Mumbai Indians will face Lucknow Super Giants in Match 47 of IPL 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium on May 4.
With both teams placed near the bottom of the points
table, this clash carries added significance as they look to revive their campaigns. Alongside the team battle, several individual records, rivalries, and player milestones could shape the outcome of this contest.
Key head-to-head stats ahead of MI vs LSG
Lucknow Super Giants have dominated the rivalry since joining the IPL, holding a strong advantage over Mumbai Indians in their head-to-head meetings.
- Matches played: 8
- Mumbai Indians wins: 2
- Lucknow Super Giants wins: 6
Despite Mumbai Indians' rich IPL history, Lucknow Super Giants have consistently performed well against them. However, Mumbai managed to register an important home victory against LSG in April 2025, ending a run of defeats at Wankhede in this fixture.
Major player battles to watch
One of the biggest contests in this fixture will be between Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant.
Bumrah has dismissed Pant seven times in 14 T20 innings, restricting him to an average of 7.85 in this matchup. If Bumrah strikes early, it could significantly dent Lucknow's batting plans.
Another crucial battle could involve middle-order hitters facing Mumbai's pace attack, especially during the death overs where matches at Wankhede are often decided.
Top run-scorers and wicket-takers in MI vs LSG rivalry
Several players have built strong records in this fixture over the years.
Suryakumar Yadav holds the record for the most runs for Mumbai Indians in this rivalry, having scored 215 runs against Lucknow Super Giants.
Former LSG skipper KL Rahul remains the leading run-scorer overall in MI vs LSG matches, with 289 runs in head-to-head encounters.
Among bowlers, Ravi Bishnoi has been the most successful wicket-taker in this rivalry, having claimed seven wickets against Mumbai Indians.
Players in focus based on IPL 2026 form
Recent performances from several players make them key figures heading into this clash.
Ryan Rickelton has been among Mumbai Indians' most consistent batters this season, scoring 297 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 177.84.
Young spinner AM Ghazanfar has impressed with the ball, picking up 11 wickets in seven matches, making him a strong fantasy option.
For Lucknow Super Giants, Prince Yadav has been one of the standout bowlers, claiming 13 wickets in eight matches this season.
Meanwhile, Mohsin Khan has delivered impactful performances, including a notable five-wicket haul (5/23) earlier in the season.
Big-hitting threat to note at Wankhede
One of the standout performances in this rivalry came from Nicholas Pooran, who smashed a rapid 75 runs off just 29 balls against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede in 2024.
Given the batting-friendly conditions at Wankhede Stadium, similar explosive innings from middle-order batters could once again influence the outcome of Match 47.
