Royal Challengers Bangalore
A confident looking Royal Challengers Bangalore would like to carry on the winning momentum in their second match against Mumbai Indians. This star filled franchise defeated Delhi Daredevils in their first match with bowlers and batsmen contributing in the winning cause. Apart from the bowlers and Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh deserves a special mention. The struggling all-rounder scored a brilliant half century to setup RCB’s win. There won’t be any change in the batting order until and unless Chris Gayle is fit. Yuvarj Singh, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Albie Morkel are quality batsmen who can win matches single handedly that too in a span of few overs. The team management should omit Ashok Dinda, who proved very expensive in the first match. He has a habit of leaking too many runs and this has been his problem since last few seasons in the Indian Premier League.

Mumbai Indians
They lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in their opening match of this season and would be under tremendous pressure to achieve positive result. Michael Hussey has to deliver for them in the opening position while Rohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu, Corey Anderson and Kieron Pollard will have to bat sensibly in this match. T20 is all about momentum and not reckless hitting, which we saw from the Indians batsmen. Malinga, Harbhajan and Zaheer was superb but same can’t be said about other bowlers. They have to play as a collective unit against the Challengers. Sachin Tendulkar is their icon and he must have given them some tips about holding themselves in the pressure moments of the match.

Verdict
Royal Challengers Bangalore have an edge over their opponents because of better team composition but make no mistake as Mumbai Indians have the squad to bounce back from any position.
