Match Preview

Let’s be real — neither side is having the IPL 2026 they imagined. MI currently sit ninth on the points table, with just two wins from nine matches, coming off a defeat against CSK. LSG, meanwhile, are bottom of the table with two wins from eight games. With playoffs a distant dream, pride and momentum are everything now. crictracker

LSG return after a seven-day break, with their last game against KKR ending in a heartbreaking Super Over defeat — despite Mohsin Khan’s stunning 5/23 in the first innings. They’ll be hurting but hungry. Lucknow Super Giants

MI, on the other hand, have home advantage — and Wankhede is no ordinary ground. Their batting lineup boasts Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Ryan Rickelton, while their pace attack of Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, and Deepak Chahar is one of the most feared in the competition.

Prediction

LSG hold a 6–2 head-to-head edge over MI overall, which gives Pant’s side genuine belief. But Bumrah at Wankhede is a different proposition. MI appear slightly more settled compared to LSG, and home advantage tips the scales just enough. Lucknow Super Giants crictracker
