Indian T20 League 2024

MUM vs BLR, 25th Match

Preview

Match no. 25 of the Indian T20 League 2024 will witness an encounter between Mumbai and Bengaluru on Thursday, April 11. The game is scheduled to be played at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. 

The home side managed to get their first win of the season after three straight defeats. The side led by their new skipper Hardik Pandya won their last match against Delhi by 29 runs. 

The five-time champions received support from all departments as the openers gave a power-packed start which was carried on by the middle order and the finishers gave the final touch to end the innings with a target of 234 runs. Gerald Coetzee was the chief architect of the bowling side with his four-fer which guided them to their first win of the season. 

Meanwhile, Bengaluru aren’t having any results in their favour. The Faf du Plessis-led team is coming off three consecutive losses out of which two came at their home. They have some of the best batters by their side but they need to work on their bowling which has been the main reason for their constant losses. The Red Devils would be looking forward to learning from their previous faults and coming out stronger with a second win in this fixture.

Match Prediction

Bengaluru is struggling with the ball this season. Solving that can ease their problems and make them win matches. The middle order has also performed poorly so far, and their senior players need to step up to keep their next-stage qualification hopes alive. Mumbai batters have come into form and they have good depth in the batting lineup. As Hardik Pandya and Co. are the hosts, hence they stand as the favourites to win this match.
