Mumbai Indians (MI) will look to carry on the winning momentum when they host lowly Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in match 25 of IPL 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday (April 11).
Hardik Pandya opened his account as the captain at MI with victory over Delhi Capitals after a forgetful start to the campaign, having lost three matches in a row, while Faf Du Plessis-led RCB suffered their fourth defeat of the season following the recent loss to Rajasthan Royals.

MI will hope to repeat the result from Sunday (April 7) when they posted their highest total at Wankhede, 234 before restricting DC to 205 in their allotted 20 overs to bag their first win of the campaign.
RCB, on other hand, will look to get back to winning ways after going down to table-toppers RR in Jaipur, where Virat Kohli’s century was overshadowed by Jos Buttler’s hundred, which ensured the home team sealed the run-chase of 184 in the final over.
Now, the two sides come into the match with just 2 points on the IPL 2024 points table when they clash for the 33rd time in IPL history, and for the eleventh time at the home of the five-time champions Mumbai Indians – Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
