MI vs LSG IPL 2026: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians will look to keep their slim hopes of qualifying for the Playoffs alive as they take on fellow ‘wooden spooners’ Lucknow Super Giants in match no. 47 of the IPL 2026 season at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. Both MI and LSG are currently on 4 points each, with the home team just ahead of Rishabh Pant’s side on the basis of their superior net run-rate.
However, Hardik Pandya’s MI are currently on a three-match losing streak and have only managed to win one out of their last 5 matches so far. The visitors, on the other hand, have lost their last five matches in a row.
The pressure is now severely rising on LSG skipper Rishabh Pant, who is currently the most expensive cricketer in the IPL 2026 with a salary of Rs 27 crore per season from owner Sanjiv Goenka. Pant’s LSG have failed to qualify for the Playoffs in the last 3 seasons.
Pant has only managed to score 189 runs in IPL 2026 at a modest strike-rate of 126.84 with only one half-century to his name. “I don’t think the price tag has got to do anything with it. It’s just a question of, if you really look at his batting throughout and if you look at the second game that we played, he took us through the (finish) line. I wouldn’t be too concerned about his form. It’s just a question of (him being) one innings away from getting back his form,” LSG bowling coach Bharat Arun said in the pre-match press conference in Mumbai on Sunday.

MI themselves have their own share of troubles, starting from their bowling attack as Jasprit Bumrah has struggled to pick up wickets while Indian T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav has been short of runs. “I think it’s not just Booms (Bumrah). It’s a collective effort from all the bowlers. When everyone’s working together and picking up wickets here and there, it helps Boom to be a bit more aggressive rather than doing a holding job. Like I said, everyone tends to have a slow season, but class is always permanent,” MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene said.
LSG hold a big edge over MI when it comes to head-to-head record with 6 wins as compared to 2 losses so far. Even at Wankhede Stadium, LSG have managed to post 2 wins in three games against the home side.
