RCB to bat first against MI at Wankhede Stadium
Josh Hazlewood missed out against MI
Both teams lost their last match to RR
Mumbai Indians (MI) will lock horns with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the second match of the Sunday double header at the Wankhede Stadium on April 12, 2026.
MI won their first match comprehensively against KKR, chasing down a 221-run target easily with six wickets in hand and 5 balls to spare. However, after that, they lost two consecutive matches away from home against DC and RR.
MI are coming back home for the high-stakes fixture against RCB and will be confident to turn things around at their den. One of the biggest concerns for MI will be their bowling form, which has looked toothless as Bumrah hasn't been able to make an impact in the season so far.
Their bowling relies heavily on Jasprit Bumrah, and if he doesn't pick wickets, then it could get difficult for Mumbai to get over the line against a strong RCB batting.
On the other hand, RCB are the defending champions and started their campaign quite well with wins in their initial two matches. However, the loss in the last match against RR, would leave some unanswered questions for the defending champions in the bowling front.
We are in for a thrilling encounter against two best teams of the tournament in Mumbai.
