MI vs LSG Highlights, IPL 2026: Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton fifties power MI to six-wicket win over LSG

Welcome back for MI's reply with the bat. Rohit Sharma descends the famous Wankhede stairs to a roaring reception as MI's Impact Player for the chase. The in-form Ryan Rickelton accompanies him to the crease. LSG also use their Impact Sub option as Mitchell Marsh is subbed out, making way for the left-arm spinner, Manimaran Siddharth. And for Mumbai, it's a Sharma swap as Rohit replaces Raghu. As usual, it will be Mohammad Shami to take the new ball for the Super Giants. A slip in place and Rickelton to face. Here we go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

A huge task ahead - There is no doubt that Wankhede has been a batter's safe haven, with teams batting first failing to cross the 200-run mark only once at this venue. But even targets in the 230-250 territory haven't been safe in this season here. The hosts did manage to chase down a similar target against KKR at home, and would need a similar kind of performance here as well in this must-win game. But given MI's batting inconsistencies this year, and LSG's pace attack being economical upfront, it sets up to be a delicious battle in the run chase. Stick around.

Good comeback in the second half - However, it was Corbin Bosch who proved to be the point of difference, fishing out both Marsh and Pooran in the same over to reduce LSG from 123/1 to 125/3. LSG needed their skipper Pant to step up and take responsibility but that did not happen, and a further wicket of debutant Akshat left them reeling at 160/5. Despite that slide, LSG's run rate stayed above 12 and Aiden Markram and Himmat Singh allied together to consolidate with an unbeaten 68-run partnership, though they would admit they could not land the killer blows in the final overs.

Marsh, Pooran put MI to the sword - LSG's new opening pair of Inglis and Marsh was broken up inside the Powerplay by Ghazanfar, but Marsh refused to let the side slip into a defensive shell. He found an aggressive ally in Nicholas Pooran and the two made full use of anything in the slot, plundering 100 in the seventh over. The assault completely knocked MI's bowlers off their lengths, with the stumps rarely threatened as the bowlers found themselves chasing the batters around the park. Pooran rediscovered his touch with a blazing half century, and was looking for a big one.

15-20 runs short? That's what LSG might be thinking, given the way they started off in the first half, but they still managed to post their highest total this season. Mumbai Indians have managed to pull things back really nicely in the last 3 overs, conceding just 22 runs. And you never know, on a batting paradise like this, with dew expected to come later on, that might prove to be the difference. However, for MI, their bowling attack has come under the scanner once again, with Bumrah going wicketless and expensive again. He could have got one or maybe two wickets, but overstepping cost him dearly.

Deepak Chahar to Himmat Singh, WIDE! Fuller one and keeps the line wide outside off, Himmat Singh gets down and across to swipe it away but misses. Not given as a wide, but Singh takes the review here.
