Virat Kohli has scored just 15 runs in two games thus far. However, RCB’s pattern is expected to come out well in this match, as he rarely misses three times in a row.
Match details:
The tenth game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
This game is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM IST (06:00 PM local time) (02:00 PM UTC). The game will be broadcast on television on the Star Sports Network (available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Bengali). Additionally, the live stream will be available on Disney + Hotstar.
Advance:
The Royal Challengers Bangalore will return to the field to face the Mumbai Indians in the tenth match of the 2020 IPL. It will be Virat Kohli against Rohit sharma once again, one of those long-awaited battles. Historically, the Mumbai Indians have had a significant advantage over the Royal Challengers. While the Indians won 16 of the 25 games, the Challengers won only 9.
Furthermore, the Mumbai-based team is entering this game after an emphatic 49-run victory against the Knights Horsemen of Kolkata (KKR). Meanwhile, RCB lost to the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) by a whopping 97-run margin in their last meeting. So their NRR stands at -2,175 at this stage and that’s one area they’d like to improve on. However, it will not be so easy against MI and RCB needs to be at their best if they want to challenge this opposition.
