Match-Turning Moment: MI’s three batsmen (Rickelton 57, Jacks 63, Surya 62) scoring fifties ensured LSG had no chance defending.
Latest Match: April 27, 2025 – MI’s Batting Carnage
Mumbai needed this win desperately. After a poor start to the season, they’d won 4 consecutive matches. A fifth win would boost their playoff chances significantly.
MI Innings: Triple Fifty Show
LSG won the toss and surprisingly chose to field at Wankhede – traditionally a batting-first venue. They wanted to chase under lights with dew expected.
Early Setback:
Ishan Kishan fell in the second over for 8, caught by Ravi Bishnoi off Avesh Khan’s bowling. MI were 12/1.
Rickelton-Jacks Destruction:
Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks came together. What followed was absolute carnage.
Both batsmen attacked from ball one. Boundaries flowed like water. The 50-run partnership came in just 26 balls.
Rickelton reached his fifty off 24 balls with 5 fours and 4 sixes. His timing was impeccable. Pulls, drives, cuts – every shot from the textbook.
Jacks was equally destructive. He brought up his fifty off 23 balls with 4 fours and 4 sixes. The LSG bowlers had no answers.
The pair added 94 runs in just 47 balls for the second wicket. MI raced to 106/2 after 9.2 overs when Mohsin Khan finally dismissed Rickelton for 57.
Jacks-Surya Continue Assault:
Suryakumar Yadav joined Jacks. The bombardment continued without pause.
Both batsmen found boundaries effortlessly. Jacks completed his 4th IPL fifty. Surya reached his fifty off just 25 balls.
They added 75 runs in 41 balls for the third wicket. MI crossed 150 in the 15th over – one of their fastest ever.
Yudhvir Singh dismissed Jacks for 63 off 29 balls (5 fours, 5 sixes) in the 17th over. But the damage was done.
Surya continued hitting. He finished with 62 off 30 balls (4 fours, 4 sixes) before falling to Yudhvir in the 18th over.
Death Overs:
Hardik Pandya remained unbeaten on 28 off 16 balls, hitting 2 sixes. MI scored 52 runs in the last 4 overs.
- Final score: 215/7 – MI’s highest total against LSG.
LSG Chase: Collapse Under Pressure
Chasing 216, LSG needed their best batting performance. But MI’s bowling was relentless.
Decent Start:
Aiden Markram (31 off 22) and Abhishek Negi (42 off 28) gave LSG hope. They added 60 for the first wicket in 6 overs.
Middle Order Failure:
Once the opening stand broke, wickets fell regularly. Rishabh Pant fought with 37 off 25 balls but lacked partners.
Nicholas Pooran (12), Ayush Badoni (14), Abdul Samad (4) – all got starts but couldn’t convert.
Jasprit Bumrah’s Class:
Bumrah bowled a magnificent spell – 4 overs, 25 runs, 3 wickets at economy 6.25. He dismissed Pant, Badoni, and Bishnoi in crucial moments.
Arshad Khan’s Breakthrough:
The young pacer took 4/41 – his career-best IPL figures. He dismissed Negi, Pooran, Mohsin Khan, and Corbin Bosch.
LSG were bowled out for 161 in exactly 20 overs. They lost by 54 runs – MI’s biggest victory margin against them.

Wrapping Up
Despite MI’s 5 IPL titles compared to LSG’s zero, this head-to-head favors the newcomers heavily. LSG’s 6-2 record proves that past glory doesn’t guarantee current dominance.
The 2023 Eliminator was particularly significant – MI’s only win before 2025 came when it mattered most, eliminating LSG from playoffs. This shows MI’s ability to perform under pressure even when trailing head-to-head.
MI’s 2025 resurgence with back-to-back wins suggests the tide may be turning. As both teams fight for playoff spots annually, expect this rivalry to produce more high-scoring thrillers and close finishes.
