The Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Tuesday (May 9) in Mumbai in Match 54 of the ongoing Indian Premier League season (IPL 2023).

The game marks the reverse fixture between two of the most popular IPL teams. Earlier this season, RCB hosted MI for a match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Virat Kohli's brilliant batting helped Bangalore defeat Mumbai by eight wickets on that occasion.
