On Thursday, there will be a match between two rival teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL), known as the “DERBY in cricket”, which will take place at the Wankhede Stadium. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and the Mumbai Indians (MI) are playing each other.
In their last game, Hardik Pandya & Co defeated the Delhi Capitals by 29 runs, opening their account in the current IPL. Mumbai finally showed their familiar rhythm in the IPL after a long time. There is much discussion over whether Nita Ambani & Team can maintain their rhythm versus RCB.
However, RCB’s impact on the current IPL is minimal. Despite playing two of their last three games at home, they were unable to accumulate any points.
Even though the Virat has been playing very well, the RCB team management is concerned about their bowling department’s shortcomings and other batters. Virat Kohli’s team is ready to face Mumbai after rectifying their errors.
Remember these points at the time of building the Dream11 Fantasy Team:
- Suryakumar Yadav will be playing as an Impact player.
- Will Jacks will be added to the squad.
- Suyash Prabhudessai and Himanshu Sharma will be included in the team.

MI vs RCB Dream11 Prediction: Who will be victorious?
Despite their inconsistent starts, the Mumbai Indians (MI) are the stronger team in their matchup against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Their batting squad is a powerhouse, with Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and the in-form Tilak Varma.
RCB is largely reliant on Virat Kohli’s rediscovering form, while its bowling lacks the expertise of Jasprit Bumrah or a healthy Hardik Pandya.
Mumbai’s bowling attack also includes Piyush Chawla, who may exploit a Wankhede surface that may help spinners later in the innings. MI should win this game because of their potent hitting lineup and home-field advantage over RCB.
