On the bowling front, their lead pacers, Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah performed on the expected lines, ending up with the figures of 6/56 from their eight. Tristian Stubbs had people at the edge of their seats with his 71*(25) but Mumbai kept taking wickets from the other end.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Royal Challengers Bengaluru, after having a promising game at home against Punjab Kings looked like a unit to reckon with. However, nothing has been going their way post that game. Nobody apart from Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik has been firing this season.

The age-old worry of bowlers leaking runs persists, as even Siraj, who was supposed to lead this attack has been all over the place. Reece Topley looked good in their for his 2/27 in 4 overs and Yash Dayal has been blowing hot and cold.

Bengaluru will have to fix-up things as soon as possible before another campaign derails and they would see facing struggling MI as the opportunity to turn things around.
