A confident Royal Challengers Bangalore would like to carry their winning momentum when they take on Mumbai Indians today at Dubai International Stadium. On the other hand Mumbai Indians would like to open their account in points tally. In the last match, Mumbai players like Michael Hussey, Rohit Sharma and Ambati Rayudu couldn't perform well. Even all-rounders Kieron Pollard and Corey Anderson failed to make a good impression. The game-changing all-rounders will have to quickly get their act together to help Mumbai get better results. Bowling was one of the worrying aspects for Mumbai in the first game. Apart from Malinga, who got 4 for 23, no other bowler made an impact.
For Bangalore, Chris Gayle is probably ready to comeback in the side as an opener. Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh looks in good touch. Bangalore skipper Kohli is very consistent while Yuvraj again showed his ability to take the game away from the opposition in a matter of few overs.
Can Mumbai put up a better show against the upbeat Challengers on Saturday at the Dubai International Stadium today?
