MI vs LSG Live Score: Mumbai Indians On Top as LSG Lose Key Wickets in Powerplay
Mumbai Indians asserted dominance early in the IPL 2025 Match 45 at Wankhede Stadium, reducing Lucknow Super Giants to 69 for 3 in 7.2 overs. A combination of pace, smart field placements, and pressure bowling has disrupted LSG’s chase of a mammoth 216-run target.
LSG Batting Collapse: Early Wickets Stun Top Order
- Aiden Markram was the first to fall, chipping a Jasprit Bumrah delivery to deep square leg. It wasn’t a typical wicket-taking ball, but poor placement cost him. He walked back for 9 off 11 balls, leaving LSG at 18/1.
- Nicholas Pooran, the in-form power hitter, struck 27 off just 15 balls with three boundaries and a six. However, he was caught brilliantly by Suryakumar Yadav at long-off on the first ball after the powerplay, trying to capitalize on a slot ball from Will Jacks. The score was 60/2.
- Rishabh Pant, in a continued slump, attempted a risky reverse sweep off Will Jacks and handed a simple catch to short third man. The shot selection was questionable given the match situation, and he departed for just 4, bringing LSG to 64/3.
Current Situation and Key Stats
- Score: 69/3 in 7.2 overs
- Target: 216
- Current Batters: Mitchell Marsh (22* off 14), Ayush Badoni (4* off 3)
- Fall of Wickets: Markram (18/1), Pooran (60/2), Pant (64/3)
What Happens Next
With three top-order batters back in the dugout, the pressure is squarely on Mitchell Marsh and Ayush Badoni to stabilize the innings and set up a late-overs push. MI’s bowlers, meanwhile, will look to capitalize on the scoreboard pressure and continue building dot-ball pressure through the middle overs.
As it stands, MI’s strong start with the ball has made this chase a steep hill for LSG. Stay tuned for more live updates as the drama unfolds in this high-stakes IPL 2025 clash.
