Can Sunrisers Hyderabad win the Finale ? 

If we look at the team and their performance in the tournament, they have won 10 matches so far out of 16 they have played which is maximum of this season. They have won 8 league matches and than Eliminator followed by the Qualifier 2nd. So by winning two big battle in a row the confidence of the player will be on the peak of Everest. They have performed exceptionally well due to which SRH will play the final of the tournament against RCB.

We all the know that Sunrisers have strongest bowling line up and now New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult also joined the team, becomes stronger than ever. Every team struggled in front of their bowling attack. Bhuvneshwar Kumar who has taken 23 wickets in 16 matches is the best performer from their squad and also current Purple Cap Holder of the tournament. Mustafizur Rahman has impressed every one with this bowling efforts and has taken 16 wickets so far. Due to the injury he has missed last match against Gujarat lions but hope he will be back in the finals. Ashish Nehra is not there with the team due to recent injury in his knee which is a big loss to the team but the bowlers like Barinder Sran, Bipul Sharma and Ben Cutting are there who are very economical with the ball and providing important breakthroughs at crucial time. So yes it is true that SRH have strongest bowling squad of IPL 2016 and hope they will restrict RCB in the upcoming match too so that they can’t score big total.

The main problem where Hyderabad team is struggling at is their batting. From the starting of the tournament, one man show continuously on and he is captain David Warner. Whenever he score 50+ runs at 90% of the occasion they won the match but if he got out early than whole team comes under pressure and loose wickets. Shikhar Dhawan, and Yuvraj Singh having good experience of IPL matches but not scoring runs for the team. Youngster like Deepak Hooda and Naman Ojha also disappointing with their short selections. The man who impressed in the lower batting order is Bipul Sharma specially in the last. He has smashed 3 sixes and contributed much-needed 27 runs in just 11 balls and took his team into the IPL Final along with David Warner who has scored his best individual score of 93* runs in 58 balls with 11 fours and 3 big sixes. Warner has scored total of 779 runs in 16 innings with 8 fifties and is on the 2nd position in Orange cap race just below Virat Kohli. So if they want to give a tough fight to Bangalore than they have to improve their batting. Big names who have to score runs at this grand level.

So if we look onto the possibilities of SRH to win the match yes they have very good chances and they have lift the trophy too. All depends on David Warner innings. The bowling is already up to the mark, if the batting order clicked than SRH can make history this season by wining RCB vs SRH Final match.

Chances of RCB :-

Before starting of the tournament every body is predicting Royal Challengers Bangalore as the winner of IPL 2016 as they have strongest batting line up among the all teams but they to poor bowling performance in the starting of the tournament they have lost 5 matches out of 7 they have played in initially. But from there they improved their bowling attack and by winning 6 out of 7 matches in the second half of the league they grabbed second position on the points table with 16 points. In the first Qualifier against Gujarat Lions the top order dismissed early but the man who is famous for his variety of shots AB de Villiers batted wonderfully and took his team into the Finals of IPL 2016. The bowling performance has been improved. Shane Watson and Yazuvendra Chahal are the leading wicket taker from Royal Challengers Bangalore squad. Both have taken 20 wickets so far in the league. Chris Jordan, Iqbal Abdullah are also providing important breakthroughs when captain asks from them. So overall the bowling is quite good.

We all know what RCB can do with the bat. They have scored 248 runs in 20 overs against Gujarat Lions which was the second Highest Team Total in IPL of all time. Virat Kohli what a player, Before this season he has ever scored a century in the history of IPL and this year 4 centuries in his bag. He has scored 919 runs in 15 innings which is also a record. Chris Gayle who can destroy anyone’s bowling career. He is famous for his big sixes and from last few matches he is looking good and may be in the big match we can see some sky flying sixes from him. In the middle order the finest cricketer of the world AB de Villiers is there with the team who can do anything. For him impossible is nothing. Than Shane Watson, Lokesh Rahul and Sachin Baby are there who are also in good form and can hit big shots to add momentum to the total in the slog overs. So the batting line up is fully charged and ready to hit biggies in the final match against SRH.

If we look onto the players and their performance in the previous matches, Bangalore have very good chances to win the grand finale of IPL 2016. They are good with the ball and wonderful with the bat.

The post IPL 2016 Final RCB vs SRH Match Prediction: Bangalore or Hyderabad appeared first on CRICKET99.

Teams Performance in the IPL 2016 so far :-

Delhi Daredevils :- In the very first match DD faced defeat with a big margin and people said that like previous year they will not go long in this season too. But they proved every body wrong and back to back wins bring DD on the top four teams of the IPL 2016 in the middle of the tournament. But from last 5 matches, the performance of the team was not that good due to which only 2 wins out of 5. The last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad they shown that yes they can defeat anybody in this year which was very crucial match for them ( a must win match ) and won the match on the last ball of 20th over by 4 wickets.

Possibilities of DD for the Play-offs :-

DD have played 13 matches so far and with 7 wins and 14 points they are on the 5th spot in the Points table. Gujarat Lions is on the first place with 18 points followed by SRH with 16 points and then Kolkata Knight Riders & RCB with 14 points but due to higher run rate RCB is above on Kolkata. If Delhi dare devils win this match they will be in top four and if they lose today then they have very less chance to get in Play-offs. They can only reach when SRH defeats KKR with a very good difference and DD loses with a very narrow difference so that they have can have better net run rate then Kolkata.

If we look at the batting line up of Delhi Daredevils, they have Quinton de Kock, Young Rishabh Pant who is looking exceptional well, South African Batsman JP Duminy, talented Sanju Samson, the hero of previous match against SRH Karun Nair, the all-rounder Chris Morris and Carlos Brathwaite. They all have that ability to put good runs on the board or can chase down big totals too. But they the inconsistency of the batting order of Delhi Daredevils is the thing which can cause them another defeat which can lead them to the out of the tournament .They have to work on their batting. Rahul Dravid who is the Mentor of the team have to make up the minds of young boys so that they can perform in the big match against a team like RCB.

DD has one of the strongest bowling line up among other teams of IPL 2016. Chris Morris, Mohammad Shami, captain Zaheer Khan are ready with the pace attack. In the spin department they have Amit Mishra who is the leading wicket taker from their side, young Pawan negi and South African spinner Imran Tahir all are ready to tackle the Virat Kohli brigade. If DD want to win the match against RCB then they have to impure their Batting and if today Bangalore bats first than DD have to be ready to chase a big total for sure.

Royal Challengers Bangalore :-

Before starting of IPL 2016, every body is saying that this year RCB will win the IPL 2016 as they have the strongest batting line up. But we all know no one can win matches only on the basis of the batting. Their bowling department is not that good as expected due to which they have lost too many matches in the starting. They haven’t defended 170 + total 3-4 times. After playing 10 matches they have only won 4 matches but from there they have won 3 matches back to back and one more time they are one of the most probable contender of IPL 2016 title as per the fans. Now they have played total 13 matches out of which they have won 7 and with 14 points and the highest net run rate among other teams of +0.926, they are on the 3rd place in the points table.

Possibilities of RCB for Play-offs :-

This match DD vs RCB will be very crucial for both the team. If Bangalore wins the match they will confirm their entry into the next round of the tournament but if they lose than DD will enter into the play-offs. The only one possibility for the Royal Challengers Bangalore to reach into the play-offs is if SRH win against KKR then surely they are going to qualify.

If we look onto the batting line up of the team, the captain, the run machine, the legend Virat Kohli who playing exceptionally well in the tournament. He has broken record of Chris Gayle of scoring most run in any season of IPL and so far in 13 innings scored 865 runs with 3 centuries which is also a record. He is current Orange Cap Holder of IPL 2016. Gayle also back in the form and in the last match against Kings XI Punjab scored 73 runs with 8 sixes. Then in the middle order the finest cricketer of all the formats AB de Villiers who is also scoring runs and is on the 3rd played in the Leading run scorer list of the tournament. Then Lokesh Rahul, Shane Watson, Sachin Baby are there in the lower batting order. So they have very depth in the batting line up.

The bowling department is little week in comparison other teams but from the last few matches, the bowlers of RCB are doing well. Yuzvendra Chahal is the most succesful bowler from their side. Stuart Binny, Shane Watson, Sreenath Aravind are also doing good with the ball. If Bangalore want to win the match with the bat as well as they have to perform good with the ball too.

Delhi vs Bangalore Toss Prediction :-

If we look at the all previous matches, the team batting second are winning matches mostly. So in the upcoming match too we will see the same trend to be followed. If we have to predict the Toss, Delhi Daredevils will win the toss and choose to field first.

Earlier encounters Head to Head Comparison :-

In the previous season, both the team faced each other 16 times and on the 10 occasions RCB defeated DD. So here Bangalore looks strong. But in IPL 2016 Delhi Daredevils defeated Bangalore with 7 wickets. So it will be tough fight today.

DD vs RCB Prediction – Who is Going into Play-offs :-

This match is important one and the final match of the league stage. The future of both the teams depends on this match. Both the team have match winners. One is known for his batting and other one is pretty much popular for their Bowling unit. So it will be hard to predict the winner of today’s match but from our team prediction Royal Challengers Bangalore will win the match and make their entry into the play-offs.

Strength, Weaknesses and Earlier Performance of Both the Teams :-

About RCB :- The starting of the tournament was not that good for the RCB. Despite of big names like de Villiers, Watson and Virat they have lost too many matches earlier in the tournament and due to which they are now in that situation that they have to win all there remaining two matches to get qualified into the next round of IPL 2016. Bangalore have played 12 matches so far and out of which they have conceived 6 wins and with 12 points, standing on 5th place in the points table. If they will win this match with fairly good difference then they will move to the 2nd position in the points table.

If we look onto the previous performance of the Royals then the starting matches was not that good but in the last couple of games they shown the world that Yes they are one of the best team of the Indian Premier League. In the match against Gujarat Lions, RCB scored 248 runs in 20 overs which is second highest run total by a team in IPL history. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers both have scored century in the match and won the match by a big difference of 144 runs. The last match against KKR, both the pair, the run machine of Bangalore stand together and took their team to the victory. They have defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 9 wickets with 8 balls remaining. So this shows how good RCB’s batsman are performing, specially Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. Virat is the current Orange Cap holder of IPL 2016 with 752 runs in just 12 innings and AB is just behind him on 2nd spot in the list with 597 runs. Virat Kohli is the first batsman who scored 3 centuries in a season of IPL. Another good news of the RCB is that the kings of Sixes Chris Gayle is back in the form, in the last match he scored 49 runs in 31 balls and shows the opponents that he is back with his big, sky kissing sixes. There is very good depth in their batting. Shane Watson, Lokesh Rahul, Sachin baby are the next one who can also score good runs in need for the team.

The bowling is always a problem for the Bangalore team. But from last few games we have seen some improvement in the bowling unit. Shane Watson, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sreenath Aravind are doing well with the ball and every effecting in the last couple of games. Specially Chahal is very impressive with this spinning balls. When ever Captain call him to bowl he successfully gave the breakthrough. But they need much improvement into their bowling unit. If they want to win this upcoming Royal Challengers vs Bangalore vs Kings XI Punjab Match then they have to give good performance with the bat and the ball.

About KXIP :- In this season too, Kings XI Punjab disappointed every body with their performance. Last year they ended up the tournament at the last position on the points table and this year too they are on the 7th spot with 8 points. They have played 12 matches in the IPL 2016 and only won 4 matches. So this upcoming match will be opportunity for the KXIP to win the confidence of the fans again and gave all the entertainment to the fans they want from the them.

If we look at the performance of team, the batting order is struggling quite a bit in the tournament. The big names like Glenn Maxwell and David Miller not scored runs so far. Their bat is quiet and no winning innings from both of them. Murali Vijay the captain of the team is the leading run scorer from KXIP squad. He has scored 378 runs in 12 innings. In the previous match Hasim Amla scored 96 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad but didn’t worth it as they lost the match. Main problem with the team is their middle order. Maxwell and Miller who are one of the best batsman of their side are not scoring runs due to which the middle order getting weak and they are loosing matches. If they want to win the match against a team like RCB then they have to improve their batting any how.

The bowling department is better than that of their batting. The Mohit and Sandeep both doing good with the ball into the tournament and both the in the list of leading wicket taker of the league. In the spin attack Axar patel is there for the team who recently took the first Hat-trick of the IPL 2016. The young all-rounder Marcus Stoinis is also performing with the ball as well as with the bat.

So If KXIP want to give a tough competition to the one of the strongest team of IPL 2016 Royal Challengers Bangalore then they have to give their 100% in the upcoming RCB vs KXIP match.

Previous Encounter :

In the previous match of RCB and KXIP of IPL 2016, Bangalore won the match by just 1 Run.

Toss an Important Factor :-

As we all know 80% of the team who are batting second are winning in the IPL 2016. This is because the team who are chasing the total they all set with the strategies, they know when the run rate to be boosted up and when they have to play big shots. So the team batting second always in command. In this upcoming match between Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore, we will see the same trend to be followed.

For RCB perspective, the toss will be very crucial for them as if they have strong batting line up and they rely more on their batsman. If they won the toss then it will be great advantage for them.

Prediction: According to our toss prediction, Virat Kohli will win the toss and go for bowl first.

Key Players of both the team :-

RCB:

1. Virat Kohli
2. AB de Villiers
3. Shane Watson
4. Chris Gayle
5. Yuzvendra Chahal

KXIP :

1. Murali Vijay
2. Marcus Stoinis
3. Glenn Maxwell
4. Axar Patel
5. Sandeep Sharma

RCB vs KXIP Match Prediction :-

Both the team have talented players and match winners. But if we look at the performance and the ability of their individual players than according to our Prediction the winner of the match will be Royal Challengers Bangalore. They are in great form and recently won 2 games back to back which boosted up the confidence of whole team. So from our point to view RCB will win the match. But anything can happen into the cricket, specially in T20 cricket.

What you think who will win in the upcoming match. Virat Kohli (RCB) or Murali Vijay (KXIP) ?

Earlier Performance of KKR and RCB in the IPL 2016

About Royal Challengers Bangalore :-

If we look on the all 8 teams, RCB is the team who has one of the strongest  batting line up and we have seen how brutally their batsman hits the ball and destroy the bowling spell of the opponent bowlers. The four batsman on which their full batting performance depends. First is Mr. consistent, the run machine, the captain of Bangalore team Virat Kohli who is current orange cap holder of IPL 2016 with 677 runs in 11 innings with 3 centuries which is a record in IPL history. The sixer king Chris Gayle who’s bat is quiet from a while but when he will back in the form, there will be raining sixes for sure. One of the finest cricketer of all format, specially in T20 format he is brilliant with his bat and also in the filed, he is South African batsman AB de Villiers who has scored 129* runs recently against Gujarat Lions and with total 538 runs in 11 innings is on 3rd position in the leading runs scorer list. The fourth one is the Australian all-rounder Shane Watson, he is doing extremely good with the bat as well as with the ball. In the slog overs his ability of hitting big shots make RCB to put big total on the board. There are few more batsman who is also showing their talent like Lokesh Rahul who is very consistent too, scored 332 runs in just 8 innings. Also batsman like Sachin baby and Sarfraz Khan added much more strength to the team batting line up. They have the strongest batting order among the other for sure and in the last match they have shown to the world that yes they believe in their batting and scored second highest total of Indian Premier League of 248 runs in 20 overs. Two batsman Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers scored their hundred in the match against GL.

One thing in which they struggled in every match of IPL 2016 is their bowling. Yes if they have good batting side, they have weak bowling side too. From last few matches bowling performance of the Royal Challengers Bangalore improved in comparison to earlier matches. Shane Watson and Yuzvendra Chahal both are very effective from the last few games. Chris Jorden also took 4 wickets against Gujarat Lions in which RCB made GL all out on just 104 runs. The new man included into the playing XI from last couple of games Sreenath Aravind impressed every one with his bowling. He can swing the ball in both the direction and was very economical so far . After the last match, RCB will be very confident with his batting as well as bowling.

If we look at the points table, so far only Sunrisers Hyderabad have qualified to the play-offs. RCB has played 11 matches, won 5 out of them and with 10 points on the 6th place in the points table. If Bangalore want to qualify to the next stage then they have to win all their 3 remaining matches which included this KKR vs RCB match too.

About Kolkata Knight Riders :-

If we look onto the contenders who can win the IPL 2016 title, KKR is one of them. They are one of the most balanced squad among the 8 teams of IPL 9. The batting as well as bowling unit quite good in terms of the performance. They have played 11 matches in the tournament so far and on 7 occasions defeated the opponent. With 14 points they are on the 2nd spot in the points table. They have to win only 1 match out of three they have remaining to get qualified into the play offs. But KKR will seek to top position since there will be an advantage to the top 2 teams. The top two teams will play first qualifier and the team loses in that match will get another chance to become IPL finalist.

If we look onto the batting order of Kolkata Knight Riders team, the opening pair of Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa are in great touch, both the batsman scoring runs for the team. But from last few matches they are loosing early wickets. The team is much dependent on both of them and if they got out early whole team comes into pressure. The good thing for them is that the Yusuf Pathan is back in the form and played many match winning innings in IPL 2016. In the last match against Rising Pune Supergiants, he was on fire and in just 5 overs chased down the 66 runs of target. Despite of 2 wickets down in the very first over, he played without any pressure scored 37 runs on just 18 balls and made his team win the match by 8 wickets. Gautam Gambhir is the leading run scorer from his team with 398 runs in 11 innings. Surya Kumar Yadav, Manish Pandey, Andre Russell, Shakib Al Hasan are there in the middle order who can bat and snatch win from the opponent single-handedly.

In the bowling department, Andre Russell is having most wicket in his bag from their squad, 15 wickets in 11 innings and few days back grab the purple cap which is now given to Mumbai Indians bowlers Mitchell McClenaghan (17 wickets in 13 innings). Umesh Yadav and Morne Morkel holding the pace attack along with Russell. If we look at the spin attack they have best spinners under their shed, Sunil Narine, Piyush Chawla, Brad Hogg are there who can easily turn up the match in a single over. So the bowling line up is all ready to bring another victory into the KKR bag. It will be tough competition in the Kolkata vs Bangalore match for both the teams and it will be tough to predict winner of the match but the team which will play good cricket with the bat and ball will win the match for sure.

Earlier Encounter: Head To head Comparison :-

If we look onto the previous season, total 16 matches have been played between both the team out of which each have won 8-8 matches which means both teams are equal in the head to head comparison. But if we look onto the previous match played in IPL 2016 between KKR and RCB, Kolkata won the match by 5 wickets. So it means the score is 9-8 now and it will be good chance for the Virat Kohli to level the score today by winning the KKR vs RCB match.

Toss : Surely an Advantage 

The team which will win the toss today will be in advantage for sure. Each of the captain will look forward to bowl first as the trend going on in IPL 2016. We have seen 80% of matches won by the team who batted second and In this match we will see the same trend to be followed.

Toss Prediction: From our prediction, Virat Kohli (RCB) will win the toss and go for the field first.

Teams Performance in the IPL 2016 :-

Lets have a look onto the performance of both the team in the ongoing season of Indian Premier League:-

If we talk about the Royal Challengers Bangalore, they have the strongest batting lineup among the other teams. Big players who are master of cricket are in their squad like the no. 1 ranked in ICC T20 cricket Ranking and one of the most consistent batsman of any format of cricket Virat Kohli, one who when came to bat big ground looks too small in front of him the great Chris Gayle, one who is the finest cricket of this era AB de Villiers, One of the best all-rounder Shane Watson and many more there. But despite of having big players they are losing matches. They have played 10 matches so far in the tournament, out of which they have won 4 matches and with 8 points they are on the 6th place in the points table. The batting unit is so powerful and yes they have putted big totals (170+ runs) in front of their opponent many times but haven’t successfully defend them expect one against Rising Pune Supergiants where RCB won the match just by 1 runs. They are lagging behind in the tournament just because of their bowling. This year Mitchell Strac is not available for them as he is recovering from the injury who was the main bowler for them and was every effective last year. Royal Challengers have tried all the possible playing XI specially with the bowlers but nothing coming into their favors. In the last match against Mumbai Indians the batting department also failed to deliver for which they know for specially top order batsman. They have only scored 151 runs in 20 overs which Mumbai Indians achieved in 18.4 overs and an easy win for them. So now they have to think about this which happened in the last match and also have to improve their bowling for the upcoming matches. RCB have to win all their remaining four matches to qualify into the play offs of IPL 2016.

In the bowling Department Shane Watson and Yuzvendra Chahal looking impressive but only 2 are not enough to win the matches. In batting department Virat Kohli doing extremely well who is current orange cap holder of IPL 2016. Also KL Rahul batting wonderfully. He has scored 332 runs in just 8 innings. AB de Villiers also contributing his talent for the team and scored 409 runs in 10 innings . Hope all these batsman score runs for the team in the upcoming match so that bowlers can fight. RCB have to score 30 runs more for their bowlers as they can’t dependent much on the bowling attack. Toss will be very crucial in the upcoming RCB vs GL Match for sure.

Gujarat Lions having wonderful season so far. They have played 11 matches in the tournament and on 7 occasions defeated their opponents. There is a time in the middle of the tournament when they have lost 3 games in a row but now GL are again back on the track and with 14 points, on the 2nd position in the IPL 2016 Points table. Suresh Raina is leading the team in a great way. Team is having good balance of batting and bowling. In the batting department the New Zealand’s Superstar cricketer Brendon McCullum is opening the innings with the west-indies cricketer Dwayne Smith. Then Aaron Finch, Suresh Raina, Dinesh Karthik, Dwayne Bravo and Ravindra Jadeja are there in the middle order. So the team is having depth in their batting order. In the bowling department Dwayne Bravo is the leading wicket taker from Gujarat Lions with 12 wickets in 11 matches, Dhawal Kulkarni and Praveen Kumar  swinging the new ball both side and are very economical so far. In the spin attack Ravindra Jadeja is there for the team and who can forget the new man with one of the unique bowling action in IPL Shivil Kaushik who has impressed everybody with his bowling performance. So they are have good combination of  batting, bowling and all rounders in their squad. The thing which needs improvement is the game of Suresh Raina. Expect one innings he has not played a big innings for his team and as he came 1st down in the batting order, he has to score some good runs, so that team can put big totals for the opponent.

Toss: Surely an Extra Advantage :-

Toss is the thing which is not in the hand of any player in the game of cricket but is the crucial one specially in limited overs format. It gives an advantage to the team to choose whether they want to bat first or ball. In IPL 2016 most of the games (almost 80%) won by the team who is batting second and in the upcoming match too we will see the team will be fielding first which will win the toss. For RCB it is very important to win the toss because they are dependent on their batting. So if they ball first and having a target in front of them they can pull out maximum from their batting unit for which they are known. Gujarat Lions will also try to win the toss and invite RCB to bat first.

Our RCB vs GL Toss Prediction : Virat kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore) will win the toss and go for the bowl first.

Update: Gujarat Lions won the toss and choose to field first and today Brendon MacCullum is the captain of Gujarat Lions as Suresh Raina is went to his home to see his new-born baby.

Earlier Encounter:-

As this is the first season for Gujarat Lions so there will be no previous season match between both the teams. But in IPL 2016 they have played 1 match in which GL defeated RCB by 6 wickets. In that Match Virat Kohli scored his first century of the Indian Premier League and recently he scored another century against Rising Pune Supergiants and became the first Batsman of IPL 2016 who have scored two hundred.

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.

Previous Battle :-

In IPL 2016 they have face each other at Wankhede where Mumbai Indians won the match by 6 wickets and Rohit Sharma was selected as man of the match. Here is the scorecard :-

In IPL 2016, too the team won the toss choose to field first and 80% of the time won the match. So in the upcoming match of RCB vs MI we will see the team winning the toss will bat first.

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Rising Pune Supergiants Match Preview :-

Lets have a look onto the RCB performance in the tournament, They have played 7 matches in the league out of which they have got success in winning the match. Bangalore team has one of the strongest batting line up among other teams. The cricket legend AB de Villiers, Australian all-rounder Shane Watson, one of the hardest hitter of the ball and who is known for his long sixes Chris Gayle and one of the most consistence cricketer of 2016 Virat Kohli are there in the squad and all are performing and scoring runs. The problem is with the bowling, yes they have worst bowing performance in the IPL 2017. They have scored 180+ runs many time in the tournament but defend only one time in front of Rising Pune Supergiants in which they won by 13 runs. They have Mitchell Strac in their squad but due to injury he his out of the tournament which weakens their bowling unit. No one bowler is looking impressive. If we look onto the names only Kane Richardson looks better among their other bowlers. They have to do lot of work on their bowling. From last two games, they haven’t score enough runs as well, de Villiers bat is quiet in these two games which is one of the reason for not boosting up the score in the slog overs. Hope in the coming match batting and bowling department will give their 100% and bring victory to the team which is much need for them. RCB is on the 7th Position in the points table with 4 points. They have played 7 match and 7 more matches still to go for them and if they want to move to the next round of the IPL 10 they have to beat RPS. Virat Kohli is the leading run scorer of the tournament so far scored 433 runs in 7 matches with 4 fifties and 1 century which is good for the team. Lets see how they will perform in the upcoming match against Rising Pune Supergiants.

The RPS team is struggling with the injury almost all big overseas players got injured and rule out of IPL 2017. First Kevin Pietersen, then Faf du Plessis injured due to fracture in his finger, after that Mitchell Marsh and just few days back the Australian captain Steven Smith out of the tournament due to injury in his wrist. So the big names are gone but Pune franchise signed Usman Khawaja and Geaorge Bailey as the replacement which strengthened the batting line up of the team. The Rising Pune Supergiants won their last match against Delhi Daredevils by 7 wickets which bring the confidence into the players if the team. Khawaja and Bailey both have played their first match of the tournament against DD and will be ready to rock the tournament in the upcoming matches. Ajinkya Rahane is the leading run scorer for the team. He score 343 runs in 9 innings with 5 fifties. Saurabh tiwary is also looking good from last two innings. So the batting is improving match by match. In the bowling department Rajat Bhatia, Ashok Dinda, Thisara Perera, Murugan Ashwin are looking good but they Key bowler R Ashwin is not impressive with the ball so far. In this season his magic with the ball is not tickling up. Hope he will be back with his magical deliveries for his team.

Rising Pune Supergaints have played 9 matches so far and only able to snatch 3 wins and faced 6 defeats. They are on the sixth position in the Points table. This match is very important for them. If they want to reach to the play-offs then  have to won this match against RCB.

Toss : How it matter :-

As we all know in T20 cricket it is advantage for the team batting second because they have to tackle the target and at which speed. In the IPL 2017 the team batting second have won maximum matches and every captain showed his interest in bowl first. So in today’s match of RCB vs RPS of IPL 2017, both the captain will look forward to bowl first.

RCB vs RPS Match Prediction: who will win?

If we look onto the previous performance Rising Pune Supergiants looking good but we all know that RCB have big names in their squad which can change the game at any moment. So if we have to predict the winner of RCB vs RPS match than we will go with the Royal Challengers Bangalore. What you think which team will win the match today ?

KKR team have played 7 matches so far out of which they have 4 matches in the bag and with 8 points on the 4th position in the points table. In the League Royal Challengers Bangalore has not performed up to the mark. The team is one of the strongest team of the league but again they are struggling with their bowling department. Mitchell Strac is not there with the team this year since he is not fit and the present bowlers are not taking wickets for their team. Bangalore team won the 2 matches while chasing and lost 4 while defending. Despite of target of 190+ runs they loosing matches. So bowling is the serious problem for the Captain Virat Kohli and the other Coaching staff. If we look on the batting order, Kohli, AB de Villiers, Shane Watson, KL Rahul are some of the players which are scoring runs for the RCB. So Batting is good, only thing which need improvement is the bowling.

Kolkata Knight Riders lost couple of games in the IPL. The main problem they face in the last few matches are with the middle order. Robin Uthappa and Captain Gautam Gambhir is scoring good runs and are in the list of Top 10 run scorer of the tournament. But the in the middle order there is no Manish Pandey as he is injured, Surya Kumar Yadav not converting his good start into a big score, Yusuf Pathan struggling with the runs. The bowling is superb specially Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav are doing very good with the ball.
