IPL 2023: Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challenger Bangalore (MI vs RCB) | Fantasy Dream11 Team Predictions | Match 05

Mumbai Indians will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday. Mumbai Indians have been rocked with injuries and injury concerns for a long time. Jaspreet Bumrah has been ruled out for the entire tournament, while there are other injury concerns for Tendulkar Jr. who will also most likely not be available for selection for the first match. While the batting looks probably the best in the tournament, Mumbai Indians will be sweating at figuring out who will be in the bowling line-up. With their acquisition of Jason Behrendorff during the transfer window made a lot of sense, but MI will be wary of the fitness level of Jason, who is prone to injuries. The arrival of a fit Jofra Archer is a great news to all MI Fans. As they are limited by bowling options, Mumbai Indians will make use of the Impact player substitute in every match.

Royal Challengers Bangalore had a great season last year and went on to play the Eliminator in 2023. The team is currently having an issue with 2 of their main players not available for selection. Maxwell, who is nursing a fracture, will be available from the next match match, while Jose Hasselwood may miss out for a longer period due to injury which saw him miss the Border Gavaskar Trophy. They will rely on the service of Faf Du Plessis and Virat Kohli to guide the batting line. Faf does not play any competitive Internationals anymore and his form will be closely monitored. The bowling line-up looks weak with Yuzi’s transfer to Rajasthan Royals. Mahipal Lomror looks a great prospect for the RCB and will play a key role.

IPL 2023:Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challenger Bangalore (MI vs RCB) – Match Prediction | Match 05

Match Prediction

With Maxwell not in the playing 11 will make the batting vulnerable in the middle order and lack of wicket taking option may put lot of pressure on the bowling squad which may then leak runs. If Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma can bring his Indian side batting form and regularly give the much needed 30-40 runs at the start, Mumbai will eye a victory here. Also remember the team is hurting with being No 10 in the last year standing.
