Hello and Welcome to our preview for Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Mumbai Indians. We are covering RCB vs MI Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for IPL. The next match is to be played at M. Chinnaswamy, Bangalore.
Both the teams have everything they could wish for. World class bowlers, explosive batsmen, and more than decent all-rounders. Yet, there is no sense of sureness in their camps right now. Mumbai and Bangalore, both are forces to be reckoned, but they have to pull something spectacular to stay in top four.
RCB still haven’t found a way to win the matches consistently, and the matches on their home ground aren’t helping them either. The bengaluru pitch is slowing down and offering spinners help, but RCB bowlers are just not equipped with what it is needed to defend a total. In their last match against KKR, with help of their top 3 batsmen, they scored 175. In the process, Kohli was just his usual phenomenal self. While bowling, only Chahal and Southee were economical. Although Siraj took two wickets, he gave away 40 runs in his 4 overs quota.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians won their last match in some style that only this team can possess. With only two wickets falling, they chased down 170 runs. With Surya Kumar Yadav, Ewin Lewis and Rohit Sharma scoring 44, 47, and 56 respectively, they never looked out of the chase against CSK.Earlier while bowling, Mitchell McClenaghan and Krunal Pandya were the bowlers for the captain, taking 2 wickets each. Jasprit Bumrah was also his usual economical self, giving away just 25 in his four overs.
