After kickstarting their campaign with a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the Royal Challengers Bangalore ran into a red-hot KL Rahul, whose century took the game beyond the RCB batsmen’s reach. A couple of dropped catches by Virat Kohli would have hurt them just as much as their top-order collapse, and they’ll have enough to ponder over – from team selection to match-specific roles.

For the Mumbai Indians, a rusty start in the opening game led to a loss against Chennai Super Kings, but they bounced back with a comfortable victory against Kolkata Knight Riders, where skipper Rohit Sharma hit a 54-ball 80 and the bowlers combined to topple the KKR batsmen in their chase. They’ll look to carry the winning momentum against the faltering RCB side, with one eye on the net run-rate.

MI vs RCB IPL 2020 Dream11 Fantasy Tips

Key Player: MI

The cameo in the first game showed that Hardik Pandya is close to reaching his old self, and while he isn’t feeling fit enough to bowl yet, he could be the difference between the two sides with his power-hitting in the middle overs. Kohli will have to smartly use his bowlers at the death against Pandya, with Pollard to follow.

Key Player: RCB

After two matches with unflattering returns, Virat Kohli could be in for a big one against Mumbai. Kohli stitched a brief stand with de Villiers in the first game, and fell for 1 in the second clash, but the highest run-getter in IPL history might just hit the right tunes against the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai.
