Mumbai Indians Crush Lucknow Super Giants by 54 Runs for Fifth Consecutive IPL 2025 Win
Mumbai Indians (MI) extended their winning streak to five matches with a dominant 54-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium, powered by Ryan Rickelton’s 58 and JaspritBumrah’s 4/22. After LSG opted to bowl, MI posted 215/7, with Suryakumar Yadav (54 off 32) and Rickelton anchoring the innings. Mayank Yadav, returning for LSG, took 2/38, but MI’s late flourish from NamanDhir (25*) ensured a formidable total.
LSG’s chase crumbled under Bumrah’s fiery spell, as the pacer dismantled the top order, including Rishabh Pant (9), and later returned to clean up the tail. Trent Boult (3/30) and Will Jacks (2/15) compounded LSG’s woes, reducing them to 161 all out in 20 overs. Ayush Badoni (35) and Mitchell Marsh (34) offered brief resistance, but LSG’s batting collapsed post the powerplay.
The win propels MI to 12 points, reigniting their playoff bid, while LSG’s inconsistency leaves them mid-table. Rohit Sharma’s resurgence (12 off 8) and Bumrah’s return to form marked key positives for MI, echoing their 2015 title-winning turnaround after a slow start.
