The Mumbai Indians in difficulty welcome the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Wankhede stadium in match 20 of the Indian Premier League 2025 on Monday. For MI, the next match against RCB presents a chance to guarantee its second 2025 IPL victory and to take a crucial momentum for the remaining matches. Having played four games so far, they have won one and lost three. Meanwhile, RCB, who won two of his three games, will aim to return to the winning form after their recent defeat against GT in Bengaluru.
With just Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton hitting the 1950s, MI held the unwanted record for the least of semi-centers this season. A lack of solid departures and average failures let them find it difficult to find their pace.
Rohit Sharma, who missed the last match with a knee injury, is still a doubt for this confrontation. His return could change the situation, because Mi needs stability at the top of the order to publish or chase a large score.
The news of Jasprit Bumrah joining the MI camp after receiving authorization from the BCCI medical team at the Center of Excellence in Bengaluru offers a glow of hope for the five -time champions. However, its availability remains uncertain.
RCB, who evolved towards a solid start by beating KKR in the Eden Gardens opener before raping Chepauk to hammer CSK with category, has shown a versatile confrontation so far, in particular with their captain marking the house in the two games before lighting up to a loss of 8 counter-wides against the Gujarat titans in their last match.
RCB’s bowling performance was exceptional, with a great rhythm attack led by Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvnehwar Kumar. However, their spinners have not yet had an impact.
The two teams met 33 times in the history of IPL. MI holds the advantage over RCB by winning 19 games while RCB came out victorious 14 times.
Mi is currently eighth after three defeats in four games, while RCB is second with two wins in three matches.
