MI vs RCB Team Previews
Mumbai Indians
Mumbai are currently in the bottom half of the 10-team standiings. They have won just one match in four attempts. Their campaign started with three successive defeats against the Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals before they got their first wino of the season against the Delhi Capitals.
Tilak Varma and Rohit Sharma are Mumbai's leading run-scorers this season. Varma has hit 127 runs to Sharma's 118. Each have batted four times. Sharma has a strike rate of more than 170. He is no longer Mumbai captain, which might have empowered his primary role with the bat. Tim David and Hardik Pandya have also contributed significant runs.
Seamers Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah could be key for Mumbai again. They have shared 12 wickets this season and typified the team's ability to blend international signings with local talent. it will be interesting to see if new Mumbai captain Pandya bowls himself again this match.
Mumbai Indians Playing 11
Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Timothy David, Mohammad Nabi, Romario Shepherd, Shreyas Gopal, Jasprit Bumrah, Gerald Coetzee, Akash Madhwal.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Bangalore's attempt to win their first IPL title has not started well. Their last three fixture have all yielded defeat and a fourth would certainly hurt their bid to at least reach the play-off stage of the tournament. For a team with so much individual talent, they're not doing well collectively.
The talismanic Virat Kohli is the leading run-scorer in the 2024 IPL overall. He has already hit a century and two half-tons this season, averaging well over 100. But he has lacked support. While Kohli has 316 runs, RCB's next highest run-scorer this season is Faf du Plessis with just 109.
Yash Dayal and Mohammed Siraj have shared nine wickets in this year's tournament, but not really been as good as Bumrah and Coetzee in combination. Dayal, though, remains among the best left-arm seamers in the IPL and could big in for another big performance here.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Playing 11
Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik, Mahipal Lomror, Reece Topley, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep.
