Preview

Another mouthwatering fixture in the Indian T20 League awaits in front of us as table toppers Mumbai will host Bangalore at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Mumbai are coming off a big defeat against Rajasthan as they  ended up at the receiving end of a brilliant century by Ben Stokes. They are well and truly leading the battle of qualifying for the playoffs within the top two spots.

Mumbai has been the best team in terms of performance and had the best bowling attack so far but got hammered in their last outing against Rajasthan. Similarly, their batting has been up and down before someone like Hardik Pandya or Kieron Pollard comes to the rescue. Their depth in batting is the biggest threat for the opposition.

On the other hand, Bangalore are placed at the third spot in the points table with 14 points under their belt. They are coming off a defeat as well but will be ready to get back on track to get that spot within top two. Their bowling has been top notch with perfect utilisation and rotation by Virat Kohli. However, the only thing making the difference for them is their scoring rate during the middle overs.

They need to decide between one of AB and Virat to take risks and go all guns blazing during the middle overs. Aaron Finch is yet to play a big knock and if he does, there would be no one to stop this batting line-up anyway.
