The MI vs LSG head to head record has gone through three distinct phases.Lucknow made an immediate impact after entering the IPL in 2022, winning both of its first meetings with Mumbai. KL Rahul two unbeaten centuries were the standout feature of those games, while LSG bowling attack successfully defended totals of 199 and 168.
The 2023 season produced the first major swing in the rivalry. LSG won the league-stage meeting at Ekana by five runs, with Marcus Stoinis scoring 89* and Ravi Bishnoi taking two wickets.Mumbai then responded in the Eliminator at Chennai, restricting LSG to 101 all out and winning by 81 runs. Akash Madhwal 5/5 remains the most memorable bowling performance in this fixture.
Lucknow regained control in 2024 by winning both regular-season encounters. The first was a low-scoring six-wicket chase at Ekana, while the second was an 18-run victory at Wankhede after LSG posted 214/6.
Mumbai then won the Wankhede meeting in 2025 by 54 runs and followed that with another victory at the same venue in 2026. As a result, the historical record remains in LSG favour, but Mumbai have added three wins to the rivalry since their first six matches against Lucknow produced five LSG victories and one MI victory.
Last Four MI vs LSG Meetings
The recent head-to-head record deserves separate attention because it tells a different story from the overall 6-3 tally.
| Season | Venue | Winner | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Ekana Stadium | LSG | 12 runs |
| 2025 | Wankhede Stadium | MI | 54 runs |
| 2026 | Wankhede Stadium | MI | 6 wickets |
There were only three completed meetings across the 2025 and 2026 seasons because the teams did not meet twice in IPL 2026. The latest two meetings at Wankhede went Mumbai way. In 2025, MI defended 215/7 and bowled LSG out for 161; a year later, MI chased 229 with eight balls remaining.
This also produced the first time Mumbai had won consecutive matches against Lucknow in the IPL.
Biggest MI Win vs LSG
Mumbai biggest win against Lucknow remains the 81-run victory in the 2023 Eliminator.
MI scored 182/8 after Cameron Green and Suryakumar Yadav contributed to the innings, before their bowlers dismantled the LSG chase. Akash Madhwal finished with extraordinary figures of 5/5 from 3.3 overs, while Lucknow collapsed to 101 all out.
The result is particularly significant because it came in a knockout match rather than a league fixture. It is also the only playoff meeting between these two franchises so far.
Biggest LSG Win vs MI
Lucknow largest victory by runs came in their second meeting, at Wankhede Stadium in April 2022.
LSG scored 168/6, led by another unbeaten 103 from KL Rahul. Mumbai finished on 132/8, giving Lucknow a 36-run victory. KL Rahul century made the result even more notable because it was his second hundred against MI in the opening two meetings between the teams.
MI vs LSG: Most Runs in the Rivalry
KL Rahul remains the leading run-scorer in the fixture despite no longer representing Lucknow. He accumulated 289 runs in four innings, including two unbeaten hundreds in IPL 2022. His average of 144.50 against MI is built on the fact that he was dismissed only twice in those four innings.
Marcus Stoinis is next among LSG batters with 229 runs. His unbeaten 89 in the 2023 league-stage match is still his highest score against Mumbai.
For Mumbai, Rohit Sharma moved further up the head-to-head charts with his 84 in the 2026 match. Before that innings, he had 177 runs against LSG; his latest contribution took his aggregate to 261. Suryakumar Yadav is also among Mumbai leading scorers in this matchup.
| Player | Team associated with record | Runs |
|---|---|---|
| KL Rahul | LSG | 289 |
| Marcus Stoinis | LSG | 229 |
| Rohit Sharma | MI | 261 |
| Suryakumar Yadav | MI | 227* |

What Makes MI vs LSG Different From a Typical IPL Head-to-Head
Unlike many long-running IPL rivalries, MI vs LSG has a relatively small sample size because Lucknow entered the competition only in 2022. That makes the early results particularly influential on the overall record.
The first six completed meetings created a strong statistical advantage for LSG. However, Mumbai wins in the 2025 and 2026 Wankhede encounters have reduced that gap. The most recent match also demonstrated how quickly the statistical picture can change in a short rivalry: a single game added new records for the highest MI score, highest LSG score and biggest successful chase.
Another clear pattern is the importance of venue. LSG remain unbeaten against MI in their three meetings at Ekana, while the Wankhede record has become even at 2-2 after Mumbai 2025 and 2026 victories.
