MI vs RCB Preview: 

• Rohit Sharma looked very close to his best with 49 runs from 27 balls against Delhi Capitals. The experienced top order batter is a strong choice for Mumbai Indians’ highest run scorer in this clash. Jasprit Bumrah took 2/22 in the last game and he is our pick for Mumbai Indians’ top wicket taker in Match 25.
• After an unbeaten century against Rajasthan Royals, Virat Kohli is averaging over 100 so far in this campaign and the right-hander is our tip for RCB’s highest run scorer against Mumbai Indians. Reece Topley took 2/27 in the last fixture and the tall left-armer is well worth selecting as RCB’s top wicket taker in this match.
• Virat Kohli is in exceptional form and producing high and consistent scores. We recommend backing him to hit the most fours in this game.

Toss Predictions: 

Although Mumbai Indians won when batting first at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, teams fielding first do have a stronger record over recent times at this venue. Therefore we expect the skippers to select to bowl if they call correctly at the toss.

Weather & Pitch Report: 

Weather: ⛅

According to the forecast, it will be partly cloudy and very humid throughout this game. The temperature will drop slightly from a starting point of 31 degrees but humidity levels will increase from 60 to 75%.

Pitch Report:

There was plenty of pace in the wicket in Match 20 and the expectation is for a similar surface for this game. As such, a par score will be in the region of 205-210 and top order batters should be able to make plenty of runs in the powerplay.

Team NEWS: 

MI Team News: 

After losing their three opening games, Mumbai Indians made three changes to their starting XI ahead of their last match. The changes seemed to work and included Suryakumar Yadav back from injury so with this fixture at the same venue we expect to see the same team. 

RCB Team News: 

Faf du Plessis was disappointed with the intensity from his players in the field against Rajasthan Royals so we can expect more energy across the side in this game. If there are to be any changes to the side, expect them in the bowling unit.

We are predicting a high scoring fixture with Mumbai Indians getting the win.

Mumbai Indians to beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Mumbai Indians a 67% chance to win this match 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru a 44% chance to win this match 

Key Players: 

Mumbai Indians 

Rohit Sharma 

The former skipper struck six fours and three sixes at the top of the order in the last game but comes into this match still looking for his first half-century of this campaign.

Hardik Pandya 

After his move from Gujarat Titans during the off-season, the captain will be delighted to get his first win. He also impressed with the bat hitting 39 from number four.

Jasprit Bumrah 

The all-format pace bowler was the most economical of the bowling attack against Delhi Capitals and dismissed two of the top three.

Gerald Coetzee 

The South African right-arm fast medium bowler is a real competitor and his confidence will be high after taking three wickets in the final over of the innings in the last match.

MI Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Kwena Maphaka, Naman Dhir, Shams Mulani, Akash Madhwal, Nehal Wadhera 

On his first game back from injury, Suryakumar played only the batting innings with Akash Madhwal coming in and bowling four expensive overs. There could be an opportunity for Kwena Maphaka or Shams Mulani to play during the fielding innings this time.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru 

Virat Kohli 

The experienced right-hander was the first player to bring up 200 runs this season and now 300 runs after his 113 not out from 72 balls against Rajasthan.

Faf du Plessis 

The South African skipper will have been pleased from a personal perspective to hit 44 runs in the last game, his highest score of the tournament so far.

Reece Topley 

The England white-ball international was exceptional with the new ball in the last match and he should get excellent pace and bounce from this wicket.

Mayank Dagar 

The left-arm spinner was very expensive in the last match but will be required to bowl his full allocation against the right-handers of Mumbai Indians and will look to find more consistency.

RCB Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Suyash Prabhudessai, Mahipal Lomror, Himanshu Sharma, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Swapnil Singh 

Leg-spinner Himanshu Sharma came into the side for the bowling innings in the last match but was expensive so on this pitch we expect medium pacer Vijaykumar Vyshak to be a likely option. Saurav Chauhan is expected to get an opportunity during the batting innings once again.

Team Forms:
