MI vs RCB Predicted XI: In one of the most anticipated contests in the Indian Premier League, Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match 20 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. An MI vs RCB match is an occasion, expect a record turnout in the stadium as well as in the viewership as well. 

Mumbai Indians’ line-up looked class apart as they claimed victory in their first match against Kolkata Knight Riders. However, following the two points they earned in their season opener, the team led by Hardik Pandya has struggled to perform at its potential. They’ve already been defeated by the Delhi Capitals and the Rajasthan Royals, making them eager to secure a victory in the next match.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru began with a few outstanding victories, but their success was halted by the Riyan Parag-led team, as Vaibhav Sooryavanshi reigned supreme. The reigning champions are likely keen to secure their third victory of the season and get back to winning form.

MI vs RCB: Bethell to come in

Jacob Bethell, in all likelihood, will replace compatriot Phil Salt in the RCB lineup. Suyash Sharma could just reclaim his role as an Impact Player, unless a similar collapse occurs as in Guwahati, where Venkatesh Iyer was needed as the Impact Player. The team management might also discuss Abhinandan Singh, as he has been the weak link in the bowling line-up.
