Rajasthan Royals won the toss, chose to bat and lost the game here in Mumbai on the weekend. We predict that both skippers will choose to field first in this match.
MI vs RCB Pitch Report
There is good pace in the surface and we saw over 400 runs in the last game at Wankhede Stadium. We expect to see strong carry through to the wicket keeper on this pitch.
Wankhede has lived up to its reputation of being a chase friendly pitch this season. Out of four matches so far, three ended with successful chases while one was defended. The average innings score this season is around 185.
Mumbai Weather Report
Mainly clear skies are forecast across Tuesday evening at the Wankhede Stadium but it will be very humid and the temperature will remain above 30 degrees.

MI Team News & Playing 11
MI Team News
Tilak Varma and Kartikeya Singh were both left out of Mumbai Indians’ XI in Saturday’s defeat to Chennai Super Kings. Varma had a slight niggle and we expect he will not have recovered in time to be considered for this clash on Tuesday.
MI Key Players
- Suryakumar Yadav - The 32 year old right-handed batter has been in excellent form over the last couple of weeks and will look to carry his form into this match.
- Jofra Archer - The right-arm fast England international went wicketless in the last game but conceded only 24 runs from his four overs. He looks to be back to full fitness.
- Piyush Chawla - The experienced spinner continued his impressive campaign by picking up the wickets of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ajinkya Rahane in the last game.
- Tim David - Tim David is playing the role of a finisher for the team and he has done some clean hitting this season. He has smashed 179 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 167.28.
MI Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Kartikeya Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Dewald Brevis, Raghav Goyal, Vishnu Vinod
Kartikeya Singh is a slow left-arm orthodox bowler who will come into the match if there is turn in the wicket. Vishnu Vinod is a powerful striker of the ball and also a keeper.
MI Team Form
After two successive victories over Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians were beaten by six wickets with 14 balls remaining in their last game.

RCB Team News & Playing 11
RCB Team News
There was only one change to the XI for Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of their defeat against Delhi Capitals on Saturday with batting all-rounder Kedar Jadhav coming into the side. Although Jadhav did not bat or bowl in that game, we expect him to retain his place in the team for this fixture.
RCB Key Players
- Faf du Plessis - The captain has been in extraordinarily consistent form across the IPL 2023. He has hit 29 sixes, the most of any player, in the tournament.
- Virat Kohli - The former Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper is averaging 46.56 in this campaign and hit 55 runs from 46 balls against Delhi Capitals.
- Josh Hazlewood - The Australian right-arm pace bowler got the big wicket of David Warner in the last game and is very rarely expensive in any format.
- Mahipal Lomror - Lomror is trying to get in form and in the last three matches he has scored - 54, 3, 34. We can expect another good knock from his bat in this match. He has scored 132 runs in 7 innings so far this season.
RCB Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Harshal Patel, Suyash Prabhudessai, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Michael Bracewell, Shahbaz Ahmed
Prabhudessai is a batting all-rounder but is still waiting to make a big score in the 2023 IPL. Vyshak took 3-20 earlier in the campaign and is an accurate bowler.
RCB Team Form
Faf du Plessis’ side have been operating around the top spots throughout the season but are now in fifth place after two defeats from their last three games.
RCB Predicted Playing 11
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Anuj Rawat, Kedar Jadhav, Wanindu Hasaranga, Karn Sharma. Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood
