MI vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis Match 20 of the IPL 2025 sees Mumbai Indians (MI) hosting Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Wankhede this Monday. Itโs been a bumpy ride for Mumbai so farโthree tough losses and just one solid win at home. RCB kicked things off strongly with two convincing victories, but their momentum took a hit after a big loss to Gujarat Titans. Can Mumbai find their rhythm again, or will RCB bounce back and hand them another defeat? TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview Itโs been a bumpy IPL season so far for Mumbai Indians. Theyโve picked up just one win at home, while losing all three away matches. Their only real high point was the win over KKR at Wankhede, but away from home, theyโve been poor. In the last match, they fell short by 12 runs chasing 204 against LSG. Their top order hasnโt fired consistently. Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton have had their moments but havenโt done enough. Rohit Sharma missed the last game and hasnโt been in great rhythm lately, so expectations from him arenโt high at this stage. Tilak Varma couldnโt find the boundary at the right time in their last match, and that slow patch proved costly. But the Wankhede should suit his game better, and he might come good here. Suryakumar Yadav, on the other hand, has been excellentโ171 runs in four innings, averaging 57 and a strike rate over 160. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru got off to a strong start with away wins over KKR and CSK. But things took a turn when they played at home for the first time this season, going down to Gujarat Titans. RCB batted first at the batting-friendly M. Chinnaswamy Stadium and posted a below-par 169-8. Gujarat had no trouble chasing that, getting there in just 17.2 overs and losing only two wickets. It was a tough outing for RCB, and theyโll want to shake it off quickly and get back in the groove. The top order is clicking well. Virat Kohli, Philip Salt, and Rajat Patidar have all looked solid. Patidar has chipped in twice already, and Salt should enjoy the surface at the Wankhedeโexpect him to go hard from the start and get a quickfire 25-30 runs. Kohli loves playing here too, averaging over 40 with five fifties at a strike rate of 136. After a couple of quiet outings, heโll be keen to make it count. Liam Livingstone, who hadnโt done much in the first two games, found his rhythm with a 54 off 40 against GTโthe highest score for RCB that day. Further down, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David are reliable for late-over firepower. David was especially impressive in the last match, hammering 32* off just 18 and proving he can do real damage. Weather Conditions The Wankhede track is generally flat and run-friendly. Still, expect some movement for pacers under lights, especially in the opening overs with the new ball. Once batters weather this challenging start, run-scoring becomes much easier. Spin bowlers typically find little assistance here with minimal turn available. The pitch should be hard and firm, making life difficult for slower bowlers. Expect extremely sticky and warm conditions in Mumbai, though rain won’t be a factor during the match. MI vs RCB Pitch Report The Wankhede Stadium usually sees first-innings scores averaging 170. RCB holds the IPL record here with 235-1 against MI in 2015. Last season alone, four matches produced totals exceeding 200, including Mumbai Indians’ massive 234-5 versus Delhi Capitals. Considering how runs flow at this stadium, both teams will likely aim for 190-200 to feel comfortable about their chances. Toss: To Bowl The numbers favor chasing at Wankhede Stadium, with teams batting second winning 65 T20 matches compared to 54 victories for teams setting targets. This trend comes from a total of 119 T20 games played at the venue.
