MI vs LSG — Points Table

Both the Mumbai Indians and the Lucknow Super Giants are fighting to keep their IPL 2026 playoffs hopes alive, with both teams losing six games each. MI are currently sitting 9th on the table with a negative net run rate, and they can’t bear another defeat in the ongoing tournament.

If they face defeat against LSG, MI’s playoff chances will end on May 5, having already lost six of their eight matches so far in the tournament. On the other hand, the Lucknow Super Giants’ story is the same, as they also have only four points from eight games so far this season. A win could save LSG’s campaign, but if MI manages to crush them, it will effectively end their playoffs hopes.
