A sold-out Wankhede Stadium welcomes Match 45 of IPL 2025 as Mumbai Indians host Lucknow Super Giants in the first encounter in Sunday’s double header of the Indian Premier League.
The Super Giants have dominated this rivalry since their debut in the IPL, winning six of the seven meetings, including the season opener at Lucknow, where they defended 203 for a 12-run victory on April 4, 2025.
However, the five-time champions arrive on the back of a four-match winning streak — with their most recent win being a seven-wicket chase of 144 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their own backyard.
Meanwhile, LSG will be hurting from their eight-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals on April 22, 2025 and will look to rebound at the Wankhede stadium.
Will Mumbai break their Wankhede hoodoo, or will LSG extend their stranglehold on this fixture? Let’s take a look at the key numbers:
