Mumbai Indians will sweat on the fitness of Rohit Sharma
Royal Challengers Bangalore come off the back of a small rough patch that has seen them stuck at third position in the points table. The Virat Kohli-led unit has been bullish this IPL, but the last few games haven’t quite gone their way. They will know that qualification is still not a guarantee as they take on table-toppers Mumbai Indians. RCB have better odds of 2.00 to win this fixture.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, lost a humdinger to Rajasthan Royals last game and are sweating on the fitness of their regular skipper Rohit Sharma. While he was seen smashing it at the nets, there is no guarantee that Rohit will play this fixture. That might mean Kieron Pollard leading them out again and Mumbai are still strong enough to have better odds of 1.80 to win this game.

Keep an eye on…
AB de Villiers: In sizzling form this season, the South African is RCB’s best bet to pull one over Mumbai Indians. De Villiers has managed to score runs quickly and effectively and Mumbai, despite having the resources to stop him, will sweat over his form. AB de Villiers vs Mumbai bowlers in the death could decide this contest.
Quinton de Kock: Mumbai also have a South African in form at the top of the order in wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock. The southpaw has made some quickfire knocks from the top and in the absence of Rohit Sharma becomes a vital cog in the Mumbai batting line-up.
TIP: Mumbai have the more reliable six hitting resources and have odds of 1.80 to hit the highest number of sixes.
