RCB vs MI IPL Prediction 2023: Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Mumbai Indians, 5th Match of IPL 2023
RCB vs MI IPL Prediction: Royal Challengers Bangalore will host Mumbai Indians at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 2nd, 2023 at 7:30 PM/IST. Virat Kohli will look to get his hand on the trophy this time as Royal Challengers Bangalore team looks very strong on paper as they always did but the last few years have been amazing for the RCB and their fans.
Royal Challengers Bangalore has been one of the best teams on paper but failed to win any Indian Premier League Title in all 15th editions. This year they had a huge RCB Unbox event on March 26th, 2023. In which AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle did a lap of honor and thanked the Royal Challengers Bangalore fans for their immense love and support. They even launched a new RCB jersey for the IPL 2023 season and they even retired AB de Villiers’s jersey number 17 and Chris Gayle’s jersey number 333.
Rohit Sharma will look to get back in the IPL season and get their hand on the sixth Indian Premier League trophy because last season was horrible for them even when they were the only team who had a home advantage.
Team Preview of Royal Challengers Bangalore
Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the favorites to win the IPL this season but they should click right together and play as a unit for most of the season. They rely on a few big players only, but this year will be playing together for the Royal Challengers Bangalore side because they are hungrier than ever.
They have strength in their batting lineup, starting with Faf du Plessis and the run machine Virat Kohli who is back in form as last year he struggled to score some runs. He scored only 341 runs in 16 innings on the other side Faf du Plessis scored 468 runs in the same number of matches as Kohli but with a better strike rate and average.
They are going to miss Glenn Maxwell in the middle order due to a minor injury he had during practice, but he will be back in the game after some time. Their main concern for them is the bowling unit because recently, their star bowler Harshal Patel did not have a great outing in international matches and the absence of pace bowler Josh Hazlewood can hurt them. They bought in Reece Topley and Michael Bracewell on their side to give them strength in the bowling unit but this will be a new league for them.

Team Preview of Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians will look to get their hands on the sixth title this season, as their last season was horrible, and they finished the season in last place. They won only four matches and lost 10 matches which was their worst finish ever in IPL history.
This year can be a great season for them as Jofra Archer will be there in the squad, giving a huge boost to the Mumbai Indians bowling unit. They bought Camron Green in exchange for huge cash of Rs. 17.50 crore, which will give them strength in the bowling and batting unit and they might be able to replace Kieron Pollard, who has been one of the best players for the Mumbai side. They bought him because they wanted a powerful finisher like Pollard who could bowl when needed.
Mumbai Indian side has some superstar batters of T20 Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan Suryakumar Yadav, and Tim David, who can smash any bowler on their day. The only concern for them is their death bowling specialist Jasprit Bumrah who is out for the whole IPL season.
