LSG to Win as MI Face Elimination

Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants both have just four points, with MI sitting ninth and LSG tenth. The loser of Monday's crucial match at Wankhede will almost certainly become the first team mathematically eliminated from IPL 2026.

Despite MI's five titles, they've struggled this season with inconsistent bowling and batting. LSG, despite having the worst net run rate (-1.106), are predicted to win with their stronger bowling attack and potentially explosive batting at the batter-friendly Wankhede pitch. palladian.co.za
