Mumbai Indians are tipped off to win the upcoming game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. MI secured their first win in IPL 2024 against DC after three consecutive losses.
Meanwhile, RCB are struggling to get going in the tournament, with bowling woes returning to haunt them. So far, in the history of the tournament, MI has been the dominant side against RCB, having secured a victory 20 times out of the 34 matches that they have locked horns in.
MI vs RCB Prediction
MI is seen as the strong favourite to triumph in this upcoming clash. They are entering the match on the back of a win and will be playing on their home ground. On the other hand, RCB may fancy their chances against MI’s vulnerable bowling attack.
While MI boasts a formidable batting line-up, RCB batters are expected to thrive against MI’s pace-heavy bowling attack, especially considering the batting-friendly conditions at Wankhede Stadium.

MI holds the upper hand in the head-to-head record between the two teams, having won 20 games compared to RCB’s 14 victories. According to Parimatch, the odds are in favour of MI, standing at 1.7.
However, RCB is a team capable of causing upsets, with a lineup featuring strong batters like Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. Virat Kohli, in particular, has been in outstanding form with the bat, scoring 316 runs in five games this season, including a century in the last match. Despite RCB leading the recent head-to-head encounters by 4-1, the odds are not in their favour, standing at 2.11.
Taking all factors into consideration, Insidesport.IN predicts that Mumbai Indians will prevail over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in this highly anticipated clash.
