RCB have a strong team and temperament this time around with them winning two games on the trot after losing their opener to Punjab Kings. With the arrival of Maxwell, their batting lineup looks even more solid. Kartik has been a revolution in the side with his heavy hitting at the end of the innings. They do not have any issues on the bowling side as well with Hasaranga and Harshil Patel taking wickets in the middle and back end of the innings and Umesh Yadav breathing fire at the beginning.

Expert betting tips
The pitch suits the batsman and in early overs, the pacers can have an impact. The due will come in the latter half which will make lives difficult for the team bowling second. We are expecting Mumbai to win the content with the overhanging pressure of an early exit from the tournament. We are also expecting it to be a high-scoring affair.
