The struggle of Mumbai Indians is not coming to an end and they are carrying a poor record at home as well. Royal Challengers Bangalore is also struggling to win matches consistently and they have witnessed a higher amount of failure in away games.
With a total of 10 points and a net run rate of -.454, Mumbai Indians are currently at the 6th spot in the IPL 2023 point table.
Royal Challengers Bangalore is currently in the 5th spot with 10 points as well and a net run rate of -.209.
We predict a win for RCB on Tuesday.
The betting tip is...
Mumbai Indians Total Runs In First 6 Overs: Over 46.5.
Mumbai Indians witnessed a home defeat against CSK in their previous fixture. It was a low-scoring game where MI batters completely failed to impress.
Cameroon Green, Ishan Kishan, and Rohit Sharma departed at a very early stage and the whole pressure came on the middle-order to score runs. Even the bowling department failed to make an impact and was unable to pick wickets at the right time.
Skipper Rohit Sharma wonβt be making any changes to the playing XI.
Predicted Lineup: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Cameron Green, Tilak Varma, Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Jofra Archer, Piyush Chawla, Kumar Kartikeya, Akash Madhwal, Arshad Khan
The ongoing season of IPL is not turning out to be positive for RCB. They are travelling to Wankhede after witnessing a loss against DC in their previous fixture.
The primary reason for their loss was the weak bowling attack. Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel turned out to be the most expensive bowlers and were targeted by Delhi batters in every spell.
RCBβs strength is their batting with Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Mahipal Lamror in positive form.
Wanindu Hasranga will be in the spotlight because Wankhede always favours the spin attack.
Predicted Lineup: Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Anuj Rawat, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Suyash Prabhudessai, Wanindu Hasaranga, Karn Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood, Harshal Patel
It is a crucial game for both teams as they both have equal points in the point table.
RCB has a good depth in their batting but MI batters are inconsistent and they are struggling to give the team a good momentum.
