The Clash for redemption

MI vs RCB Probable Playing XIs

MI: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Tim David, Mohammad Nabi, Romario Shepherd, Piyush Chawla, Gerald Coetzee, Jasprit Bumrah [Impact Sub: Akash Madhwal].

Match Win Prediction

This is a close call. MI’s win against DC and home advantage at Wankhede give them a slight edge. However, RCB’s batting prowess, especially with Kohli in top form, shouldn’t be underestimated. Experts predict a high-scoring match with a narrow margin of victory. Although MI bowlers have more potential than RCB’s unsettling bowling line-up. Home advantage will definitely benifit MI.
