The match between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi will be a battle of equals. Both teams have 14 points from 11 matches, but Mumbai are table-toppers on the basis of net run rate (+1.252). Bangalore are third with NRR of +0.92. We have given MI vs RCB T20 prediction at the end, so stay tuned!
However, Bangalore have a slight edge over the four-time champions as they beat Mumbai in their only clash this season. Playing in Dubai, the match was tied at 201 before Bangalore pulled off a super over thriller.
In their head-to-head record, Mumbai are way ahead of Bangalore with 18 wins in 27 matches. But given the form Bangalore are in, the previous record won’t play much over their mind. Both the teams have lost their previous matches against lower-ranked teams. Bangalore lost to Chennai, while Mumbai were defeated by Rajasthan in a high-scoring encounter.
Bangalore can take the edge as Mumbai are playing without their charismatic captain Rohit Sharma, who is nursing a hamstring injury. If you want to get involved in IPL betting, this is a great fixture.
You can place your IPL satta ahead of this one.
