So, it’s time for eighth-placed Mumbai Indians to host a team that has been in red-hot form, but did lose their last game, Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2025 match. That’s right. Both teams are coming off defeats in their previous encounters.
Mumbai were beaten by Lucknow at their home ground.
RCB too suffered a heavy defeat in their previous match against GT. The pitch in Bengaluru, usually known to favour batters, played slow on the day, and Mohammed Siraj wreaked havoc against his former team.
Now, both teams are all set, and it’s the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai that will witness them clash in this high-stakes encounter. Take a look at the pitch report ahead of this big clash.
Wankhede pitch report
It’s always a batting-friendly surface, there’s no question that the Wankhede pitch is generally considered to favour batters. It offers good bounce, which also brings fast bowlers into play early on. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to become easier for the batters. So far, a total of 119 IPL matches have been played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, with teams batting first winning 53 of them. Surely, batting second is certainly a good option here.
