Mumbai Indians (MI) will be desperate to rediscover their winning touch when they take on a confident Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a high-octane IPL 2025 clash at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.
With just one win from four games, the five-time champions are under pressure to turn things around quickly, especially with their top order misfiring. Only Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton have managed to score fifties so far, underlining the inconsistency that has plagued their campaign.
RCB, on the other hand, come into this encounter with greater momentum and a more settled unit. Despite a recent loss to Gujarat Titans, they are sitting third on the points table and will look to bounce back strongly against a struggling MI outfit. With a pitch expected to favour the batters and the dew factor likely to come into play later, both sides will be eager to make the most of conditions at the Wankhede.
