On Tuesday (May 9), Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will meet at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai for the 54th match of the Indian Premier League 2023. Both teams have won five of their ten games and are currently ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, in the points table. In their previous match against Chennai Super Kings, the Mumbai Indians scored 139 runs in 20 overs while losing eight wickets. Nehal Wadhera distinguished himself as the team's top performer by scoring his first fifty of the tournament. Despite his efforts, Chennai Super Kings chased down the target with six wickets in hand and 14 balls remaining, resulting in the first defeat for Mumbai Indians after two consecutive victories.

In their previous match against Delhi Capitals, RCB scored 181 runs with only four wickets lost in 20 overs, courtesy to half-centuries from Virat Kohli and Mahipal Lomror. However, RCB's bowlers faltered as DC chased down the target with seven wickets in hand in just 16.4 overs. Seven bowlers were used by Faf du Plessis, but only Wanindu Hasaranga completed his entire four overs. All other bowlers averaged more than eight runs per over. Despite having the most successful powerplay this season with 23 wickets, RCB's bowlers were only able to take one against DC.

The two teams have met 31 times in the IPL, with Mumbai Indians prevailing 17 times and Royal Challengers Bangalore prevailing 14 times. In recent years, RCB have been the superior team against MI. The last time MI defeated RCB was in 2020, and since then they have lost four consecutive matches to them.
