Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match 20 of the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) on Sunday, April 12 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Mumbai got off to a winning to their IPL campaign for the first time after 14 years. However, they failed to continue their momentum and went on to lose their next two fixtures against Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals.
On the other hand, RCB have got off to a good start in their title defence, winning two out of their first three fixtures. They suffered their first loss of the season in the previous game against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Hence, the Rajat Patidar-led side will hope to return to winning ways in the upcoming game, while MI would hope to register their second win of the season at their home ground.

Players to watch out for in MI vs RCB
Rohit Sharma (MI)
The MI opener got off to a good start to the season, scoring a breathtaking 78 (38) in the first fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). With MI set to play their second game of the season at Wankhede Stadium, all eyes will be on Rohit Sharma again.
Josh Hazlewood (RCB)
The right-arm seamer didn’t have a good comeback to the IPL as he was taken down by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the last fixture. Hazlewood will find good assistance from the Wankhede surface in the upcoming game and will prove to be a menace for MI batters with the new ball.
