RCB, who are playing their first match in the new home ground for two matches, head into this contest on the back of a narrow nine-run defeat to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), marking their second consecutive loss. Despite back to back losses, they are currently placed at fourth place on the points table, thanks to a superior net run rate. However, another slip-up could put their top-four position under threat as other teams are performing well.
On the other side, the five-time champions Mumbai Indians come into the game with renewed confidence after securing their third win of the season. They defeated Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets in a high-scoring encounter. They are currently placed at ninth position with six points in ten matches, and it will be a do or die game for the team, as if they lose against RCB, then they will become the first team to get eliminated.
