Match Preview Mumbai Indians (MI) will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 20th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match will be played at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on 7 April 2025 at 07:30 PM IST. Mumbai Indians Hardik Pandya-led MI suffered a heavy defeat in their last match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the away game. Former skipper Rohit Sharma missed the previous game due to injury, while Tilak Varma, struggling to score quickly, was retired out and this decision sparked questions about skipper and management. Bumrah has joined the MI camp, but he will not be rushed for this game, which means MI will continue with the same bowling unit in this match. The five-time champions have won just one game out of four in this season, and they will be eyeing a victory against RCB to stay affirm in the race for the playoffs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru RCB, on the other hand, have won two out of three matches in this season. The only defeat so far came in front of their home crowd against Gujarat Titans. Their top-order fell short early, which restricted the side from scoring a huge total on a batting-friendly track at Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, Liam Livingstone and Tim David took their side to respectable total. Their bowlers gave their all, but could not contain the run-flow, eventually ending on the losing side. However, bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood will have their say on Wankhede in the initial overs and they might set the tone for RCB by scalping early wickets of MI.
