Weather and Pitch Conditions

  • Weather Forecast: Clear skies with temperatures ranging from 30°C and high humidity.
  • Dew Factor: Likely to be high in the second innings, which may affect the captain's decision to bowl first following a toss win.
  • Pitch Behavior: Flat track favoring batsmen; pace and bounce will be true. Bowlers will need variations to contain scoring, especially in the death overs.

Match Preview: MI vs RCB

Mumbai’s Strategy: Expect MI to back their top order to go hard in the power play and set a platform. Trent Boult’s role at the death and Pandya’s use of part-time spin might be pivotal if they bowl first.

RCB’s Game Plan: The key will be controlling MI’s top order. If Hazlewood can strike early, RCB’s middle overs will become easier to manage. Kohli anchoring while Salt accelerates will be the blueprint for a big total.
