Defending champions Mumbai Indians will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in their 12th match of IPL 2020 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi tonight.
Mumbai Indians with 14 points from 11 matches is at top of the points table and will look to earn yet another 2 points tonight. Mumbai Indians will be without injured captain Rohit Sharma but still, they have a solid team and the likes of Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah all match winners in very good form and if they come good then Mumbai Indians will continue doing well.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore also have 14 points from 11 matches and are coming with a disappointing loss against Chennai Super Kings and will look to bounce back in this match. They need to strengthen their batting line up as opener Aaron Finch is out of form and the over reliability on Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers can affect them and they also need to score quick runs in the middle overs. In the bowling department, Chris Morris and Yuzvendra Chahal will be key and they have Washington Sundar, Mohammad Siraj, and Navdeep Saini for the support.
