MI vs RCB Prediction: In today’s high-stakes IPL 2025 encounter, the Mumbai Indians will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai’s home field, will host this game. Mumbai, lead by Hardik Pandya, would hope to end their dismal run as they have only won one game thus far. Rajat Patidar’s RCB, on the other side, will be hoping for a turnaround after losing to the Gujarat Titans in their most recent game despite having a strong start to the season.
Report on the Pitch
The batsmen will benefit from Wankhede Stadium’s pitch. A high score is expected in this encounter because of the small boundaries and red mud. Due to the probability of dew in the second innings, the team that wins the toss would prefer to bowl first. Both clubs are capable of scoring more than 200 runs in such a scenario.
Update on the Weather
According to the Meteorological Department, the game will begin with a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and end with a temperature of 30 degrees. The humidity is expected to be between 36% and 57% during the game. The sky will be clear and there is little chance of rain.
Mumbai needs to win
To restart their campaign, MI will need to record a victory. Jasprit Bumrah joined the Mumbai Indians, which was wonderful news before the crucial game against RCB. The NCA has issued him a fitness certificate. When the squad plays RCB, Rohit Sharma can make a comeback to the starting lineup. Due to an injury, Rohit missed the game versus LSG. However, with two victories and one defeat, RCB is making their way to Wankhede.
They had to lose to Gujarat Titans in a high-scoring game in Bangalore. With 574 runs at an average of 44.15 in 18 games at Wankhede, Virat Kohli has an impressive record. Tim David and Jitesh Sharma bolster the middle order, while English all-rounder Liam Livingstone has returned to his best form, scoring 54 runs against Gujarat.
