Preview:

The Royal Challengers Bangalore will be back on the field to take on the Mumbai Indians in 10th match of IPL 2020. It is going to be Virat Kohli versus Rohit Sharma once again – one of those battles that are highly-awaited. Historically, the Mumbai Indians have had a significant upper hand over the Royal Challengers. While the Indians won 16 out of 25 games, the Challengers won only 9.

Moreover, the Mumbai-based team is coming into this game after an emphatic 49-run win against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Meanwhile, RCB lost to the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) by a massive margin of 97 runs in their last encounter. Hence, their NRR stands at -2.175 at this stage and that is one area where they’d like to improve. However, it won’t be as easy against MI and RCB need to be at their best if they are to challenge this opposition.

RCB vs MI Top Picks for Today’s Dream11 Match:

Virat Kohli scored just 15 runs in two games thus far. However, the RCB skipper is expected to come good in this encounter as he rarely misses out three times in a row.

AB de Villiers mustered 79 runs in two games while maintaining a strike rate of 165.

Rohit Sharma was brilliant in the last match with 80 runs. Thus far in two games, he scored 92 runs.

Yuzvendra Chahal is amongst the leading wicket-takers in the tournament with 4 scalps in two games. Also, he has got an economy rate under 6.

Hardik Pandya only accumulated 32 runs in 2 innings. But he can be absolutely lethal once he gets going and he is unavoidable him in your side.

Jasprit Bumrah bounced back with the ball in the last match and picked up a couple of wickets even though Pat Cummins smashed him for a few runs towards the end.
