Royal Challengers Bengaluru will welcome the ninth-placed Mumbai Indians in an IPL 2026 fixture on Sunday. RCB have shifted their home base to Raipur’s Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium for their last two home matches of the season, with their final two league games being played away.
The defending champions have suffered back-to-back defeats against Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants and are keen to return to winning ways. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians secured a crucial six-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants in their last outing, but they must build on that momentum to stay in playoff contention.
