We take a look at the head-to-head battle, Players to watch out for, and Squads of both teams in our match preview.
Mumbai Indians: W L L L
Mumbai Indians got off to a horrid start but a win in their last game against Delhi Capitals must have given them a shot in the arm. They came up with a collective batting performance with Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Tim David, and Romario Shepherd scoring runs.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: L L L W L
RCB has lost their last three matches, which is never a promising sign. The star-studded batting unit has been over-reliant on Virat Kohli’s shoulders and Andy Flower will hope that the likes of Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Cameron Green come to the party sooner than later.
