MI vs LSG Match 45 Expert Advice

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai has maintained consistent batting-friendly characteristics in IPL 2025, with similar scoring patterns in both innings. The boundary percentage is remarkably high at this venue, making big hitters particularly valuable for fantasy contests.

The death overs are the most productive for scoring, compared to the powerplay and the middle overs. This suggests players who bat in the death overs or bowl effectively during this phase could be match-winners.

For batters, select those with good boundary-hitting ability like Pooran and Suryakumar Yadav. For bowlers, pick those who can take wickets in the middle overs where most dismissals occur at Wankhede. The 4th, 7th, 15th, and 19th overs have been particularly productive for wicket-taking this season. Teams traditionally target a first-innings score of 170+ to be competitive at this venue.
