Match Preview
After losing three successive matches, five-time IPL winners Mumbai Indians announced their arrival in the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League. The Hardik Pandya-led squad defeated the Delhi Capitals by a margin of 29 runs and moved to a higher position in the points table. Royal Challengers Bengaluru continued their losing run by slumping to Rajasthan Royals by a margin of six wickets. The match witnessed a brilliant performance by the batting icon Virat Kohli as he recorded the first century of the season. However, the rest of the team failed to perform, and Kohli’s century didn’t prove to be enough for the side to win the game.
While Mumbai would aim to continue their winning spree, Bengaluru will aim to regain their long-lost momentum and get back on track as the sides lock horns on April 11, Thursday.
Toss Prediction
RCB and MI have faced each other in 32 matches in the past editions of the Indian Premier League. If we talk about the toss wins in their last five games, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper recorded three favourable toss outcomes, whereas luck had MI’s side on two occasions. Speaking of the upcoming game, we think MI skipper Hardik Pandya would win the toss, considering the match will take place at the Wankhede Stadium.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, RCB and MI faced each other in 32 games, where Mumbai maintained an edge over their counterparts by emerging victorious in 18 games. Bengaluru, on the other side, clinched victory in 14 matches. Talking of the current season, Mumbai lost three back-to-back games before finally opened their winning account against Delhi Capitals. Now that they have announced their arrival in the IPL 2024, the Mumbai-based franchise is less likely to back out and slip further opportunities to win more games in the tournament.
RCB, on the flip side, have been able to win only one game of the season so far. While they have a well-rounded squad, players, except for a few names, clearly failed to perform and deliver their best. It is evident that only a few names have come forward and shouldered the responsibility for the team’s win. Unless and until the entire squad doesn’t come forward and play matches as a unit, it would be challenging for them to win.
Considering the ongoing conditions and previous records, it would be safe to say that MI would win their next match against RCB.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The upcoming match between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers is the third game of the IPL 2024 that the Wankhede Stadium will host. The stadium has hosted a total of 113 IPL matches in the past and has a first-inning average of 170 runs. In the upcoming match, the first-inning score is expected to be around 175-180. The powerplay score is likely to hover around 55-65.
