LSG vs MI head-to-head: Can Lucknow Super Giants maintain dominance over Mumbai Indians?

Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will clash in a crucial IPL encounter on Friday, with both teams desperate for a turnaround after managing just one win in three matches. MI, under Hardik Pandya’s leadership, have struggled with form and consistency, while LSG have also failed to gain momentum, particularly due to Rishabh Pant’s ongoing slump with the bat.
MI’s batting has been a concern, with opener Rohit Sharma unable to deliver impactful performances, putting the team management in a tricky spot. However, South African keeper-batter Ryan Rickelton impressed in their recent win against Kolkata Knight Riders, where young left-arm pacer Ashwani Kumar also shone with a brilliant 4/24 on his IPL debut. Despite this, MI remain weakened by the prolonged absence of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, with no clarity on his return.

LSG, placed just below MI in the standings, have been heavily reliant on Nicholas Pooran’s explosive batting. The West Indies power-hitter leads the scoring charts with 189 runs from three matches, including two fifties. Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has also contributed, but other batters have failed to step up. Their bowling unit, spearheaded by Shardul Thakur and Ravi Bishnoi, has lacked consistency.

Lucknow Super Giants have dominated their head-to-head clashes against Mumbai Indians, winning 5 out of their 6 encounters. Mumbai Indians have managed just one victory, making LSG the clear frontrunners in their rivalry.
