In response, five-time champion Mumbai could only score 191 runs in the last over. This is Mumbai Indians' third defeat out of four matches in IPL 2025. With this defeat, the Mumbai team has now come to 7th place. Mumbai's start was not very special while chasing the target at the Ekana Cricket Stadium against Lucknow. Both Mumbai batsmen Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton were out early. After this, Naman Dheer and Suryakumar Yadav took charge for Mumbai. Naman Dheer was out after scoring 46 runs in 24 balls for Mumbai, but after this Suryakumar Yadav batted well and took the team's score beyond 150 runs. After Suryakumar Yadav was out, Hardik Pandya came to bat, but he was seen struggling for the team in batting.

After Suryakumar was out, it was the responsibility of Tilak Verma and Hardik to finish the match, but Lucknow's bowlers tied down both the batsmen in the last three overs. Mumbai needed 19 runs to win in the last 12 balls, but Shardul Thakur conceded only 6 runs in the 19th over.
