Bangalore vs Mumbai Match Preview :-

If we look onto the RCB performance in the tournament, they have played 9 matches so far out of which only on 4 occasions they taste the happiness of win. They have one of the most stronger batting line up among the other 7 teams. Captain Virat Kohli is in great form, scored 561 runs in just 9 innings with an average of 80.14 and the current Orange cap holder of IPL 2016, AB de Villiers one of the best cricketer of today’s era scoring runs for his team in slog overs to boost up the score, Shane Watson who is doing well with the bat as well as with the ball and who can forget Chris Gayle. So the Royal Challengers Bangalore is fully loaded with the batsman who can turn the game at any moment. But the thing in which they are lagging throughout the tournament and faced 5 defeats so far is the bowling. Except Watson no one is taking wickets and binding the batsman not to hit big shots. They have scored big total in the game 5 times (170+ ) but defend only one time which shows how weak is the bowling department is. From last few games a bowler is also pop up in the eyes of all viewers he is Yuzvendra Chahal.  He gave important break through on very crucial time. In the last match too he took 2 wickets at very crucial time and made his team to come back in the game and in the end won the match by 1 run. So all is good the area on which RCB have to work is the bowling. If Bangalore win this match then they will be on the 4th or 5th place in the points table with 10 points for sure.

So many ups and downs for the defending Champions so far in the IPL 2016. Mumbai Indians have played 10 matches and out of which they have won 5 matches and with 10 points they are on the 5th spot in the points table. After loosing four matches in the starting of the tournament Mumbai team stand back in his style. In the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad whole team got all out on just 92 runs while chasing target of 178 run. A big lose of 85 runs in that match for the Indians. This is the main problem with the team. The batting side is very inconsistent. You can’t rely on single batsman every time and this has to be understood by every player. Rohit Sharma is the leading run scorer of the team but if he departs early the full batting bench struggle every time. They have also big names under their shed like Jos Buttler, Kieron Pollard, Martin Guptill, Mitchell McClenaghan. The bowling department is strong of Mumbai Indians. Mitchell McClenaghan is the current Purple Cap holder of the tournament. Harbhajan Singh is also doing good with the ball along with Bumrah. The thing on which MI coaching staff and mentors have to work is the batting. They have to build some strategies and plans and execute them on the field. Lets see what will happen in the RCB vs MI Match.
