The caravan of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League will move to the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, where former champions Mumbai Indians will lock horns with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in what is a pretty crucial fixture for both sides.
Both sides are stranded in a middle-table tussle thanks to inconsistent performances, and as the race to the playoffs heats up, neither can afford another blip.
The previous fixture between MI and RCB was won by the latter, but this time, it won't be as easy for the Faf du Plessis-unit as they face the prospect of combating an all-conquering middle-order of the home side.
RCB have won 4 out of their last 5 encounters against MI, but their record at Wankhede is poor. In 9 outings, they have only managed 3 wins.
MI, meanwhile, have endured mixed fortunes at their fortress, winning 2 out of their first 4 fixtures.
