Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are set to cross swords with Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 16 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season on Friday, April 04, at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. LSG is coming off a massive loss against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their last match, while MI brushed aside Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by eight wickets to get their campaign back on track after losing two games on the bounce. This match is crucial for both LSG and MI, as the winner of this game will break into the top half of the points table.
LSG will receive a massive boost ahead of their clash against MI as pacer Akash Deep is back. His inclusion should bolster the pace attack, which was already handicapped by the absence of Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan. On the other hand, for MI, the former skipper Rohit Sharma's lack of runs at the top is a huge concern. MI would be hoping the veteran finds his mojo back sooner rather than later.
