India has always been happy hunting
ground for the big teams in the
Indian Premier League. Mumbai Indians couldn't win even a single
game in UAE but registered a comfortable victory in their first match at
Wankhede. The same could be said about Royal Challengers Bangalore, who ended
their three-match losing streak recently that too at their home ground.
Both teams will play against each other in today's match. Is it going to be two
in two for Mumbai at home or are we going to see RCB's dominance.
Mumbai Indians
Their batsmen finally came to the party in the last match against Kings XI Punjab. They had to chase a big score and lost some early wickets but this didn't hampered their confidence as they cruise to their first win of the season. C Gautam, Rohit Sharma, Corey Anderson, Kieron Pollard and Aditya Tare played their part with mere perfection. It was a brilliant effort from the Indians batters, who played quite a few good looking shots. From start to finish, they looked like the winning team. The latest result is enough to boost their confidence for the remaining matches, which could make things difficult for the rivals. Fast bowlers are bowling beautifully but Harbhajan Singh needs to pull up his socks in the spin department.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
AB de Villiers was the only reason behind their dramatic win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The team had almost lost before AB played one of the best innings in the history of the IPL. The problem for Challengers have been their poor display in the batting department. We haven't seen even a single batsman who has scored on a consistent basis. Yuvraj Singh, Virat Kohli, Parthiv Patel, Chris Gayle and even AB de Villiers have failed to score runs in every game. I know AB was fabulous in the last game but his team need more runs from him rather one or two big effort. Bowling has been their strong point with some exceptional performances. Mitchell Starc has bowled well and spinning sensation Chahal has been a revelation for them so far.
Verdict
Its 50-50 for both teams as they are struggling to play consistent and smart cricket.
