Royal Challengers Bengaluru Won: 14
MI vs RCB Prediction: Who will Win?
Royal Challengers Bengaluru has a lead on paper, particularly in light of their previous performance. However, if MI's top order performs well and the bowling unit remains formed, they have every chance of winning.
While Rohit Sharma's availability is in doubt, MI has hope because Jasprit Bumrah may make a comeback, which might be crucial for the season. The Paltans showed their strength and crushed KKR in their lone game at the Wankhede, which will also greatly improve their spirits.
However, the Bengaluru team has won both of its road games thus far and has appeared to be a well-oiled machine. Though RCB begins as the small favorite, especially if they win the toss and chase, expect an exciting match.

Considering the possible impact of dew in the second innings of the match, the team that wins the toss in the Mumbai vs. Bengaluru match will try to bowl first.
At the Wankhede, the batters may play aggressively because they can rely on the surface's bounce. There will likely be a lot of runs with short bounds.
The surface offered in the one IPL match played at the Wankhede had something to offer both bowlers and hitters, and the latter took full advantage of the assistance by bowling out KKR for less than 150 runs.
