The Lucknow Super Giants have a score of 203 for 8, with contributions from Marsh (60) and Markram (53), while Hardik took 5 wickets for Mumbai Indians.
Lucknow Super Giants’ strong batting performance, with half-centuries from Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh, resulted in a score of 203 for 8 against Mumbai Indians in Friday’s IPL 2025 match. Upon winning the toss and opting to bowl, MI captain Hardik Pandya managed to take five crucial wickets for the visiting team.
Although Marsh was given a caught-behind opportunity in the opening over of the match, Boult and his fellow bowlers were unaware and he took full advantage during the 69-run powerplay by hitting nine fours and two sixes.

The debut of left-arm wristspinner Vignesh Puthur dismissed Marsh, while Hardik’s slower bouncer ended Nicholas Pooran’s quick start. Similarly, Rishabh Pant also succumbed to a slower short ball from Hardik, continuing his lack of form.
Markram was initially aggressive during Pant’s presence, but then took a backseat when Badoni joined the game. While Badoni had a slow start, he eventually found his rhythm and scored 30 runs off 19 balls. However, he was dismissed while attempting a scoop shot just before the death overs began. As a result, LSG reached a score of 90 for 4 during the middle overs (7-16).
Markram scored his fifty in 34 deliveries, which was on the 98th ball of the innings. He was later dismissed by Hardik, who made a strong comeback and took two wickets in Jasprit Bumrah’s absence during the final overs. David Miller’s two boundaries in the last over helped LSG surpass the 200-run mark before Hardik claimed his fifth wicket, making him the first captain to achieve this feat in IPL history.
