Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted 240/4 riding on Phil Salt’s 78 and Rajat Patidar’s 20-ball 53, then restricted Mumbai Indians to 222/5 despite a brisk start. MI suffered their third straight loss as RCB spinners delivered in a high-scoring contest at Wankhede Stadium.
Mumbai: Phil Salt found his touch with a 36-ball 78 to power Royal Challengers Bengaluru to an18-run win against the Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League 2026 game at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Skipper Rajat Patidar hammered 53 in 20 balls after Virat Kohli scored 50 in 38 balls. Tim David (34*, 16b) finished in style to power RCB to 240 for 4 in 20 overs.
Bengaluru spinners Suyansh Sharma (2 for 47) and Krunal Pandya (1 for 26) bowled well in a high-scoring game, and impact player Rasikh Salam (1 for 25 in 2.5 overs) also did his job well to restrict Mumbai to 222 for five.
Chasing a mammoth target, MI openers Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton gave the hosts a good start. They reached 56 without loss in five overs. Too many interruptions prolonged the game, as the first and second innings each took almost 2 hours.
Rohit received treatment for his hamstring after five overs and continued only to play one more ball and retired hurt on 19 in 12 balls to bring Suryakumar Yadav to the crease. Rohit never returned. Rasikh gave just 15 runs in his first two overs to limit MI to 62/0 in the powerplays.
