Preview:
Against the Delhi Capitals in their most recent encounter, Hardik Pandya’s team at last showed some maturity. The five-time winners had dropped their opening three games, but their batting order performed well as they prevailed by 29 runs in a high-scoring match. They don’t have a great record against RCB, and a victory would help Pandya improve that record and their standing in the points standings.
After an 80-run partnership in the last game, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma will try to exploit RCB’s meek bowling attack. Suryakumar Yadav aims to establish alliances with Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya in order to fortify the middle order. In the last game, Tim David and Romario Shephard combined for a winning combination that completed the team’s potent hitting order.
The bowling assault is still lacking in coherence. The team is hoping that Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah, who are the new ball pair, would perform as well as they did in their previous match. In the middle overs, Romario Shephard and Akash Madhwal need to perform well. Given that RCB has strong players, the team hopes Piyush Chawla and Mohammad Nabi perform well in supporting roles.
Full Squad:
Hardik Pandya (c), Rohit Sharma, Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, N. Tilak Varma, Tim David, Vishnu Vinod, Arjun Tendulkar, Shams Mulani, Nehal Wadhera, Jasprit Bumrah, Kumar Kartikeya, Piyush Chawla, Akash Madhwal, Luke Wood, Romario Shepherd, Gerald Coetzee, Shreyas Gopal, Nuwan Thushara, Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Mohammad Nabi, Shivalik Sharma, Kwena Maphaka.
Players to watch out for in:
Rohit Sharma

Gerald Coetzee
The bowling assault is still lacking in coherence. The team is hoping that Gerald Coetzee to perform.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (Match Odds- 2.20)
Preview:
With just one victory and four losses, Faf du Plessis’ team is in dire need of improvement. They lost by six wickets against the Rajasthan Royals in their most recent match, when both their bowling and batting statistics were in doubt. In this match, du Plessis wants his teammates to mount a formidable comeback because the team is facing certain defeat. They will want to improve on their excellent record against the Mumbai Indians.
Even if he scored a century in the previous game, Virat Kohli has to up his strike rate and perform better when Faf du Plessis is at the top of the order. The side has been greatly hindered by their middle order, and they require improved work from Glenn Maxwell, Saurav Chauhan, and Cameron Green. In the last overs, Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik had to carry the most of the load.
The team anticipates a stronger performance from Yash Dayal and Reece Topley with the new ball after the bowling attack looked inept in the last game. In the middle overs, Mohammad Siraj and Mayank Dagar need to bowl more tightly. Himanshu Sharma and Cameron Green will also need to perform well in their supporting roles for the team to succeed.
Full Squad:
Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Saurav Chauhan*, Dinesh Karthik, Anuj Rawat, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green*, Suyash Prabhudessai, Mayank Dagar*, Manoj Bhandage, Will Jacks, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Tom Curran*, Swapnil Singh*, Mohammed Siraj, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Reece Topley, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Akash Deep, Alzarri Joseph*, Yash Dayal*, Lockie Ferguson*

Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Toss Prediction:
It’s been a fantastic wicket to chase runs. Over the last few seasons, teams pursuing totals have won the majority of games. The team that wins the toss will likely try to bowl first since we anticipate this pattern to continue.
Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Pitch Report:
On April 11, there will be clear skies over Mumbai. We anticipate a high scoring game in this one. Because batters may simply knock through the line, the surface is flat and offers little opportunity for bowlers. The team batting first in the match would aim to score 200 runs or such.
Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Match Report:
This season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have had trouble both with the ball and with their strike rate. The squad needs a big performance from its senior players to win the game and maintain their prospects of moving on to the next round because the middle order has also performed poorly. The batting depth and form of the Mumbai Indians is impressive. At home, they begin to play favourites.
We predict Mumbai Indians to win the Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore match at the odds of 1.67
Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Most Recommended Player for Bet:
