Mumbai Indians v Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Mumbai Indians last match was at the Wankhede Stadium against the Delhi Capitals. The Capitals won the toss and sent Mumbai into bat, a decision they would regret as Mumbai reached 234 for 5 in their 20 overs. There were significant contributions from a number of batsmen and Rohit Sharma was the top scorer with 49 off 27 balls at the top of the order.
The Delhi Capitals chase began well and they were 110 for 1 in the 12th over when the wickets started to tumble. They ended on 205 for 8 handing victory to Mumbai Indians by 29 runs. Gerald Coetzee was the pick of the bowlers with 4 for 34 off his 4 overs.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru were last in action away to the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur and it was the Royals who won the toss and chose to field first. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru finished on 183 for 3 with Virat Kohli scoring 113 at a strike rate of 156. RCB were made to regret not pushing hard in the middle of the innings though as the Rajasthan Royals chased the score down with 5 balls to spare and 6 wickets in hand. Topley was the pick of the bowlers with his 2 for 27 in his 4 overs.
Head-to-Head

Mumbai Indians 7/10
Royal Challengers Bengaluru 12/10
Suggested Bet: Mumbai Indians Total 6’s over 10.5 at 11/10
Mumbai Indians have run into some good form and they have plenty of players who clear the boundaries and in their last match 5 of their 7 batsmen who came to the crease got at least 1 six and they ended up with 14 in total.
Suggested Bet: Bowler Total Match Wickets, Coetzee over 1.5 at 9/4
Coetzee is constantly in the batsmen’s faces and although he can go for runs on occasion he is the type of bowler who tends to pick up the wickets. I am happy to take this price that he gets 2 or more in the match.
