IPL 2024 Points Table: The win over RCB was MI's second cosecutive victory in the ongoing tournament.
Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan provided the fireworks with the bat after Jasprit Bumrah's magical five-wicket haul as Mumbai Indians pummelled Royal Challengers Bengaluru by seven wickets for their second win in IPL 2024 at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. After the win, MI gained a spot in the points table to rise to the seventh spot. Meanwhile, Mumbai's progress dented Punjab Kings as they lost a position and slipped to eighth. Rest of the points table remained unchanged with Rajasthan Royals at the top. Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants held the second and third positions, respectively.

Kishan went ballistic to make 69 off just 34 balls (7x4s, 5x6s) and Suryakumar dazzled with a 19-ball 52 with four sixes and five fours, as Mumbai Indians overhauled RCB's 197-run target in just 15.3 overs. RCB huffed and puffed but put up a challenging 196/8 courtesy skipper Faf du Plessis (61), Rajat Patidar (50) and Dinesh Karthik's 23-ball 53 not out but the total proved to be far from enough.
The tone for an aggressive reply on a placid deck was set by Kishan, who tore into Mohammed Siraj to collect 23 runs off the India pacer's second over, hammering him for three sixes and a four.
The onslaught continued when RCB introduced Glenn Maxwell in the sixth over, with the MI opener swatting two fours and a six to race to his first fifty of the season off only 23 balls.
