THE LOWDOWN

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE

  • After losing their opening game of the tournament, Royal Challengers Bangalore made it back-to-back successes thanks to getting the better of Rajasthan Royals last time out.
  • They edged their way to a four-wicket victory in the final over of the contest thanks to the efforts of Shahbaz Ahmed (45) and Dinesh Karthik (44*) but more will be needed from the likes of David Willey if he is to continue batting up the order.

MUMBAI INDIANS

  • Mumbai Indians suffered a third successive loss to begin their Indian Premier League campaign and the pressure is on the five-time champions to get off the mark in their fourth clash.
  • Kolkata Knight Riders handed MI a five-wicket loss as Pat Cummins went off with the bat in a brutal display of hitting and the bowling unit will need to find a way to stop the rot here having initially put themselves in a decent position to win the game.

THE PREDICTION

Royal Challengers Bangalore will go in search of a third successive victory in the IPL as they take on winless Mumbai Indians. MI will not be in a good spot if they fail to come out on top here and the 2020 winners may already be feeling the pressure of their poor start. They failed to come out on top despite performing well on the whole against Kolkata Knight Riders but with RCB winning the past two matchups between the two on top of their recent form, this could be another damaging loss for the Mumbai outfit.
