The Indian Premier
League (IPL) : Today the match begins with Mumbai Indians clashing with Royal
Challengers Bangalore at Wankhede
Stadium, Mumbai. Mumbai Indians face Royal Challengers Bangalore for the
first time this season. The two heavyweights have met each other nine times in
IPL and the record is almost even with five wins to Mumbai Indians. Both teams
were pre-tournament favourites, boasting intimidating batsmen and experienced
bowlers.
Royal ChallengersBangalore : Royal Challengers have five wins and five losses and they are
lingering in mid-table, trying to push their way up. Royal Challengers
Bangalore are the second fastest batting team behind Delhi Daredevils with a
strike rate of 130.71.Royal Challengers have hit the most sixes in the
tournament - 73. Most of them have come from Gayle (31) and de Villiers (14).
Royal Challengers have been overly dependent on the Gayle-de
Villiers ton. AB de Villiers made Steyn look pedestrian, taking 23 runs off his
last over. Overall, de Villiers has scored 292 runs at a strike-rate of 171.76.
With no support from the Indian contingent in the team, the responsibility of
setting up the pace would again be on him along with Chris Gayle. Kohli isnot
perfoming. their bowling attack is so poor. Murali came back in the playing Xi.
It will be interesting to se how they guyz are reacted in Mumbai.

Mumbai Indians : Mumbai's
batting has flickered between good and ordinary. All the things depend on
Sachin & Rohit shoulder.Their openers is changing regularly. Sometimes play
levi, jacobs, franklin or suman. I think
they will sticked in one combination. Mumbai Indians also have three bowlers in
the top ten list of leading wicket takers.
Lasith Malinga has been taking wickets for fun. If he can
break the Gayle-de Villiers combine -the spine of Royal Challengers' batting -
that would be more than half the job done. Three of Mumbai Indians' seven wins
have come off the last ball. They also managed another tight win against Kings
XI Punjab with only one remaining. the stage for interesting contests - Tendulkar-Muralitharan,
Malinga-Gayle, Malinga-de Villiers.
