Today’s match is very important for both MI and LSG teams. While MI is at 9th position, LSG is facing consecutive defeats and is at 10th position. Rohit Sharma’s fitness and LSG’s batting will play a decisive role in this match.
Who is the match today (4th May) IPL 2026: In the 47th match of IPL 2026, today on Monday, May 2, there is a match between Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants. This match to be held at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium is like ‘do or die’ for both the teams. While Mumbai is at ninth position in the points table with 4 points, Lucknow is also present at the last i.e. tenth position with the same number of points.
Mumbai Indians (MI) were considered a strong contender for the title before the start of IPL 2026. They started the season in great style and achieved a huge target of 221 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders. But now the situation has completely changed. MI is currently ranked 9th in the points table, where it has won only 2 out of 9 matches. Their hopes of reaching the playoffs have now reduced considerably.

Mumbai Indians’ troubles: injury and poor form
Almost everything has gone wrong for MI this season. Rohit Sharma is suffering from hamstring injury. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya are struggling to score runs. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah is not successful in taking wickets. The balance of the team seems to be deteriorating continuously.
Keep an eye on Rohit Sharma’s fitness
Rohit Sharma gave a fitness test before the match and also batted in the nets. If he is available to play, it will be a big relief for MI. But despite this, it seems very difficult for them to make it to the playoffs. If Rohit Sharma is fit, he can come into the team in place of Robin Minz and open with Ryan Rickleton.
LSG’s situation: consecutive defeats after a good start
The situation of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is also similar to that of MI. They started the season with 2 wins out of 3, but have now lost 5 matches in a row. The team’s confidence has fallen. The fast bowlers have performed brilliantly for Lucknow, but the batsmen have disappointed. Especially Nicholas Pooran’s performance has been very weak and he has scored only 82 runs in 8 innings, in which his strike rate is 81.18. LSG now have Josh English available. If the team has to survive in the tournament, their batting unit will have to perform better together.
