PremiumIn the fifth match of the Indian Premiere League (IPL) on 2 April, the Faf du Plessis-led RCB team after winning the toss decided to bowl first against the Rohit Sharma-led team Mumbai Indians at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The Mumbai Indians had a patchy start as its opening batting order collapsed against the RCB bowling attack. All three MI openers -- Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Cameron Green walked to the pavilion within 6 overs.
Mumbai Indians, though lost the momentum in the beginning, scored a decent 171 runs after losing 7 wickets. Now, RCB will have to chase 172 runs with 8.6 RPO.
Chasing a target of 172 runs, RCB's Virat Kohli (82) and squad skipper Faf du Plessis (73) dominated the game from the very beginning. Though, du Plessis got out in 15 over, with Glen Maxwell's (12) sensational hits, RCB won the match against MI by 8 wickets at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis won the toss and have chosen to bowl first
Royal Challengers Bangalore head coach Sanjay Bangar, during a pre-match press conference confirmed that Glenn Maxwell will be part of RCB's playing XI.
Maxwell has recently returned to action in the ODI series against India. During the India-Australia ODI series, Australia won 2-1.
Maxwell had been resting owing to a leg injury that he sustained last year. The all-rounder has been cleared to play by Cricket Australia (CA).
Even though Mumbai Indians has had the highest number of IPL title win by any franchise, they won five times, the team also saw a disappointing season in 2022. Mumbai Indians was placed at the bottom with only four wins in 10 matches.
RCB have maintained a winning record against MI, going unbeaten since 2020. Will the Faf du Plessis led team be able to maintain their winning streak against the Rohit Sharma led Mumbai Indians?
The Virat Kohli versus Rohit Sharma match is sure to be a crucial one.
RCB has a 19-12 win-loss against Mumbai Indians. They also have won four of their last five matches against the five-time IPL champions, one of which was via Super Over and three came on the trot in their last three meetings.
The Rohit Sharma-led team has had a fantabulous run at the Bengaluru stadium. They have won ten times from the thirteen times they have visited this ground
The Royal Challengers Bangalore's homeground is the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. However, RCB have failed to make Chinnaswamy a fortress, losing 40 matches and winning 42 in IPL history. Since 2018, they have a 7-6 win-loss record in 14 ties at home.
