Neither the Mumbai Indians nor the Lucknow Super Giants is going to the playoffs.
Both have 4 points. Both sit in the bottom two. The IPL season has not gone to plan for either side.
None of that matters for your MI vs LSG Match 47 Dream11 prediction.
What matters is this: Wankhede, night game, 72% humidity, dew, and a flat pitch that has already seen one team chase 195 in 17 overs this season.

Pitch and Ground Report: Wankhede Stadium
Pitch No. 4 is in play here. The last time this surface was used, Punjab Kings chased down 195 in 17.3 overs with 7 wickets in hand.
That was not a one-off. Wankhede’s short square boundaries and quick outfield make high scores the norm, not the exception.
Dew kicks in from around the 30th over onwards. When the ball gets wet, spinners lose grip and pacers lose reverse swing.
The team batting second gets a cleaner, easier surface.
Expected first innings score: 185 to 210. Anything under 180 should be chased down with comfort.
Weather: Clear Skies, Dew Ahead
No rain in the forecast. Temperature between 30 and 35°C. Humidity sits at 72%, which is what produces dew at Wankhede.
The weather will not stop play, but it will shift the balance toward the chasing side as the night goes on.
MI vs LSG Toss Prediction for Match 47
Both captains will back their side to bowl first. Conditions heavily favour the chase.
- Hardik Pandya wins the toss: MI bowls. Bumrah and Boult open. Allah Ghazanfar and Will Jacks manage the middle overs. The target is to keep LSG under 180, then back Rickelton and Tilak Varma to seal it under dew.
- Rishabh Pant wins the toss: LSG bowl. Mohammed Shami leads the powerplay attack. Mohsin Khan follows. Prince Yadav takes the key middle-over wickets. Then Markram, Marsh, and Pant chase under dew conditions.
Injury and Team News
- MI: Rohit Sharma passed a fitness test and could return as an opener or Impact Player. His availability changes the batting order, so check the playing XI before the toss.
- LSG: Josh Inglis is in line for his first IPL appearance this season. Anrich Nortje remains out. Wanindu Hasaranga is unavailable for the rest of the tournament.

Suggested Dream11 Teams
Small League XI
- WK: 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
Grand League XI
- WK: 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 note: Mohsin Khan as captain is the key differential. He has 9 wickets at an economy of 6.38 in just 4 matches. Most casual players will overlook him in favour of Bumrah or Prince Yadav. That is your edge in grand leagues.
Captain and Vice-Captain Guide
- Safe captain: Ryan Rickelton. Two centuries, a strike rate of 181, and playing at home. Hard to argue against.
- Safe VC: Aiden Markram. Top run-scorer for LSG all season. Clean technique at Wankhede.
- GL captain (differential): Prince Yadav. Left-arm medium at a ground where MI were bowled out for 104 earlier this season. The wickets are there.
- GL VC (differential): Mohsin Khan. 9 wickets in 4 games, dismissed Hardik Pandya twice for a combined 8 runs. Low ownership, high ceiling.
MI vs LSG Head-to-Head Record
MI lead LSG 6-2 in IPL history. Both home fixtures at Wankhede have gone MI’s way. From this season’s points, the other direction, but the head-to-head matters for momentum and crowd support.
FAQs
- Q: Who is the best Dream11 captain pick for MI vs LSG Match 47?
Ryan Rickelton is the safest option. He has over 260 runs this season with two centuries, and plays at his home ground. For Grand Leagues, Mohsin Khan (9 wickets, economy 6.38) is the top differential pick.
- Q: Is Rohit Sharma playing in Match 47?
He has passed a fitness test and is in contention. Check official team announcements before the 7:30 PM toss to confirm his inclusion.
- Q: What is the best batting pick from LSG for Dream11?
Aiden Markram leads LSG’s run charts with 315 runs this season. Rishabh Pant (306 runs, SR 130+) is a strong second option, though Bumrah has his number historically.
- Q: Is Wankhede good for bowlers in Dream11?
Powerplay bowlers perform well. Bumrah, Shami, and Mohsin Khan are reliable early-wicket options. Spinners like Ghazanfar can be effective mid-innings, but dew reduces their effectiveness in the second half of the chase.
- Q: Should I pick Josh Inglis if he debuts?
Inglis is a high-risk pick. If confirmed, he bats in the top three, and his debut game can go either way. Best used as a punt in Grand Leagues rather than a core pick in small leagues.
Conclusion:
Wankhede on a humid Monday night, two teams with nothing to lose. For Dream11, that is a good combination.
Build around Rickelton and Markram in your batting core. Use Prince Yadav as your primary bowling pick.
If you are going for a grand league title, Mohsin Khan as captain is the move most of your competition will not make.
Confirm the playing XI at toss time, especially if Rohit Sharma is named in the MI lineup.
