The match no. 54 was the second match of Sunday’s double header, where the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) took on the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Raipur. This was the reverse fixture, and the reigning champions won the low-scoring thriller by 2 wickets off the final ball of the 20th over.
MI was led by Suryakumar Yadav, as Hardik Pandya missed out on the game, as he is still not fit. However, it was Rajat Patidar who won the toss and elected to field first; the reigning champions played the same team from their last loss. Mumbai also fielded an unchanged side from their win in the last game.
