Yesterday IPL Match RCB vs MI

RCB defeated MI by 18 runs in a high-scoring Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash yesterday. The Bengaluru team rode on explosive half-centuries from Phil Salt, Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar to post 240/4 before restricting Mumbai to 222/5 despite a late blitz from Sherfane Rutherford.

Chasing a daunting 241-run target, the MI explosively began their innings, with openers Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton taking the attack to the RCB bowlers from the outset. But they suffered a major setback when Rohit Sharma walked off the field during the sixth over due to a hamstring issue, disrupting their rhythm at the top.

Suryakumar Yadav scored 33 off 22, but his wicket to Krunal Pandya hurt MI’s chase. Skipper Hardik Pandya tried to revive the innings with a quick 40 off 22, but was dismissed at a key moment by Jacob Duffy. Rasikh Salam Dar removed Naman Dhir soon after, leaving MI struggling. A late explosive knock from Sherfane Rutherford (71 off 31, 9 sixes*) kept hopes alive, but MI ended at 222/5, falling short by 18 runs. Suyash Sharma was impressive with the ball, picking up two wickets for RCB.
