Mumbai Indians will square off against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 25th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday. While Mumbai has managed a solitary win out of the four matches they have played, Bengaluru has also won a single game out of their five.
We take a look at the head-to-head battle, Players to watch out for, and Squads of both teams in our match preview.
Mumbai Indians: W L L L
Mumbai Indians got off to a horrid start but a win in their last game against Delhi Capitals must have given them a shot in the arm. They came up with a collective batting performance with Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Tim David, and Romario Shepherd scoring runs.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: L L L W L
RCB has lost their last three matches, which is never a promising sign. The star-studded batting unit has been over-reliant on Virat Kohli’s shoulders and Andy Flower will hope that the likes of Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Cameron Green come to the party sooner than later.
