Mumbai Indians host Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 20th match of IPL 2026, an evening fixture at the Wankhede Stadium on 12 April.
Mumbai, captained by Hardik Pandya, have a stacked batting group of Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Sherfane Rutherford and Naman Dhir, while Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult lead the bowling, supported by Mitchell Santner, Shardul Thakur and Mayank Markande.
RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, rely on Philip Salt, Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal at the top, with Jitesh Sharma, Tim David and Romario Shepherd in the lower order. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jacob Duffy and Krunal Pandya are part of the expected attack.
Powerplay overs usually decide games at Wankhede, and with dew likely, chasing may have an advantage. We pick Royal Challengers Bengaluru in what should be a big-scoring contest.
