RCB Vs MI, Match Prediction, IPL 2026: Who Will Win Today's Game In Raipur?

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in Raipur. The defending champions have hit a snag after a brilliant start to the IPL 2026 season. Rajat Patidar-led side have lost Phil Salt through injury and his replacement, Jacob Bethell has yet to fire all cylinders.

RCB will be hoping their star pacer Josh Hazlewood, returns to form. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been superb with the ball but other bowlers around him have not been upto the mark. Jitesh Sharma's form has also been a concern.

Meanwhile for MI, their team have been really struggling this season. As per reports, Suryakumar Yadav's inclusion remains a doubt. Hardik Pandya's availability also remains doubtful given his injury.

MI's star pacer Jasprit Bumrah looks out of form this season but Rohit Sharma's batting has been a positive sign for the five-time champions.
