Mohsin exacts his revenge! It wasn't the greatest delivery from Mohsin Khan, but Rickelton has somehow chipped it straight to the man at cover. An easy catch for Josh Inglis, and the dangerous opening stand is finally broken. Rickelton receives a supportive punch on the shoulder from Rohit as he walks back after a sensational 83 off 32 balls.
MI: 143/1 (10.5)

4, 6, 6 - Rickelton is taking Mohsin apart! He looks almost inevitable at the moment, finding the boundary at will. MI are well and truly running away with this chase, thanks largely to his brilliance. Mohsin Khan, on the other hand, is having a tough day at the office!

MI: 143/0 (10.4)

Rohit is absolutely livid with himself! He hurls a mouthful after missing a slower bouncer from Prince Yadav. MI are cruising at the moment!

Rohit joins Rickelton with a stunning fifty! Just 27 balls taken! What a comeback this has been from the Hitman! MI are well and truly chasing with these two firing on all cylinders.
MI: 104/0 (8.1)

50 up for Rickelton! He gets there in 22 balls. Excellent batting from the South African.

MI: 97/0 (7.5)

Rohit and Rickelton playing musical chairs at the moment - who is going to hit more sixes today! It's 4 for the senior marksman so far, while the South African has three. Insane power-hitting!

MI: 86/0 (6.5)

4, 4, 6, 6 - Rohit is having a blast at the Wankhede! He takes the game to Avesh Khan, who is punished ruthlessly for bowling short. It's a massive, expensive over from an LSG perspective, and MI are now absolutely flying in this chase!
MI: 70/0 (8.5)

Drilled past mid-off! Rickelton doesn't even bother looking as he hammers that one for four. It was full and wide outside off, and he made the bowler pay with interest. There was absolutely no chance for the fielder to cut that out-pure timing and power!
MI: 54/0 (5.2)

Back-to-back boundaries for Rickelton! Both deliveries were angled wide of off-stump, and Rickelton managed to find the gap on both occasions. He has raced to 30 off just 12 balls, and MI are absolutely flying in this Powerplay!
LSG: 43/0 (3.3)

Rohit survives! A confident LBW shout from Shami but the umpire is unfazed. Pant isn't interested either but takes it reluctantly for an adamant Shami. Ball tracker shows it was just going over the leg stump. Review wasted! Loud road from the Wankhede!

Vintage Rohit! Shami serves one right in the slot, and Rohit simply picks it up, lofting it effortlessly over wide long-on. He was never going to miss out on that one. A top-tier shot from the 'Hitman,' and the Wankhede is absolutely loving every bit of it!
MI: 27/0 (2.2)

Rohit is off the mark in style! He chases a length ball wide of off and gets a thick outside edge that flies over Himmat Singh at first slip. It's the first boundary for the returning 'Hitman,' and the Wankhede crowd is making sure he feels the love!
MI: 14/0 (1.2)

A "Sharma swap," says Simon Doull as Rohit replaces Raghu for MI's chase. Rickelton to face the first ball. Shami will start around the wicket against the left-hander. Thick edge flies past first slip and into the gap for a four!
MI: 4/0 (0.1)

Rahul Chahar finishes with a fine final over as LSG post 228/5 in their 20 overs. While Himmat and Markram stitched together a vital 68-run stand, LSG might feel it lacked the necessary late-over acceleration, coming off 47 deliveries. Interestingly, Corbin Bosch bowled just two overs despite claiming two crucial wickets earlier in the piece-a tactical move from MI that will certainly be debated.

Bumrah goes wicketless! It's been a rare, expensive outing for the speedster, who finishes with figures of 0/45. LSG are now eyeing a total of 240+ with just one over to go, and Himmat Singh will be on strike to face Chahar.
LSG: 222/5 (19)

6, 4, 6 - Himmat is on the charge! He makes Bumrah and MI pay dearly for the no-ball, as his explosive cameo puts LSG back on track to breach the 240-run mark. Meanwhile, there's major concern for Mumbai as Bumrah has walked off the field with an over still left in his spell. MI fans will be holding their breath.

LSG: 205/5 (16.5)

LSG are really struggling at the moment! The onus is completely on Markram, who has also found it difficult to get going, managing just 14 off 14 balls. LSG are 175/5 with five overs remaining; they need a blinder of an innings from Markram to push them toward a formidable total.

Bumrah strikes but that's a no-ball! Lifeline for Himmat Singh! Sunil Gavaskar this is unacceptable. 

"This is not acceptable. You are a professional cricketer. Wides, I understand. But not no-balls," Gavaskar said on commentary.

Maiden IPL wicket for Raghu! He gets the big one in Raghuvanshi, and LSG are suddenly staring at a batting collapse. This was flighted on a length and spun sharply into the batter; Raghuvanshi charged down to punch it but only managed a thick edge that lobbed right back to the bowler after hitting the pads. Raghu makes no mistake with the return catch! Raghu brings out a piece of paper, some celebration this!

Akshat Raghuwanshi c & b Sharma 11 (7)

LSG: 160/5 (12.1)

Rishabh Pant departs! A brisk knock comes to an end. It was floated outside off and on a length; Pant went for a powerful flick but only managed a faint edge back to the keeper. An easy catch for the man behind the stumps. A muted reaction from Sanjiv Goenka in the stands says it all-Pant will be disappointed to have wasted yet another promising start.
Rishabh Pant c †Rickelton b Jacks 15 (10)
LSG: 148/4 (10.4)

Pant goes down on one knee and swivels this over deep fine leg! Length delivery drifting down the leg side and Pant nails the perfect scoop despite falling over.
LSG: 145/3 (10.1)

Pant survives but Marsh holes out! Two wickets in five balls for Bosch! He has been off the strike for a while. Another short ball does the trick for Bosch as Marsh fails to get the desired power on this pull. 

Mitchell Marsh c Naman Dhir b Bosch 44 (25)

LSG: 125/3 (8.5)

Bosch strikes! Pooran's adventure comes to an end. Pooran dominated short balls all day, but this one climbs much higher. Went for the pull but gloves it behind to the keeper. Easy catch for Rickelton!

Nicholas Pooran c Rickelton b Bosch 63 (21)

LSG: 123/2 (8.1)

A 16-ball half-century for Pooran! His first of the season. Gets there with his 7th six of the night. LSG are on the charge. Sanjiv Goenka looks elated to say the least. A standing ovation from the LSG owner for Pooran!

LSG: 112/1 (7.1)

Pooran is looking in serious touch tonight! He is making things happen for LSG in the powerplay. It's 90/1 after six! 19 runs off that Ghazanfar over. This is the best-ever Powerplay score of LSG in IPL. 

Pooran joins the part! Three sixes in five balls for the returning Nicky P! Jacks completely missing his line and length! This is an explosive start from LSG! MI need some inspiration from here!

LSG: 71/1 (5)

That's an expensive over! Marsh is well and truly on the charge for LSG! 21 off that Bumrah over and LSG are 51/1 with two overs left in the Powerplay. Marsh has raced to an 17-ball 32.

This is easy pickings from Marsh! He read the cutter from Bumrah and hammered it over long-on for six. That lands in the second tier! Some start this from Marsh!

LSG: 40/1 (3.3)

Strong response from Ghazanfar! MI get the breakthrough and it's Inglis who holes out, trying to go too hard at Ghazanfar. Mistimed pull finds Suryakumar at mid-on. Wicket after back-to-back boundaries.

Josh Inglis c Yadav b Ghazanfar 13 (5)

LSG: 29/1 (2.3)

Short from Ghazanfar and Inglis punishesh him! Moves slightly towards the leg side and pull it towards deep midwicket for a four. Great shot!
LSG: 25/0 (2.1)

Flicked off the pads! Slightly short from Burmrah. The LSG debutant opens his stance up and finds his back leg on off.  Beats the man at deep square leg
LSG: 16/0 (1.2)

Marsh is off the mark in style! Banged in short, and the Bison pulls powerfully over midwicket by shifting his weight back. Can't bowl to him there!

LSG: 6/0 (0.2)

LSG batting-first XI: Mitch Marsh, Josh Inglis, Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant (c, wk), Akshat Raghuvanshi, Himmat Singh, Mohammed Shami, Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav

"One thing we always found out, it's been a tough season for us and there is no running away from that, but one person for us has the most difficult time was our owner Mr. Goenka, he's one of that guy. Everyone knows how passionate he is about cricket and about his team. But at the same time we let down our fans down. The only promise is from this break is, we're gonna give our 200%, try to bring that happiness back and hopefully we can do it for our owner and the fans for sure," Pant said at the toss.

Rohit Sharma is back for MI in this must-win game. With Hardik Pandya unwell, stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav wins the toss and opts to bowl. Josh Inglis is making his debut for LSG after missing the first eight matches due to personal commitments. Three changes for both the teams.

Since LSG entered the fray in 2022, they've been Mumbai's ultimate 'bogey team.' In eight meetings, the Super Giants have emerged victorious on six occasions. It's a staggering 75% win rate against the most successful franchise in IPL history-a record very few teams can claim!

Rohit Sharma took a fitness test on the eve of the match and also batted in the nets briefly. If he's available, it will be a big boost for MI, even though their qualification hopes seem to have all but evaporated. 

As the suspense around Rohit Sharma's participation grows, there is some good news in the LSG camp, as Josh Inglis is all set to play his first game of the season. The Australian missed the first eight matches of the season due to personal commitments.

Hello and welcome to our live blog of the IPL 2026 clash between the Mumbai Indians and the Lucknow Super Giants. It's 9th vs 10th at the Wankhede, and both teams have only a slim chance of playoff qualification.
