Royal Challengers Bangalore managed to score 161/7 in 20 overs after losing some wickets in quick succession in middle overs. Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to field.
RCB started the innings well as the top four batsmen did give them the base for a big total but Hardik Pandya’s over changed the complexion of the game.
He scalped three wickets in that over. Later, Colin de Grandhomme hammered Mitchell McClenaghan for three sixes. In spite of not having the home advantage this time around, Mumbai will still fancy themselves for picking up another win over RCB.
The side defeated Chennai Super Kings in their previous match at home by 8 wickets, while the Bangalore side has lost their last two encounters at home. After the 6-wicket loss to KKR in their previous encounter, RCB is bound to feel the pressure against MI.
