Match: Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Match 54
-
Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
-
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Key fantasy pointers
-
Both Mumbai and RCB are coming on the back of a defeat.
-
Last two games at the Wankhede saw teams scoring 200+ in all four innings.
-
And the last game here saw Mumbai chasing down 213 against Rajasthan.
-
RCB have won four of the last five matches against Mumbai, including the one earlier this season at their home.
-
Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli have five 50+ runs opening partnership this season, including having scored 148 runs for the first wicket last time they faced MI.
-
Faf du Plessis is currently the highest run-scorer in the tournament with over 500 runs and five half centuries. He was the player of the match against MI last time for his 43-ball 73.
-
Kohli also scored an unbeaten 82 off 49 in that match.
-
Suryakumar Yadav has found his form and is clearly one of the best batters in the second half of the season.
-
In the last five games, Surya has 227 runs at a strike rate of almost 190 and three half centuries as well.
-
Piyush Chawla is easily the bowler to watch out for from the MI camp. The veteran spinner has 17 wickets in 10 games at an average of 16.47.
-
RCB has the worst average (14.15) against leg spinners this season and 20 dismissals as well, making Chawla’s case even more stronger.
-
Josh Hazlewood took a wicket at the Wankhede last year every 10 balls. In three games, the ace pacer took 3 wickets at the Wankhede.
-
Mahipal Lomror scored a brilliant half century in the last match and will be crucial in the RCB middle order for this game as well.
-
Cameron Green is another batter in the MI unit who has been doing well since moving his batting position to top of the order.
-
RCB might make a couple of changes, including Shahbaz to counter the likes of Suryakumar Yadav in the middle overs.
-
Tim David has been a completely different beast doing the finishing role at the Wankhede Stadium. He has a strike rate of over 201 and got out only once this season at the venue.

Poor form alert (MI)
-
Archer has taken only one wicket in the last 12 overs.
-
Rohit Sharma got out for a duck in the last two innings and has just 5 runs in total in the last four innings.
Poor form alert (RCB)
-
Maxwell has 9 runs in the last three outings including a golden duck in the last game against DC.
-
Dinesh Karthick has 16.25 average with the bat in the last four games at a strike rate around 127 as a finisher.
-
Siraj has only 3 wickets in the last 13 overs.
-
Hasarange has only 3 wickets in the last 16 overs.
Risk-Reward alert
-
Mohammed Siraj is having a very poor second half of the tournament, taking just 3 wickets in the last 4 matches.
-
However, he is too good a bowler to stay quiet for this long especially with the new ball.
-
Hasaranga is another risky pick but might be worth picking considering his numbers last year’s numbers at this venue where he took eight wickets in four matches.
-
Arshad Khan will be another player from the MI unit worth taking the risk. RCB has done well against left arm seamers this season but still Arshad might have a chance against a right handers dominated batting of the Bangalore franchise.
-
Harshal Patel has a brilliant record against MI but still will be a risky pick at the Wankhede where he could manage only 2 wickets in four games last year.
-
Ishan Kishan is currently the joint highest run-scorer for MI this season. However, considering RCB being the best team this season with the ball in the powerplay, the southpaw might not be a sure option, especially if MI bats first.
-
Glenn Maxwell has a strike rate of 146+ and is the best spin player in this RCB unit but also got out 3 times against them this season.
Probable MI Playing XI
Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma/Nehal Wadhera, Tristan Stubbs/Dewald Brevis, Tim David, Arshad Khan, Jofra Archer, Piyush Chawla, Akash Madhwal
