MI vs RCB Preview

Royal Challengers Bangalore are having a tough season, winning just 1 out of their 5 matches so far. The main concern for RCB has been the lack of support for their star batter, Virat Kohli. Faf du Plessis has struggled to find his touch, failing to convert his starts into big scores. Meanwhile, Maxwell, who is expected to be a crucial part of the batting lineup, has also been underperforming with the bat. The RCB bowling unit, led by Mohammed Siraj, has also failed to make an impact. Siraj, who was expected to spearhead the pace attack, has been ineffective, struggling to provide the team with early breakthroughs. With the team ranking 9th in the points table, RCB will be desperate to turn things around in the upcoming match.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians finally found their winning touch in their previous match. The five-time champions had lost their first three games, but a much-needed victory in their last outing has provided them with a boost, and Hardik and Co. will look to continue their momentum playing at home.
