In match 32 of the VIVO Indian Premier League 2019 (IPL 2019), Mumbai Indians (MI) will host Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday. Virat Kohli's RCB registered their first victory in IPL 2019 by defeating Kings XI Punjab on Saturday and they'd be high on confidence with first points on the IPL 2019 points table. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians lost their last match against Rajasthan Royals despite scoring 187 runs as Jos Buttler's quickfire 89 overshadowed their efforts. As usual, It will rain runs in Wankhede so both the teams will have to pick bowlers in their playing 11 very carefully because wickets are the only key.

RCB is tight on bowlers as they usually keep just enough bowlers to complete the 20-over per side quota, hence, they'd have to bring in some variation to tackle the formidable batting line-up of Mumbai Indians in which a tail-ender can also hit a six or two.

Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma is back after missing a game due to injury and he looks good at the opening slot. Kieron Pollard is one player for whom RCB will have to devise a plan else the match will slip in no time. Mumbai is at the third spot in IPL 2019 points table while RCB is last, if RCB wins, Mumbai will lose its place while a victory for Mumbai will strengthen their position.
At Wankhede, Mumbai Indians will be clear favourite and it's upto RCB if they can gain the support of the crowd. Read Complete Article
