IPL 2025, Match 20: Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Preview
The Wankhede Stadium will host another big rivalry match between the Mumbai Indians and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 7.
The time has come for another epic rivalry as it is now the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) who will be going head-to-head in the upcoming game on April 7, which will be taking place at the Wankhede Stadium.
This is an essential game for the Mumbai franchise, which has not started its season well. The boys in blue have so far only won one game this season in the four they have played so far, and will want to finally find some form and consistency starting from this game itself. Hardik Pandya and his boys won their last home game convincingly and would want to repeat the same performance.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), on the other hand, started their season very well, and though they will be disappointed after the last game against the Titans, they will still be more confident going into the game with two wins and only one loss so far. The side led by Rajat Patidar will want to get back to winning ways in this match, especially against one of their biggest rivals in the game.

Pitch Report
The last match at the Wankhede was a perfect example of a surface that gets better for batters as the game progresses. Though there was some initial seam movement and bounce at the start, the ball seemed to have been coming onto the bat well. This has always been a great chasing ground, and the decision for the team will probably be to field first and restrict the team to a modest total.
