Indian Premier League 2020, Match 48

Sheik Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Strength

Mumbai Indians:

• A highly potent top-order batting which has a blend of youth and experience.
• A strong middle order with power-packed finishers.
• All their pacers have been pretty good in the early part of the innings.

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

• They have a strong batting line-up on paper.
• Presence of genuine match-winners like Kohli, Chahal, ABD, and Finch who can single-handedly win matches for their team.
• Strong spin attack. The duo of Washington Sundar and Yuzi Chahal seems to work well.

Weakness

Mumbai Indians:

• The spin department of Mumbai looks weak compared to the rest of the teams in IPL 2020.
• The absence of captain Rohit Sharma is affecting the team.

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

• Morris is the only bankable pacer in the death overs. Saini, Udana, and Siraj need to step up in that phase of the innings.

MI VS RCB MATCH PREDICTION

Despite suffering loss in their last encounter, both these teams will be confident of outcasting their opponent in this match. Even though a sure qualification is still not guaranteed, the winner of this match will most probably have a greater chance of making it to the playoffs. If the winner is MI, then the chances are even higher, owing to their superior net run rate.

As far as the playing eleven is concerned, RCB is struck with an unexpected injury to lead pacer Navdeep Saini. He who split the webbing of his right hand is expected to miss the match. So RCB will have to bring back Isuru Udana and Shivam Dube in place of Moeen Ali and Navdeep Saini to balance the eleven. For MI, captain Rohit Sharma is expected to be sidelined once again as he is yet to recover from the injury. Kieron Pollard will lead the team in his absence and Ishan Kishan will open the batting.

MI Playing XI: Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Rahul Chahar, James Pattinson, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah

RCB Playing XI: Aaron Finch, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Shivam Dube, Gurkeerat Mann Singh, Washington Sundar, Isuru Udana, Chris Morris, Mohammad Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal
