They face Mumbai Indians (MI) on Monday (6 April). MI have only won one match so far from four games and are in the eighth spot. Still, the Wankhede Stadium, the venue for the MI vs RCB match, can prove to be the kryptonite for Bengaluru.

Mumbai weather report and Wankhede pitch prediction:

Expect a hot and humid day or evening in Mumbai with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius. All captains winning tosses at Wankhede have preferred to chase since IPL 2024 due to the dew factor, however, the team batting first has won four out of the last eight matches in Mumbai.

Also, despite small boundaries, we haven’t seen a lot of 200-plus totals at the Wankhede. Including IPL 2024, there have been only four 200-plus totals.
