Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) failed to win their first home game at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in IPL 2025. Gujarat Titans (GT) defeated them by eight wickets. This was RCB’s first loss of the season after two wins.
They are currently third in the points table with four points and a net run rate of +1.149. Now, they will aim to bounce back when they face Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 7 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Opponent and match details
MI are currently in fifth place with two points from three games and a net run rate of +0.309. After losing their first two matches, they bounced back with a dominant win over defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Mumbai. Now, they will look to continue their winning momentum at home against RCB.
For MI, both Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav performed well with the bat whiel chasing vs KKR. However, it was their pacers who stole the show. Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar impressed with the new ball, while young Punjab bowler Ashwani Kumar grabbed headlines with a four-wicket haul.
It remains to be seen whether they can continue their good form against RCB in the upcoming match.
