far this season. He will be a good option for this match.

Top captains & vice captains – Nicholas Pooran smashed 377 runs in the nine matches at a strike rate of 204. He smashed 61 runs against GT a few games back and will be a good captaincy pick for this match. After a slow start to the tournament, India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav is back delivering some exhilarating performances with the bat. Suryakumar Yadav has amassed 373 runs from nine innings at an average of 62.17 and a strike rate of 166.52. MI fans would hope for another special knock from Mr 360 on Sunday. 

Smart pick – The MI captain Hardik Pandya is having a fantastic season with the ball. He has bagged 12 wickets from eight games at an average of 18.92 and a strike rate of 12.50. His changes of pace and variations in length have been clinical. Hardik Pandya could hold the key with the ball for MI.

Cautious Pick – Rishabh Pant’s performance in IPL 2025 has been disappointing so far, with only 103 runs in 7 matches at an average of 17.17 and a strike rate of 104.04, including just one significant innings of 63 runs against CSK. He has struggled for consistency, frequently batting lower down the order and registering multiple single-digit scores, raising concerns about his form and confidence, which makes him a risky pick for your fantasy team at this stage.

My XI – Nicholas Pooran (Captain), Suryakumar Yadav (Vice-Captain), Aiden Markram, Hardik Pandya, Ryan Rickelton, Rohit Sharma, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Mitchell Marsh, Digvesh Singh Rathi, David Miller
