RCB vs MI

RCB vs MI: For Match number 5 of IPL 2023, the Royal Challengers Bangalore will be hosting the Mumbai Indians on Sunday evening at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Heading into the tournament, both teams are dented due to injuries.

Both the teams have had contrasting last few IPL seasons. While MI won the 2020 season, they have failed to reach the playoffs in the last two seasons. RCB have shown more consistency than ever, reaching the playoffs of the last three seasons, but failed to reach the final in each attempt in last 3 years.

RCB will be without Rajat Patidar and Josh Hazlewood for at least a couple of weeks of the IPL 2023 as both recover from leg injuries, while they have replaced Will Jacks with Michael Bracewell.

RCB will also be without Wanindu Hasaranga until April 9.

Who will win the match?

The Cricket Lounge predicts Mumbai Indians to start off on a winning note by defeating RCB.

RCB are depleted signficantly by the unavailability of Hasaranga, Patidar, and Hazlewood, plus their middle and lower-middle order also will be tested by the MI bowlers. MI, despite losing Bumrah, will have Archer and Behrendorff along with Shokeen as the spinner. Mumbai’s batting is looking much stronger than RCB’s.

Squads:
