Mumbai Indians (MI) will lock horns against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 47th game of IPL 2026. Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, will host this bottom-of-the-table clash on 4th May 2026 at 7:30 PM IST.

MI is ninth in the points table. LSG is at the bottom. Both teams are out of the playoffs race in what has been a very disappointing campaign.

MI, despite the quality in their squad, have failed to click this season. The bowling has been abysmal, and the batters have failed to be consistent. Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Trent Boult, and Jasprit Bumrah have failed to deliver.

On the other hand, LSG won two of their first three matches, followed by five losses in a row. LSG’s poor performance is due to the constant failures of their batting unit. Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant, and Nicholas Pooran have not delivered to standard Only one batter (Mitchell Marsh) has scored 200+ runs for LSG after eight matches.

Bowling has been the cause for optimism. Prince Yadav (13 wickets) has led the pack well. Mohammed Shami and Mohsin Khan have also bowled well for the Super Giants, while the spinners must step up.

However, despite the poor performances of both teams this season, this match promises to be a cracking one.

Fantasy Cricket Tips for MI vs LSG: Players to Watch/Key Stats

Top wicketkeeper picks:  

• Rishabh Pant has 189 runs in eight innings at an average of 27 with one fifty to his name. Pant has failed to get going this season, but he has a great IPL record at the Wankhede: 12 inns, 374 runs, avg. 37.4, SR 165.5.
• Ryan Rickleton has 297 runs in seven games this season at an average of 49.50 and strike rate of 177.84, with a century and a half-century. He has a 45.33% probability of making a 30+ score, according to SPODA AI predictive analysis.
• Josh Inglis should play this game for LSG. He is excellent against spin. Inglis has 111 runs in two matches against MI, with scores of 73 and 38. You can try him as C/VC too.

Key batter picks: 

• Mitchell Marsh is the highest run-scorer for LSG this season (212 runs), but he’s been far from his best. He should enjoy the conditions at the Wankhede Stadium and will fancy his chances against Mumbai’s struggling bowling unit. He’ll be another popular C/VC pick.

Top all-rounder picks: 

• Aiden Markram has been pretty disappointing this season. He is technically strong and can exploit the field restrictions if he gets going. Markram can also bowl an over or two if needed. He is still considered a solid chance of making a 30+ score today according to SPODA AI predictive analysis (41.12% probability).
• Will Jacks is looking in good touch at the top. He’ll take the attack to the opposition in the first few overs. There hasn’t been much movement for the pacers at Wankhede this year, but Jacks will have to be cautious against LSG’s in-form pace attack. He can roll his arm over if needed. 

Key bowler picks: 

• Prince Yadav has been brilliant for LSG. He has 13 wickets in eight games at a strike rate of just 13.80. He’s someone you can’t miss out on in your fantasy teams, especially when MI’s middle order and lower order have struggled badly this season. He has a 41.46% probability of taking 2+ wickets as per SPODA AI predictive analysis.
• Mohsin Khan has nine wickets in four matches this season. He picked up a 5-wicket haul in the last game against KKR. He’s been brilliant with the new ball and hits the deck hard. Mohsin will be a key bowler for LSG against MI’s opening pair.
• Allah Ghazanfar is the rare in-form player for MI in IPL 2026. He has 11 wickets in seven matches and will be an important player for MI against LSG’s struggling batting order. He has nine wickets in the last four matches and is considered the likeliest bowler to take 2+ wickets according to SPODA AI predictive analysis (42.62% probability).

IPL 2026 47th Match: MI vs LSG Match Prediction: Who will win?

The match will be decided between Mumbai’s batting and LSG’s pace attack. Mumbai’s bowling has been very bad this season, so LSG batters will fancy their chances, but if MI scores big, then it might be difficult for them. Both teams have good depth with the bat, but LSG’s bowling has been far better compared to Mumbai.

Lucknow Super Giants to win.
