. The toss is scheduled at 7 pm, while the match begins at 7:30 pm.

. MI have a slender edge of 15 wins against RCB's 15. However, the hosts have won six of the last seven meetings at the Wankhede Stadium with RCB's only win coming last year.

. The surface at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is known to be a batter's paradise. With even bounce and shorter boundaries, high scoring games are a norm at the venue.

Pacers, however, can make early inroads, using the swing on offer due to the sea breeze.

The team batting first would want to chase on what is likely to be a belter of a wicket.

. Bumrah has not picked a wicket in his last four IPL games, stretching to 98 balls.

. Venkatesh Iyer won POTM in two of his last three appearances at the Wankhede.

. The defeat in Guwahati in the previous match was RCB's first defeat in a designated away league fixture in 11 games since 2024.

. Hardik Pandya opts to bowl first.

. "We’re going to bowl first. Looks like a good track. We played the first game on the other pitch, this looks similar. It’s always good to bat second here. I think it’s a big game. Just want to come out and play our best cricket, do the things we’ve spoken about in the meetings, and just enjoy the sport. We requested good wickets and we’ve been getting them. As long as you land the ball right as a bowler and play the right shots as a batter, you’re in the game. Over the years at Wankhede, chasing has worked for a lot of teams. Being our home ground, dew comes in later as well. So it’s good to know what you’re chasing, you can plan your innings accordingly. Mayank Markande and Mitchell Santner come in for Chahar and Ghazanfar," Pandya said.

. "Obviously would have bowled first. But as you all know, it’s a good batting track. The ball comes nicely onto the bat with good bounce. So honestly, it won’t make too much difference. We’ll try to put a good total on the board and keep them under pressure. This is our fourth game. The way we’ve played the last few matches, there are a lot of positives. In the last match, we were 97 for 6 and still managed to score over 200. That’s a positive sign for us. We enjoy it a lot here. Whenever we come, we see great crowds. It’s challenging, but at the same time, fun and exciting. Just one change, Duffy comes in place of Hazlewood," Patidar said.
