THE LOWDOWN

MUMBAI INDIANS

  • Mumbai Indians finally got their IPL campaign off and running at the fourth time of asking with a much-needed victory over Delhi Capitals in which they piled up a massive 234/5 batting first at the Wankhede Stadium.
  • It was a genuine team effort with the bat as of Mumbai’s seven batters scored 39 runs or more, before Gerald Coetzee did most of the damage with the ball, the South African picking up four wickets.

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BENGALURU

  • Virat Kohli did his very best to set RCB a platform in-which to go on and gain victory away to Rajasthan Royals, but their bowlers taken to the cleaners by Jos Buttler who helped the Royals inflict a third straight defeat upon RCB.
  • Kohli boasts by far the highest number of runs across this season’s IPL so far, accumulating 316 runs across five innings as it stands, but this won’t comfort RCB who are in danger of being labelled as a ‘one-man team’.

THE PREDICTION

Mumbai Indians are in a real position to use their win against Delhi as a springboard to kick on in the IPL as they so often have down the years. A slow start followed by a winning streak is Mumbai Indians’ speciality under Mahela Jayawardene and it would be no surprise if they were now to put together a run of positive results. RCB meanwhile, need to figure out a way to succeed as a unit without being carried almost single-handedly by the superstar that is Kohli. But they are unlikely to find a solution here, so back a home victory.

TIP: MUMBAI INDIANS TO WIN
