Mumbai Indians Vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Overview

Mumbai has only won one of their first four games, and they are currently battling at No. 8 on the points table. Their last match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium ended in a heartbreaking 12-run loss. Hardik Pandya and his team would like to win on Monday to restart their campaign. Before the final game, Rohit Sharma suffered an injury and had to miss it.

In the meantime, RCB defeated Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders back-to-back to start their campaign. However, their first home game against the Gujarat Titans ended their brief winning streak. They suffered an eight-wicket defeat. Against a rusty Mumbai, the Rajat Patidar-led team will try to resume winning ways at the legendary Wankhede Stadium. 

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report

Due to the red soil pitch’s constant bounce, batters can confidently execute their shots quickly. Both teams are likely to score a lot when the boundaries are short. Given the dew factor later in the match, which could make it harder for spinners to hold the ball, the team that wins the toss will most likely choose to field first in the Mumbai vs. Bengaluru match.

The opening batters will need to think twice as the new ball swings around. Given the venue’s short boundaries and quick outfield, it shouldn’t be too hard for the batters to change gears if they can settle into the crease. With 119 games played, the average IPL first-inning score at Wankhede Stadium is 171. Batting first teams have won 53 games, compared to 65 victories for chasing teams.
