IPL 2025, MI vs LSG Highlights: Suryakumar Yadav 50, Jasprit Bumrah 4-fer take MI to 5th win in a row, 2nd in IPL table

MI vs LSG Live Score: 14 off Prince Yadav's over, and Rohit finally gets strike in the third over. Mayank tries to challenge him with a couple of short balls, but not sharp enoug: too easy for Rohit to swivel and deposit it over the head of the deep square leg fielder.

Mayank needs a change of plans.

MI vs LSG Live Score: Rickelton survives a very close-shave run-out, centimetres from Markram getting LSG a breakthrough. No half-measures next ball, Rickelton launches Prince Yadav over midwicket for the first six.

A couple of deliveries later, he bowls Rohit over at the non-striker's end, ball races past for another four. Good reflexes from the Indian skipper to avoid that.

MI vs LSG Live Score: Low 140+ on each of the first four deliveries from Mayank, keeping it full but tight. Four consecutive dot balls. First runs via a bouncer that is too high, and then Mayank overpitches which is enough for Rickelton to tap it back down the ground for an easy boundary.

Mayank still working his pace up. Keep an eye on his speeds through this match.

MI vs LSG Live Score: Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton head out to the pitch. Plenty of sun, plenty of energy. A man who can hit 150+ with ball in hand. Can he find his rhythm quickly? The southpaw Saffa on strike.

MI vs LSG Live Score: LSG welcome Mayank Yadav back. Interesting that David Miller, a fantastic fielder, starts on the bench, but he will certainly come in later.

LSG's playing XI: Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant, Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Prince Yadav, Mayank Yadav, Digvesh Rathi

Bench: David Miller, Yuvraj Chaudhary, Shahbaz Ahmed, Himmat Singh, Akash Singh

MI vs LSG Live Score: A couple of changes for MI. Santner injured and misses out, but Karn Sharma back fit, and Corbin Bosch making his IPL debut as well. Bumrah off the bench.

MI playing XI: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Karn Sharma

Bench: Jasprit Bumrah, Angad Raj Bawa, Reece Topley, Robin Minz, PSN Raju

MI vs LSG Live Score: Hardik Pandya finally loses a toss at the Wankhede Stadium, and will not get to chase this time around at home. Pant opts to bowl, Pandya says he would have done so as well.

Big news as Mayank Yadav comes in for LSG.

MI vs LSG Live Updates: The big positive for MI in their recent wins has been Rohit Sharma well and truly clicking into gear. Rohit has looked imperious at times in his last two innings, scoring 70+ on both occasions. With their talismanic opener really looking good at the moment, it gives their stacked middle order a platform that elevates them to the next level. LSG will need to poke and prod at Rohit's weaknesses against the seaming ball early, otherwise could be in some trouble.

MI vs LSG Live Updates: Jasprit Bumrah is slowly working his way back to his best, and today he will have the unenviable task of being the gun-for-hire for whenever Nicholas Pooran heads to the crease. Saving Starc for Pooran is a tactic that worked brilliantly for DC in LSG's last match, as Starc dismissed him on his first ball of the over: Bumrah will be called on to do the same.

Hardik Pandya will know that Bumrah has a good record against Pooran: in 18 deliveries in the IPL, Bumrah has dismissed him twice, conceding 13. A crucial part of the match that Pooran simply must look to play out and survive.

MI vs LSG Live Updates: Wankhede afternoon games usually promise a ton of runs, first innings scores well in excess of 200 and chases which cut it very close. With two absolutely stacked batting units on show, expect more of the same today, especially with LSG's bowling a little rough around the edges.

As for what the captain winning the toss might choose to do, it's anybody's guess. Dew hasn't been a factor even in evening games, but teams do generally prefer to chase. But if the pitch shows signs of wearing through the day, batting first might be on the cards, with runs on the board always a good safety cushion.

MI vs LSG Live Updates: What MI did do even in their losing start was keep those games close, and have made up for it with some massive victories since. This has made for what is currently the second-highest NRR in the tournament, behind only league-leaders GT.

Therefore, if they are able to keep that momentum going, MI could end up above even the Delhi Capitals in second with a win today. At the very least, they will move into third above RCB.

With DC and RCB facing off later in the day, that would be a result with massive implications.

MI vs LSG Live Updates: That win extended LSG's obscene record over Mumbai Indians. Now, in 7 games, LSG leads by 6-1. It's a thoroughly one-sided record, with LSG never having lost to MI in a regular-season game. MI's only win against this team came all the way back in the eliminator during the 2023 playoffs.

It's one of the stranger IPL head-to-heads: can LSG keep their dominance of MI rolling as they visit the Wankhede, where they have a 2-0 record over their hosts?

MI vs LSG Live Updates: In their earlier match this season, LSG ran out victors by 12 runs, thanks to a batting effort which saw Mitch Marsh and Aiden Markram contribute at the top with some powerful hitting later on. However, the match was most memorable for the strange retired-out of Tilak Varma, who struggled on the day and was hooked when MI were not too far off in the last couple of overs of their chase.

Tilak has finally clicked into gear since, as has much of the remainder of MI's team with the return of Jasprit Bumrah. Digvesh Rathi was LSG's hero of the day with figures of 1-21 from his 4 overs.

MI vs LSG Live Updates: Realistically, LSG should have lost each of their last three games, but got away with a heist against RR while defending a subpar total in Jaipur. The common thread in their last three matches has been the downturn in form of Nicholas Pooran: after his incredible start to the season, the West Indian hitter has only scored 28 runs off 22 deliveries in the last three matches.

LSG need to figure out a way to find consistent performances from the rest of the team when Pooran has an off day, but equally, they have to hope their star batter finds his groove again. They are still in a good position heading into the last five matches of the season, and this game at the good run-scoring environment at the Wankhede might give Pooran that revitalising boost to inspire a charge at the playoffs.

MI vs LSG Live Updates: There has been a lot of talk from the bottom of the table about ‘doing an RCB’ and staying alive, but MI have gone out and walked the talk by racking up results against their competitors near the bottom. Two wins against SRH and one result against CSK suddenly see MI in the positive column, building off their remarkable comeback against DC a couple of weeks ago.

Suddenly, from 1-4, they sit at 5-4 and with plenty of confidence about keeping the wins going. Another match against a bottom-half opponent, and a chance to head as high as second up ahead for the five-time champions.

MI vs LSG Live Updates: MI and LSG head into this contest with identical 5-4 records, but have used very different routes to get there. Nevertheless, this match provides an option to head to 12 points, and enter the top 4. As the playoff race really heats up across a very stacked top half of this table, this result's significance cannot be downplayed.

MI vs LSG Live Updates: We are well and truly in the sticky end of the IPL 2025 season, as two teams with playoff aspirations try to get a win on the board to head into the top four. It's fifth vs sixth in the table, and plenty on the line as the last third of the season begins. Action soon from a day game at the Wankhede!
