Mumbai are struggling at No. 8 on the points table after managing to win just one out of their first four games. They suffered an agonising 12-run defeat in their most recent clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. Hardik Pandya and Co. would want to get their campaign back on track with a win on Monday. Rohit Sharma took a hit ahead of the last game and had to miss out. His fitness will be assessed when he bats at the nets on Sunday.

Meanwhile, RCB started their campaign with back-to-back wins against Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings. However, their small winning streak came to an end in their first match at home against Gujarat Titans. They were beaten by eight wickets. The Rajat Patidar-led side will look to get back to winning ways against a rusty Mumbai at the iconic Wankhede Stadium.

Pitch report

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is expected to favour the batters. However, the new ball will swing around and the opening batters will have to be wary. If the batters can get themselves set at the crease, changing gears won’t be too difficult, especially with the fast outfield and short boundaries at the venue. The average first inning score at the Wankhede Stadium in the IPL is 171 after 119 games. Chasing teams have won 65 matches, while teams batting first have emerged victorious on 53 occasions.
