The Indian Premier League (IPL) will be played between Mumbai Indians (Mi) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2025. The match will start from 7:30 pm at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In this high-voltage match, there will be a direct competition between two legendary players Jaspreet Bumrah and Virat Kohli. Mi’s head coach Mahela Jayawardene has indicated that Bumrah may enter this match.
Mumbai’s weak start
Mumbai Indians have lost three of the four matches so far and have won only one match. Talking about the batting order, the team’s performance has still been disappointing. Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Ricelton have been able to score half -centuries so far. Captain Rohit Sharma could not play the previous match due to injury and Tilak Verma has also failed to convert a good start into a big score.
Doubt on Rohit Sharma’s fitness
The situation regarding Rohit Sharma’s fitness is not clear. If they are not available for today’s match, Mumbai’s batting can once again be under pressure. Suryakumar Yadav is currently expected by the team by scoring 177 runs in four matches, but it is necessary to get the support of other batsmen.
Relief news for Mumbai: Bumrah’s return
The relief for Mumbai Indians is that fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has joined the team. However, it is yet to be seen whether they are fully fit for bowling. The Mi had registered its only win against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium, and the team would try to repeat the same performance.
RCB’s confidence and batting order
The RCB team is currently full of confidence. Another powerful innings is expected from Virat Kohli, who has scored 59 against KKR. The pair of Phil Salat and Devdutt Padikkal may give a fast start to the team. The middle order also features explosive batsmen like silver Patidar and Lower Order, who can destroy any bowling attack.
Mi’s record against RCB in Wankhede
The Mumbai Indians record at the Wankhede Stadium has been good against RCB. There have been a total of 12 matches between the two teams, in which Mi has won 9 and RCB has won 3 matches. However, in the last five face-to-face matches, RCB has defeated Mi thrice, while Mi has won twice.
Head-to-head data
In IPL history, Mi and RCB have come face to face 33 times so far. In this, Mi won 19 and RCB has won 14 matches. However, RCB has been heavy in recent matches.
RCB fans expectations
The fans of RCB are once again on Virat Kohli. A faster start is expected from Phil Salt with Kohli. Silver Patidar in middle order and Tim David in lower order can raise hopes of big scores. The team is depth in batting and will try to take advantage of Mumbai’s weak bowling.
