MI vs LSG Match 47 Dream11 Prediction IPL (4 May 2026)

Two teams. Zero playoff hopes. One stadium that never quiets down.

Mumbai Indians host Lucknow Super Giants at Wankhede on Monday, May 4, in what is, on paper, a dead rubber.

MI is 9th with 4 points. LSG is 10th, dead last, also with 4 points. Both have lost far more than they have won this season.

But for Dream11 players, dead rubbers at Wankhede are gold. The pitch is flat. Boundaries are short.

Dew arrives late. And batters who have nothing to lose tend to swing hard.

Here is everything you need to build your MI vs LSG Match 47 Dream11 prediction team.

MI vs LSG Match 47 Details:

Wankhede Pitch Report

This match is on Pitch No. 4 at Wankhede. That pitch was last used when PBKS chased 195 in just 17.3 overs, 21 balls to spare. That tells you most of what you need to know.

Short square boundaries. Fast outfield. The ball travels. True bounce means batters do not have to guess.

And as humidity hits 72%, dew settles in the second half of the chase, making the ball slippery and harder to grip for bowlers.

Expected first innings total: 185 to 210. Anything under 180 gets chased comfortably under dew.

Toss call: Bowl first. Chasing is the smart play here.

Weather Forecast

Clear skies. Temperature around 30 to 35°C. No rain, 0% chance.

Humidity at 72% means dew will be a factor from around the 15th over of the chase.

Plan your fantasy team accordingly — pace bowlers who bowl upfront are safer picks than death specialists.

MI vs LSG Match 47 Toss Prediction

Both captains will want to bowl first if they win the toss. Dew flattens the pitch further in the second innings.

• If Hardik Pandya wins: He will bowl. Jasprit Bumrah opens. Bumrah has dismissed Rishabh Pant seven times in IPL history. Trent Boult adds left-arm swing. Allah Ghazanfar (11 wickets) and Will Jacks handle the middle overs. MI will then back Ryan Rickelton and Tilak Varma to lead the chase.
• If Rishabh Pant wins: He will bowl too. Mohammed Shami (economy 6.89 in powerplay, best in IPL this season) and Mohsin Khan (9 wickets, economy 6.38) hit early. Prince Yadav handles the batting core. LSG then relies on Aiden Markram, Pant, and Mitchell Marsh to get the job done under dew.

Injury and Squad News

• Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma took a fitness test. He may return either as an opener or an Impact Player. His inclusion would be a big deal for both the batting order and Dream11 selection.
• Lucknow Super Giants: Josh Inglis may make his IPL debut. Anrich Nortje remains unavailable. Wanindu Hasaranga is out for the season.

MI vs LSG Dream11 Top Picks

Suggested Dream11 Team (Small League)

• Wicketkeeper: Ryan Rickelton
• Batters: Aiden Markram, Tilak Varma, Rishabh Pant
• All-rounders: Will Jacks, Mitchell Marsh
• Bowlers: Prince Yadav (C), Mohsin Khan (VC), Jasprit Bumrah, Allah Ghazanfar, Mohammed Shami

Note: If Rohit Sharma is confirmed in the playing XI, he comes in ahead of Rishabh Pant or Mitchell Marsh, depending on your risk appetite.

Suggested Dream11 Team (Grand League)

• Wicketkeeper: Ryan Rickelton
• Batters: Aiden Markram, Tilak Varma, Mitchell Marsh
• All-rounders: Will Jacks, Hardik Pandya
• Bowlers: Mohsin Khan (C), Prince Yadav (VC), Jasprit Bumrah, Allah Ghazanfar, Mohammed Shami
• GL logic: Mohsin Khan as captain is a differential. He is in form, cheap in credits, and largely ignored by casual players. Mohsin vs MI at a dew-heavy Wankhede is a good gamble for GL formats.

Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

• Safe captain: Ryan Rickelton. In form, at home, good matchup against LSG’s bowling.
• Safe VC: Aiden Markram. LSG’s top scorer all season. Wankhede suits his game.
• GL differential captain: Prince Yadav. 13 wickets means he takes wickets consistently. MI have been bowled out for 104 this season. There is a form here.
• GL differential VC: Mohsin Khan. Economy of 6.38 across 4 matches is elite for this format.

MI vs LSG H2H Record

MI holds a 6-2 head-to-head record over LSG in IPL history. MI have won both home fixtures against LSG at Wankhede. History favours the hosts, though neither team has shown convincing form this season.

FAQs

• Q: Who should be my Dream11 captain for MI vs LSG Match 47?

Ryan Rickelton is the safest captain pick. He has scored 260+ runs this season with two centuries. For Grand Leagues, Prince Yadav (13 wickets) is a strong differential.

• Q: Will Rohit Sharma play in MI vs LSG Match 47?

Rohit took a fitness test and may return. Check official team announcements before the 7:30 PM toss. If confirmed, he is worth picking.

• Q: What is the pitch like at Wankhede for this match?

Pitch No. 4. Batting-friendly with short boundaries. PBKS chased 195 here with ease. Dew arrives late, making chasing even easier.

• Q: Who are the best bowler picks for MI vs LSG Dream11?

Jasprit Bumrah and Allah Ghazanfar for MI. Prince Yadav and Mohsin Khan for LSG. All four are in good wicket-taking form.

• Q: Should I pick Rishabh Pant for this match?

Pant has 306 runs this season and a strike rate above 130. At Wankhede under dew, he can be dangerous. He is a viable pick, but be aware that Bumrah has dismissed him seven times in the IPL.

Conclusion:

This is not the most glamorous match of IPL 2026.

But the conditions at Wankhede are as good as it gets for fantasy cricket.

Flat pitch, short boundaries, dew, and two desperate batting line-ups with nothing to protect.

Pick Rickelton. Back, Prince Yadav. Use Mohsin Khan as your GL gamble.

If Rohit is confirmed, reshuffle accordingly.

Good luck for Match 47.
