IPL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Match 25 | Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru – Will RCB avoid a 4th straight defeat of the season by defeating MI? | April 11, 2024

Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Analysis

We will be analyzing the Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Prediction for the IPL 2024. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians will square off in the 25th Match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Thursday night at the Wankhede Stadium.

In the competition, both teams have only won one match thus far, with Mumbai defeating Delhi Capitals in their most recent encounter. Conversely, RCB hasn’t triumphed since Match 6. On Thursday, April 11, at 19:30 local time, this match begins.

Mumbai Indians’ season finally got underway in a thrilling match against Delhi Capitals owing to some outstanding individual performances with the bat and ball. But the side still has a lot more to offer, therefore we anticipate seeing another impressive performance at this encounter.

Despite Virat Kohli’s outstanding play, RCB has already dropped four matches in the 2024 IPL. They have a costly bowling attack, and they will have a difficult task ahead of them in this game against a potent batting lineup.

Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Team Preview & Squads

Mumbai Indians

Against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in their most recent encounter, Hardik Pandya’s team at last showed some maturity. The five-time title winners had dropped their opening three matches, but their batting order performed admirably as they prevailed by 29 runs in a high-scoring match. They don’t have the best record versus RCB, thus a win will boost Pandya’s record as well as their position in the standings.  

After an 80-run partnership in the previous game, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma will try to exploit RCB’s meek bowling attack. Suryakumar Yadav aims to establish alliances with Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya to fortify the middle order. In the final game, Tim David and Romario Shephard combined for a winning partnership that completed the team’s potent batting lineup.  

The bowling attack is still lacking in coherence. The team is hoping that Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah, who are the new ball pair, will perform as well as they did in their previous match. In the middle overs, Romario Shephard and Akash Madhwal needed to perform well. Given that RCB has strong players, the team hopes Piyush Chawla and Mohammad Nabi perform well in supporting roles.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

With just one victory and four losses, Faf du Plessis’ team is in dire need of improvement. In their last game, they were doubtful about their batting and bowling statistics and lost by six wickets against the Rajasthan Royals. In this match, du Plessis wants his teammates to mount a formidable comeback because the team is facing a certain defeat. They will try to build on their excellent record against the Mumbai Indians.

Even if he scored a century in the previous encounter, Virat Kohli needs to up his strike rate and perform better when Faf du Plessis is at the top of the order. The side has been greatly hindered by their middle order, and they require improved work from Glenn Maxwell, Saurav Chauhan, and Cameron Green. In the last overs, Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik had to carry most of the load.

The team anticipates a stronger performance from Yash Dayal and Reece Topley with the new ball after the bowling attack looked inept in the previous match. In the middle overs, Mohammad Siraj and Mayank Dagar need to bowl more tightly. Himanshu Sharma and Cameron Green will also need to perform well in their supporting roles for the team to succeed.
