RCB vs MI: Raipur showdown for slumping Challengers
10 May
Summary
- RCB seeks to end a two-match losing streak against MI.
- MI enters the match with momentum after a big chase win.
- Raipur hosts its first IPL match since 2016.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will aim to halt their current two-match losing streak when they face Mumbai Indians in Raipur on Sunday. Having started IPL 2026 with four wins in five matches, RCB has since faltered, losing three of their last five fixtures. They currently hold third place in the standings with 12 points from 10 games.
Mumbai Indians enter this contest with a surge of confidence, buoyed by a successful 228-run chase in their previous outing. The return to form of Rohit Sharma, scoring 84 off 44 balls after an injury, further bolsters their confidence. Hardik Pandya's fitness is also a point of hope for the team.
The venue, Raipur's Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, will host an IPL match for the first time since 2016. This stadium previously saw Royal Challengers Bengaluru secure a six-wicket victory. The pitch is expected to favor high-scoring encounters, as indicated by a recent T20 match where over 400 runs were scored.
Live streaming of the match will be available on JioHotstar, with broadcast coverage on the Star Sports Network. The game is scheduled to commence at 7:30 PM IST on May 10, 2026.
