MI vs RCB Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report:
The team that wins the toss in the Mumbai vs Bengaluru game will look to bowl first, taking into account the role that dew might play in the latter stage of the match, with spinners finding it difficult to grip the ball
If we talk about the record of the matches played at the Wankhede Stadium during the previous IPL seasons, the team batting first has won 54 matches, whereas the chasing team has won 65 games.
Being a red soil wicket, the batters can trust the bounce of the pitch and can play their short right from the start. We can expect a run-fest with batters from both sides targeting the short boundaries.
The surface used for the only game played at Wankhede stadium in IPL 2025 saw KKR getting bowled out for less than 150, which did not reflect the true nature of the wicket, which was a good batting wicket with assistance for both spinners and fast bowlers.

It will be a battle between the batting lineups of two teams who have the reputation of decimating the opposition's bowling attacks with their aggressive batting display

The lowest score defended at this is 118, a feat that was achieved by SRH against MI in 2018, which suggests that bowlers can also fancy their chances against the attacking approach of batters, which is a silver lining in a match that is expected to be dominated by the batters

For MI match against RCB provides a chance to register their second game of the ongoing IPL edition and get the much-needed momentum for the upcoming matches, along with two crucial points
