Mumbai Indians continue their winning streak in the IPL 2024 as they move to the seventh position in the IPL 2024 points table by securing their second victory in the season. MI beat RCB by a big margin of seven wickets with 27 balls remaining at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Batting first, RCB put up a total of 196/8 on the board riding on the half-centuries from Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik. Chasing it, MI cruised to the total in just 15.3 over as Surykumar Yadav hit a 17-ball half-century. Rohit Sharma Takes Funny Jibe At Dinesh Karthik During MI vs RCB IPL 2024, Says 'Saabash DK, World Cup Khelna Hai' (Watch Video).

Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to field first. RCB had a poor start as Virat Kohli got dismissed against Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah kept picking wickets despite a resilient fight from Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar in the middle. He dismissed du Plessis, Saurav Chauhan, Mahipal Lomror, Vyshak Vijaykumar and Virat Kohli to scalp a five-wicket haul. Later, Dinesh Karthik hit some big shots and pushed RCB to a decen total.

Chasing it, MI opener Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma took apart the RCB bowling in the powerplay. They only kept amplified the momentum with Ishan Kishan scoring his half-century and later Suryakumar Yadav joining with a 17-ball half-century. At no point MI showed signs of slowing down and chased down the target in just 15.3 overs.
