MI vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Suryakumar Yadav solid; Mumbai Indians lose three in 204 chase

Mumbai Indians are in the middle of a thrilling chase against Lucknow Super Giants , needing 204 runs for victory. The game has already seen its fair share of drama, with both teams fighting tooth and nail to gain the upper hand. Mumbai Indians’ innings got off to a shaky start, but a strong partnership between Naman Dhir and Suryakumar Yadav has kept them in the hunt.

Mumbai’s Rocky Start

Mumbai’s chase began on a shaky note as they lost both their openers within the first three overs. Will Jacks was the first to fall, caught by Ravi Bishnoi at deep backward square leg off Akash Deep’s bowling. Ryan Rickelton followed soon after, dismissed in a similar fashion by Bishnoi off Mohsin Khan’s delivery. At 17/2, Mumbai was under pressure early in the innings.

Dhir and SKY Steady the Ship

Naman Dhir and Suryakumar Yadav then took charge, stitching together a crucial 69-run partnership for the third wicket. Dhir was particularly aggressive, smashing three sixes in a row off Akash Deep’s over, including one that just cleared the ropes despite Bishnoi’s valiant effort. However, Dhir’s innings came to an end when he was bowled by Digvesh Singh for a well-made 46 off just 24 balls. His dismissal brought Tilak Varma to the crease, who has since been building a partnership with Yadav.

Yadav’s Flair Keeps Mumbai in the Game

Suryakumar Yadav has been the anchor for Mumbai, playing some exquisite shots to keep the scoreboard ticking. His ability to find the gaps and his innovative stroke play, including a cheeky scoop over fine leg, has been a treat to watch. At the time of writing, Yadav is batting on 20 off 14 balls, with Mumbai needing 103 more runs from the last 10 overs.

Lucknow Super Giants’ Bowling Efforts

Lucknow Super Giants’ bowlers have had their moments, with Akash Deep and Digvesh Singh picking up crucial wickets. Deep, in particular, has been expensive but managed to break the dangerous partnership between Dhir and Yadav. Ravi Bishnoi has been a standout in the field, taking two catches and saving crucial runs. However, Lucknow will need to tighten their bowling in the death overs to defend their total.
