Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
Mumbai Indians (Match Odds – 1.92):
Preview:
To keep its playoff hopes alive, Rohit Sharma’s team needs to put on a strong performance in this game. The five-time champions were defeated by the Chennai Super Kings by six wickets in their most recent match. They have struggled with the bat, and Sharma will look to improve his form and lead the team to victory in this game.
Cameron Green and Ishan Kishan will need to get off to a good start for the team, as they have been inconsistent. Rohit’s form has been a major concern for the team, and he must perform well in the middle order alongside Nehal Wadhera and Suryakumar Yadav. Tristan Stubbs and Tim David will be needed for quick runs down the order.
The bowling attack has struggled on most occasions, and the side will need Cameron Green and Jofra Archer to get off to a good start with the new ball. Piyush Chawla has been consistent, and with Arshad Khan in the middle overs, he must keep the scoring rate under control. In the supporting roles, Raghav Goyal, Stubbs, and Akash Madhwal should do well.
Full Squad:
Rohit Sharma (c), Tim David, Ramandeep Singh, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, Jofra Archer, Arjun Tendulkar, Arshad Khan, Kumar Kartikeya, Hrithik Shokeen, Jason Behrendorff, Akash Madhwal, Cameron Green, Piyush Chawla, Duan Jansen, Vishnu Vinod, Shams Mulani, Nehal Wadhera, Raghav Goyal

Royal Challengers Bangalore (Match Odds – 1.92):
Preview:
Faf du Plessis’ team was defeated by the Delhi Capitals by 7 wickets in their most recent game. This season, the side has frequently been undone by a poor bowling performance and a lack of contribution from the lower middle order. The RCB captain will be hoping for a better performance from his team in this game. A win here would move them closer to the next round.
This season’s best opening pair has been Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli. In this game, the team will need to get off to a fast start. Glenn Maxwell, along with Mahipal Lomror and Dinesh Karthik, must anchor the innings in the middle order. Runs down the order will be required from Kedar Jadhav, Anuj Rawat, and Wanindu Hasaranga, as this has been one of the team’s weaknesses.
The bowlers struggled in the previous game and will need strong spells from Mohammad Siraj and Josh Hazlewood. Hasaranga has been in good form and will be hoping to do well in the middle overs alongside Glenn Maxwell. Harshal Patel has struggled this season, and the team relies on him to perform well in the supporting role alongside Lamror and Karn Sharma.
Full Squad:
Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Suyash Prabhudessai, Rajat Patidar, Dinesh Karthik, Anuj Rawat, Finn Allen, Glenn Maxwell, Wanindu Hasaranga, Shahbaz Ahmed, Harshal Patel, David Willey, Karn Sharma, Mahipal Lomror, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood, Siddarth Kaul, Akash Deep, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Michael Bracewell, Manoj Bhandage, Rajan Kumar, Avinash Singh, Sonu Yadav
