Mumbai Indians will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 20 of IPL 2026 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on April 12. After starting the season with a win, Mumbai Indians lost the momentum and suffered defeats in their next two matches against Delhi and Rajasthan. In their previous match, they failed to chase a target of 151 runs against Rajasthan Royals in a rain-affected game. Those results have dropped them to eighth position, and they will be eager to turn things around as they return to their home ground.

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru suffered their first defeat in the season against Rajasthan Royals, failing to defend a target of 202 runs. Captain Rajat Patidar was the top scorer for RCB in the last match, scoring 63 runs off 40 balls. Both teams will aim to bounce back into winning ways.
