Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Mumbai Indians, one of the most iconic rivalries in the IPL history is coming to entertain the cricket fanatics in full swing.
A confident Royal Challengers Bangalore led by flamboyant Rajat Patidar will face off against Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians for their first time in the Indian Premier League 2025 in front of MI’s home crowd at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday.
After win in two back-to-back matches, RCB had to taste loss in their recent clash against Gujarat Titans. However, they started their campaign after beating the tournament favourites Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings to get two big away wins before travelling back home.
Under Patidar, Bengaluru look a very solid and able team this season. In Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, they have two world-class Powerplay bowlers who can be very tricky on Mumbai’s solid surface. The batting unit has also been up and running for the Men In Red & Gold. RCB are likely to remain unchanged for the match-up.
Coming to Mumbai Indians, they are yet to find their song in the IPL 2025. Playing 3 matches so far, they managed to clinch a win against Kolkata Knight Riders. Dominating Kolkata wouldn’t be enough. Pandya’s Paltan will be looking to find good form against their next fixtures against Gujarat Titans and then RCB.

MI vs RCB IPL 2025 Pitch Report for Wankhede Stadium
The pitch at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai has traditionally been a high-scoring surface. Recently, former cricketer Robin Uthappa had listed the Wankhede Stadium as one of the five venues hosting IPL games that will possibly see a team scoring 300 runs in a game.
Wankhede Stadium has notoriously small boundaries coupled with red soil surface, so expect the conditions at the iconic stadium where India won the 2011 World Cup to be favourable to the batters. Logic dictates that the team winning the toss will want to field first in the IPL.
