IPL 2025: Pant Defends Decision To Bowl First In Smouldering Wankhede As LSG Slump To Defeat
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant defended his decision to bowl first in hot and humid conditions in an afternoon start at the Wankhede Stadium as his team slumped to a 54-run defeat in Match 45 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 here on Sunday.
The Mumbai batters capitalised on the pitch that looked good for batting and posted 215/7, riding on half-centuries by Ryan Rickelton (58) and Suryakumar Yadav (54). With the LSG batters scorched and cooked up by the hot and humid conditions, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult produced fiery spells to claim 4-22 and 3-20 to bowl out the visitors for 161 in 20 overs and secured MI's fifth straight win.
This was Mumbai's 150th win in IPL history, the first to reach this milestone, and also the first for the five-time champions over LSG in the league phase.
