Mumbai Indians (MI) will be up against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season. MI is struggling for form as they have lost three games out of four matches that they have played so far. On the other hand, RCB has lost just one game in the three games they have played. RCB's two wins have come in away fixtures against KKR and CSK, and that should stand them in good stead when they take on MI at the Wankhede Stadium.
RCB has all bases covered, barring the spin department. However, Wankhede's surface is not known to assist spinners so much, and that should give RCB massive relief as they look to get their third win. Undoubtedly, batting is their biggest strength, and the likes of Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Liam Livingstone would look to take on MI bowlers.
Also, RCB's few players, like Krunal Pandya, Tim David, and Romario Shepherd, have played for MI in the past. The trio's advice on the pitches at Wankhede will be of massive help to RCB.
