Mumbai Indians (MI) host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 47 of IPL 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Monday, May 4, 2026. Match starts at 7:30 PM IST (toss at 7:00 PM IST).

Watch the live telecast on Star Sports Network and live stream on JioHotstar (app and website).

9th vs 10th. That is where these two storied franchises find themselves. MI have 2 wins from 9 matches and sit 9th. LSG have 2 wins from 8 matches and sit bottom of the table. One more loss for either side and their playoff dreams are effectively over.

MI are on a 3-match losing streak, including an 8-wicket thrashing by CSK at Chepauk. LSG have lost 5 in a row, their latest a Super Over heartbreak against KKR. Both teams are broken. Monday night at the Wankhede is their last realistic chance to stay relevant.

MI vs LSG Head-to-Head Record in IPL

Remarkably, LSG dominate this rivalry despite being the newer franchise.

LSG have won 6 of 8 meetings against MI. A 75% win rate makes this the most one-sided rivalry MI have against any active franchise. The five-time champions simply have not figured out how to beat LSG consistently.

Even the earlier Match 15 at Eden Gardens this season went to LSG. The head-to-head heavily favours Pant’s side, which is remarkable given MI’s pedigree.

MI vs LSG: Probable Playing XIs

Here are the Probable Playing XI of both Teams:

Mumbai Indians Probable XI

Ryan Rickelton (WK), Will Jacks, Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (C), Robin Minz, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Allah Ghazanfar, Ashwani Kumar.

Lucknow Super Giants Probable XI

Mitchell Marsh, Ayush Badoni, Rishabh Pant (C/WK), Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Mukul Choudhary, Mohammed Shami, Mayank Yadav, Prince Yadav, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Mohsin Khan.

Key Player Battles to Watch

Jasprit Bumrah vs Rishabh Pant: Two underperforming superstars with seasons on the line. Bumrah off-colour, Pant inconsistent. This duel defines the match.

Suryakumar Yadav vs Mohammed Shami: SKY is MI’s most important batter. Shami’s powerplay swing at Wankhede is a genuine threat. If Shami gets SKY early, MI’s batting crumbles.

Mayank Yadav vs MI’s top order: Express 150+ pace at Wankhede’s true surface against Rickelton and Jacks in the first 3 overs could set the tone for the entire match.

Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

The Wankhede has not felt like MI’s fortress this season. 3 consecutive home defeats. Capacity 33,108, tickets from ₹11,500 onwards (lower categories sold out).

Pitch is batting-friendly with short boundaries. First-innings totals of 195-215 are competitive. Dew makes chasing easier. Toss winner will bowl first.

Weather: 31-35°C, mostly sunny. No rain expected.

MI vs LSG Match 47 Prediction

A genuine 50-50 contest. Both have 2 wins. MI have home advantage but LSG have the H2H edge (6-2). LSG’s bowling (Shami, Mohsin, Mayank, Prince) is more cohesive than MI’s.

MI’s batting (SKY, Tilak, Pandya, Jacks) is marginally stronger. If MI bat first and post 190+, LSG’s batting struggles make it difficult. The toss will be crucial.

The loser’s season is effectively over. When there is nothing left to lose, expect both teams to play their most aggressive cricket of the season.
