Team News
Mumbai Indians
For Mumbai Indians, runs from Rohit Sharma’s bat in previous match are good signs for them. Middle-order batsmans Suryakumar Yadav and Saurabh Tiwary are also among runs. Now it would be time for finishers as well to perform as per their standards.
Mumbai Indians fast bowlers are among wickets. James Pattinson and Trent Boult have provided breakthroughs in the powerplay overs.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
For RCB, Virat Kohli not scoring runs is little bit-concern for them. Although, many games are left and he could be back in form soon. Today, RCB may change their playing XI. In place of Joshua Philippe, they could go with Moeen Ali and try to fit Chris Morris in team, if he gets fit.
