Royal Challengers Bangalore v Mumbai Indians – Match Preview

The last five meetings between RCB and Mumbai have yielded just one win for Kohli’s men. You can understand why Bangalore are the underdogs in this match.

As usual, a Bangalore lined with individual stars is going to have to combine well as a unit. Mumbai are well set across their batting and bowling.

Where: Dubai International Cricket Stadium

When: Monday, 28 September 2020

Start time: 19:30 IST (14:00 GMT)

Pitch conditions: Dubai has already had a team score of over 200 in the IPL 2020 so far. It’s also had a super-over result. The team that bat second here generally wins, but that’s not a given. Dew is a factor, and batting under lights here takes some getting used to.

Weather conditions: For the first time this season, some rain is predicted in Dubai. Wet weather might interrupt proceedings. If this happens, it’ll possibly suit the team batting second. They can chase an adjusted total against a damp ball.

Royal Challengers Bangalore v Mumbai Indians – Team News

It might be time for RCB to make a couple of key changes. Getting Parthiv Patel in at the top of the order ahead of Devdutt Padikkal is one. All-rounder Isuru Udana in for Dale Steyn is the other.

Udana would add that something extra to the batting order – and is seam is possibly a better option than the outright pace of Steyn.

Mumbai will continue to play without Lasith Malinga, who is out of the whole tournament. Their XI is quite settled, with Krunal Pandya and Hardik Pandya at the core of the all-rounders.

Rohit Sharma will continue to open the batting with Quinton de Kock throughout the IPL 2020, he says.

Royal Challengers Bangalore v Mumbai Indians – Betting Tips and Prediction

Today’s IPL match betting tips are compiled by our team of experts. We have been following the tournament closely and know the betting trends and form of the players.

Keep Kohli Close for RCB Top Batsman Market

Captain Virat Kohli was very poor against the Kings XI Punjab. He failed with the bat, dropped two straightforward catches and lost the match.

He’s a superstar of the tournament and world cricket in general, though. There’s no keeping him down and he’s a good price at 3.24 to be the top batsman for RCB in this match with Bodog India.

Bodog India have Kohli in other markets, too, such as the player of the match. Have a look.

Pick Pattinson to Be the Top Bowler for Mumbai

While some other Australians are struggling in the IPL so far, James Pattinson is fitting in well. He was a late replacement in the Mumbai squad for Lasith Malinga.

He has slotted straight into the XI and is bowling well, mixing his pace and varying his lengths. This is key for any bowler to succeed in these conditions.

10CRIC have Pattinson priced at 4.0 to be the top bowler for Mumbai. Based on his current form, this could bring great value.

Bet on a Bowler to Take Four or More Wickets for the First Time

The IPL has had plenty of three-wicket hauls this season, but no bowler has yet taken four. This match is shaping up nicely for the tournament’s first four-for.

There are a variety of really good bowlers involved, against batsmen who are still finding their feet. 22Bet’s price of 10 for this to happen is particularly attractive.
