RCB vs MI 20th IPL Match: The 20th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will be played between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI) on Monday, 7th April. This exciting face-off will take place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, known for high-scoring thrillers.
RCB had a rough start to the season, and after some close games, they’re still finding the right combination. The top order is loaded with experience — Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, and Devdutt Padikkal — but the middle order hasn’t clicked consistently. New captain Rajat Patidar will aim to inspire a turnaround.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians, led by Hardik Pandya, are looking sharp. They’ve had strong performances from Suryakumar Yadav and Will Jacks, while their bowling lineup is among the best in the tournament, especially with Jasprit Bumrah as an Impact Player.
RCB will need a strong all-round performance to challenge the five-time champions on their home turf.

Jasprit Bumrah: MI's most dangerous bowler, reserved as an Impact Sub to be unleashed based on match situations — usually during crucial second innings.

Head-to-head: Mumbai Indians have historically dominated RCB in the IPL, winning 19 of their 33 encounters. However, RCB has been more competitive in recent years.
Venue Advantage: Wankhede is MI’s fortress. The pitch is known for assisting batsmen early and pacers under lights. MI’s pace-heavy bowling unit and explosive middle-order batters are tailor-made for this venue.
Mumbai Indians are likely to have the upper hand in this match due to home advantage, a more balanced bowling unit, and strong form. However, if RCB’s top order — especially Kohli and Padikkal — fire, and Hazlewood finds his rhythm, an upset could be on the cards.
