IPL 2025: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Pitch Report & Stats Ahead of MI vs LSG Match

Mumbai Indians (MI) will lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 45 of the IPL 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on April 27. With both teams eyeing crucial points in the playoff race, fans can expect a thrilling afternoon encounter.

The Wankhede Stadium has been a batting paradise over the years, with an average first innings score of 172 and short boundaries favoring stroke play. Traditionally, chasing has been the preferred option here, with teams batting second winning 67 out of 122 matches. However, since this match is a day game, dew will not come into play, making the toss slightly less critical than usual.

Expect a flat pitch offering good bounce and carry, making it ideal for shot-making throughout the innings. The high-scoring nature of the ground was evident earlier this season, and another run-fest could be on the cards with MI’s powerful batting lineup and LSG’s sharp bowling attack set to clash.

Historically, Mumbai Indians have thrived at their home fortress, and their familiarity with the Wankhede conditions gives them a slight edge. However, if Lucknow’s bowlers, especially their pacers, hit the right lengths early on, they could certainly pose a strong challenge to MI’s explosive batting unit.
