M.Chinnaswamy Stadium - Bengaluru

Both teams have faced each other in 31 matches till now, with the CSK prevailing in 21 of those matches. RCB has managed to win just 10, while 1 game had no result.

Virat Kohli scored his second consecutive half-century and his third of the season to power RCB to a total of 174 in the first innings. Faf Du Plessis, Mahipal Lomror, and Glenn Maxwell have all got runs under their belt and will be feeling quite confident as they take on an average bowling attack of the Super Kings. However, the lower middle order hasn’t been in the best of forms this season. Dinesh Kartik, who hardly faltered in the last season, has scored 2 ducks in his 4 outings and has struggled to middle the ball. Vijaykumar Vyshak made a dream debut in the match against the Delhi Capitals as he picked up 3 wickets for just 20 runs. He, along with Hasaranga, is likely to play a key role in this match. The pace attack for the RCB looks pretty good too, thanks to Mohammad Siraj, Harshal Patel, and Wayne Parnell.

It has been a rather inconsistent start for the 4-time Champions as they have lost 2 of their 4 matches so far. MS Dhoni will be pretty disappointed with the outcome of their previous match as despite being achingly close to defeating the Rajasthan Royals, they fell short by 3 runs and faced their second defeat of the season. With the top order consisting of Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Ajinkya Rahane looking in good form, the Super Kings will be hoping to get a good start from them here. However, Shivam Dube and Ambati Rayudu haven’t been in the best of forms with the bat so far and will be looking to get some runs under their belts here. With the seamers not doing well, there will be added pressure on Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali to perform in the middle overs. 

PITCH AND CONDITIONS

The Chinnaswamy Stadium offers an excellent pitch to bat on and we are likely to see another high-scoring contest. While no total can be considered a safe total here, the teams batting first will be looking to score over 200 runs.

RCB will be lead by Faf du Plessis will once again lead the team and he has a potent arsenal of world-class players at his disposal. Virat Kohli will undoubtedly be the team’s most important batsman in the team. Glenn Maxwell has recovered from his injury and is likely to be available for the entire season. However, the injuries of Rajat Patidar and Josh Hazlewood come as a big setback for the team.He will be replaced by either Finn Allen or Anuj Rawat at the top of the order while Dinesh Kartik will once again take up the role of a finisher.In absence of Hazlewood, the new-ball duties will fall on Mohammad Siraj and Harshal Patel, while the inclusion of Reece Topley gives du Plessis an extra seam option. Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga missed out on the Purple Cap in the last season by just 1 wicket.

The Mumbai Indians are the most successful franchise in the history of the IPL, lifting the title for a record 5 times. However, they had a terrible time in the last season, finishing at the bottom of the points table and failing to make it to the playoffs for a second consecutive time. Jasprit Bumrah is set to miss the entire season due to an injury and Jhye Richardson too will join him in the infirmary. In their absence, Jofra Archer will shoulder much of the pace duties but he doesn’t have much support in the form of quality local seam bowlers. tthe team has a strong top order thanks to the likes of Rohit Sharma, Surya Kumar Yadav, and Ishan Kishan, the departure of Kieron Pollard leaves a big dent lower down the order.Tim David is expected to take up the role of a finisher in the team but he lacks the all-round abilities of Pollard.The Mumbai Indians do have some big hitters in the form of Cameron Green and Tristan Stubbs

PITCH AND CONDITIONS

The pitch at the Chinnaswamy Stadium is a batting paradise and has hosted quite a few high-scoring encounters in the IPL.The average first-inning score here is around 170, but teams batting first will be looking to score closer to 200 to give their bowlers some cushion.
