THE PREDICTION
Plenty of pressure rests on both of these two teams when taking into account the nightmare start each have had to the second phase of the IPL. The big worry for Royal Challengers Bangalore is their batting depth, which was exposed against Chennai once the top order had been dismissed. RCB are too reliant on both their openers and AB de Villiers for runs and this could be exploited by Mumbai Indians’ high class bowling attack. One must wonder the effect Virat Kohli announcing his resignation as RCB captain following the 2021 IPL has had on the team from a mental perspective, but ultimately the upheaval caused by the withdrawal and replacement of overseas players has also proven costly for them. Mumbai Indians are hardly pulling up trees currently, but they do look a more settled side and if Hardik recovers in time to play, then Rohit Sharma’s men should get back to winning ways.
