The recent form of RCB is better than Mumbai Indians, winning three matches out of their last five matches. However Mumbai have a better squad but they are lacking to perform in the crucial moments of matches. RCB is also coming off a loss against Gujarat Titans in the last match so, both teams need a win in this match.
Being one of the oldest grounds of India and the home of one of the most successful teams of IPL, Wankhede Stadium has hosted a total of 119 matches in IPL. In 119 matches, the chasing team has been more successful, winning 63 matches. The average first innings score of 170 runs justifies the batting friendly nature of the pitch with short boundaries.
Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have played 33 matches against each other in the IPL. Mumbai Indians have won 19 of those, while Royal Challengers have won 14. There have been no ties or no results. Mumbai have a slight edge in this rivalry based on past results.

Livingstone has scored only 4 runs from 10 balls against Boult. He has never been out but hasn’t hit any four or six. His strike rate is 40. Boult always kept things tight against Liam Livingstone. This battle will be a good one to watch however Boult might only get one over to bowl against Liam Livingstone.
Hardik Pandya has an average of 45.57 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru which is his second best after Rajasthan Royals, scoring 319 runs in just 16 innings. Hardik’s bowling record against RCB is average but he is in great form with the ball in hand this season.
Suryakumar Yadav has an average of 36.69 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru scoring 477 runs in 18 innings. His match winning inning of 83 runs against RCB is a memorable one in Wankhede. Surya has four half centuries against RCB in IPL. Suryakumar also holds an average of 39.64 on Wankhede Stadium making him a great pick for this match.
Virat Kohli loves playing against Mumbai Indians scoring 855 runs in 32 innings against Mumbai Indians. Virat holds an average of 30.54 against MI and an average of 45.08 at Wankhede Stadium making him a vital pick for this match. He is also in great form this year in both IPL and International circuit.
Josh Hazlewood is a brilliant powerplay bowler who can get the ball nibble around on Wankhede’s pitch in the early overs to disturb MI’s openers. Hazlewood has an strike-rate of 12.86 at Wankhede, picking up seven wickets in just four games.
Ryan Rickelton is a brilliant opener who plays pure cricketing shots but he is a batter who loves the pitches with pace and bounce being a South African. Ryan loved batting on Wankhede in the last match scoring 62* runs in the last match. He will be an important player if he can play out the threat of Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwer Kumar in the powerplay.
Rajat Patidar has just played two matches against Mumbai Indians in the IPL history, scoring 58 runs with a highest score of 50. Rajat is a good player of spin and he can dominate Mumbai Indians spinners using the short boundary advantage to his side.
Satyanarayana Raju and Manoj Bhandage are impact players for their respective teams and will not get a chance to play in this match. You can avoid these plates in your Dream11 Team. Don’t take these players for even grand leagues as they will not contribute in this match by any means.
