Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Both teams preview 

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians find themselves under pressure and are definitely  missing their star pacer Bumrah, with only 1 win in 4 matches so far. They had a rough start to the tournament, losing back-to-back matches against CSK and GT. The team found some hope with a strong 8-wicket victory over KKR, however it was short lived,  as the team lost its next match against LSG. Chasing 204, MI managed just 191/5 and lost by 12 runs despite their resilient and competitive performance from Captain Hardik Pandya. With just two points on the points table, MI is desperate for stability and rhythm as it heads into the next clash against RCB.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

RCB had a great start to the tournament and are currently sitting at number two spot on points table with 4 points from three games. They kicked off the season with back-to-back wins, starting with a victory over KKR in the season opener. However, their winning momentum took a slight hit in their last outing where they suffered a 8-wicket defeat against Gujarat Titans. Heading into this clash, RCB will be hoping for redemption and will look to bounce back by capitalizing on MI’s losing form.
