IPL 2026 Today's Match: MI vs LSG playing 11, batters vs bowlers matchups

Hardik Pandya-led MI will be hoping to secure their third win of the season in Mumbai to avoid dropping down to the bottom of the points table

In what could very well be one of the decisive games in the race to the playoffs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) are taking on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in match 47 of the season today. MI stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss for the match and invited Rishabh Pant-led LSG to bat first.

IPL 2026 MI vs LSG playing 11:  MI playling 11: Ryan Rickelton(w), Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Will Jacks, Raj Bawa, Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, AM Ghazanfar, Raghu Sharma  Impact players: Rohit Sharma, Mayank Rawat, Robin Minz, Shardul Thakur, Trent Boult  LSG playing 11: Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Josh Inglis, Nicholas Pooran, Akshat Raghuwanshi, Himmat Singh, Mohammed Shami, Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav  Impact players: Siddharth M, Digvesh Rathi, Mayank Yadav, Shahbaz Ahmed, Abdul Samad

 

Both sides are languishing at the bottom of the table with just two wins each, making this contest crucial for survival. Mumbai’s campaign has been derailed by inconsistency, with injuries and frequent changes in the top order disrupting their rhythm. Their bowling unit, barring one standout performance, has struggled to contain opposition batters.

 

 

Lucknow, meanwhile, have shown more promise with the ball, thanks to contributions from Mohammed Shami and Mohsin Khan. However, their batting unit has failed to click, with key players like Rishabh Pant and Nicholas Pooran yet to find sustained form.

 

With playoff hopes hanging by a thread, both teams will be desperate for a turnaround in what promises to be a high-pressure encounter.

 

Now, before the two sides finally take the ground, let’s take a look at the captaincy record of both skippers, their expected playing 11 combinations, and key player match-ups for the game.
