The 20th match of IPL 2025 will feature Mumbai Indians taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both teams come into this game after suffering defeats in their previous matches. Mumbai Indians have played four matches this season, winning just one. In contrast, RCB have secured two wins in three games. With a favorable batting surface at Wankhede, both teams will aim to bounce back.
Wankhede Stadium Offers Strong Support for Batting
The Wankhede pitch, made from red soil, is known for its consistent pace and bounce. This makes it easier for batters to hit boundaries and play attacking cricket. Initially, pacers may get some help with the new ball, but conditions become ideal for batting as the match progresses.
Only one match has been played at Wankhede so far in this IPL season, where both Mumbai’s bowlers and batters performed well. Due to the dew factor later in the evening, captains winning the toss often prefer to bowl first. Historically, out of 117 IPL matches at Wankhede, teams chasing the target have won 63 times, while teams batting first have won 54.
Weather Conditions Expected During MI vs RCB Match
The weather during the MI vs RCB match is expected to be warm, with the temperature around 34°C at the start. It is likely to cool down slightly as the game progresses, offering some relief from the humidity. Dew might also play a role in the second innings, possibly favoring the team batting later.
