Mumbai is currently standing at the bottom of the points table of IPL 2022 and they are the only side this season who haven’t won a single game so far.
This will be an important game for Mumbai Indians and they need a win to stay alive in the competition.

In reply, despite a quickfire 38-run knock from Marcus Stoinis, LSG managed to reach 162-8 and lost the game by just 3 runs.
Quinton de knock also scored 39 runs but losing so many quick wickets in the middle overs costs them the match.

Jeetbig Star bowler of the match
Ravi Bishnoi is having a brilliant season with the ball.
He is not only picking wickets but also blocking the runs in the middle-overs. He will be our jeetbig star bowler of the match.
Jeetbig Star batsman of the match
The LSG skipper KL Rahul has been the Mr. Consistent of the IPL with the bat in the last couple of years.
He is once again looking in great touch this season and scoring runs for his side. Kl Rahul will be the highest run-scorer of this match.
Jeetbig star Wicketkeeper of the match
Quinton de Kock is amongst the best wicketkeepers in the world right now and he is the key player for Lucknow at the top this season.
De Kock is quite sharp behind the stumps and he will be our star Wicketkeeper of the match.
Jeetbig star all-rounder of the match
Jason Holder is an excellent wicket-taking bowler who can bowl with both new and old balls.
Holder is also a quite handy power hitter and he can hit the ball out of the park in the death overs.
He is expected to shine with both bat and bowl today.
Who will win?
Lucknow Super Giants is looking a very well-balanced and in-form side.
They have a very strong batting lineup and the bowling department is also excellent.
LSG have many match-winners in their playing 11 who can win any game for them on their day.
The team combination of Lucknow is also better than Mumbai Indians.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are struggling in every department and they are unable to pick a strong and balanced playing 11.
We have seen some good individual performances from their side but now they need a combined team effort to make a comeback into this competition now.
Hence, our prediction for match 26 is that Lucknow Super Giants will beat Mumbai Indians.
