MI Vs RCB Preview:
MI are currently placed 8th in the IPL 2024 points-table with just a single win from 4 games. The Hardik Pandya-led side have been unable to tick all the boxes so far in the tournament. Mumbai appears to have gained the upper hand with their victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) in their last game. Thanks to an impressive batting by Romario Shepherd and a focused bowling display by Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee as MI secured their first two points of the season, bringing great satisfaction to a struggling captain Hardik.

On the other hand, it appears that a familiar narrative is playing out once again for RCB. The bowling department has failed to click, while Virat Kohli stands out as the sole performer with the bat at the helm. Regrettably, star players such as Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and former MI star Cameron Green have failed to fire with the bat.
In the 32 matches played between the two sides in the history of the league, MI emerged victorious in 18 games, while RCB secured victory in 14 matches.
