Top 3 captaincy picks for LSG vs MI Dream11 Prediction Today: IPL 2025 Match 16

The 16th match of the IPL 2025, LSG vs MI, is scheduled to be played on Friday evening in Lucknow.

Another high-voltage contest is waiting for the fans as the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the next game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. This encounter is scheduled to be played on Friday evening at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

MI are coming off their first win of the season, which came against the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai. LSG didn’t enjoy their last game and suffered a one-sided defeat against Punjab Kings. But these two teams can produce a great show on the given day.

With the firepower these two have, this match will be much awaited among the fans on fantasy cricket platforms. Especially, teams with good captains can do even better on fantasy cricket platforms.

For that, we’ve suggested three players who could be great choice to be made captain of Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for LSG vs MI, Match 16, IPL 2025

1. Nicholas Pooran

Nicholas Pooran is the leading run-scorer of the IPL 2025 and has played well in three games so far. Pooran has earned 179, 156, and 86 fantasy points in the three games he has played. That is the consistency you must see before choosing anyone as captain of Dream11 teams.

Pooran is in great form, and in Lucknow, he knows the conditions very well. That is why he can be a good captaincy pick for LSG vs MI Dream11 teams.

2. Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya, with his all-round ability, is a safe choice to pick as captain of any Dream11 team. In his case, one thing is certain: he is likely to get points in one department for sure. He is bowling his full quota of four overs.

His change-ups and cutters can be effective in Lucknow, especially against the non-performing LSG middle order. Then, he earns points with his batting and fielding as well.

3. Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav is the leading scorer for MI in the IPL 2025. Rohit Sharma hasn’t done enough, and Ryan Rickelton only had one good match. That is where MI have always looked up to Suryakumar in tough situations, and he has always delivered.

He is in good form and will enjoy LSG’s slightly inexperienced bowling unit. He likes scoring against spinners, and that is one area he can dominate in this game. That is why he can be another good captaincy pick for LSG vs MI Dream11 teams.
