Fantasy value from pitch report

MI vs RCB Fantasy Cricket Tips

Mumbai Indians Heavy Fantasy XI

• Rohit Sharma has been in a good rhythm for the Mumbai Indians. Barring Sharma, Tilak Varma has been super consistent for them in IPL 2024. If you are going for an MI-heavy fantasy XI, these two will be your safe choices. 
• Suryakumar Yadav made a comeback from injury in the last game and did not fire as per expectations. However, SKY will look to make a statement with his bat and might be a differential choice for the fantasy contests of the game. 
• In the case of the bowlers, Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah have the most number of dismissals from the team. If MI is bowling first, you can keep both of them in your fantasy XI, but if they are defending, then Jasprit Bumrah should be your go-to pick. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Heavy Fantasy XI

• Virat Kohli has been in great form in IPL 2024. He is scoring runs in every match and is the biggest pillar of RCB batting. Therefore, Kohli should be a must-pick in an RCB-heavy fantasy XI. 
• Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell have been the biggest disappointments for RCB in IPL 2024. Among these two, you can back Faf as he has looked in good rhythm even though he does not have a big score under his name. However, Maxwell is a game changer if he gets his rhythm back, and even though in his current form, he is a very risky choice, he might turn out to be highly rewarding.

MI vs RCB Winner Prediction

The infamous MI batting line-up gained form in the last match against DC. They seem to have the momentum with them and that could be a big plus at their home ground. However, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have dominated this clash in the recent past, with four wins in the last five games. It promises to be an exciting clash, with the team batting second having a slight advantage. 

MI vs RCB Top Player Picks

Rohit Sharma (MI)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 118 Runs in 4 Innings
• The Indian skipper is yet to play a big knock, fitting his reputation in IPL 2024. However, Rohit Sharma has looked good with the bat and he has the rhythm with him. He just needs to convert a start, and this could be that game. 

Jasprit Bumrah will be a key player for MI in this game [AP Photos]

Jasprit Bumrah (MI)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 5 Wickets in 4 Matches
• The Indian speedster has bowled economically in IPL 2024. Even though he has not picked up wickets in bunches, Bumrah has been his team's best bowler. If MI is defending a target in this game, then Bumrah could be a decisive choice. 

Virat Kohli (RCB)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 316 Runs in 5 Matches
• The Indian superstar has shown great consistency in this edition of the IPL. Virat Kohli has scored runs in almost all the games and irrespective of the toss, Kohli will be a must-pick from the RCB team.

MI vs RCB Differential Picks

Suryakumar Yadav (MI)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 0 Runs in 1 Match
• Suryakumar Yadav, the T20 superstar, made a comeback from injury in the last MI game against DC. It was a much-anticipated return but anticlimactic; SKY failed to get off the mark. However, he will look to make an impact for his team in this game and could be a crucial choice for the fantasy contests.

Glenn Maxwell (RCB)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 32 Runs and 4 Wickets in 5 Matches
• The Australian all-rounder has done a decent job with the ball in the last two matches. However, Maxwell has been having a miserable time with the bat in this tournament. But it must be remembered that he is a game-changer when he gets going, and that big knock could come in any game, making him a highly rewarding choice. 

MI vs RCB Fantasy Expert Advice

Given the expected nature of the wicket and the strengths of the two teams, a 1-5-2-3 or a 1-3-4-3 combination will be ideal for the game.
