“Mumbai Indians” Can Be The Winner.

1. Team Ranking:

   As the Sunil Gavaskar – Anushka Sharma saga is almost over, Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore is set to face off against current champion Mumbai Indians in the 10th match of IPL on Monday. Both sides have won a match each but MI has their momentum due to a big win over Kolkata in their latest game. RCB will face extreme challenge. In whatever way, RCB is currently sitting in the 7th place while MI holds 3rd place in the team ranking in IPL 2020.
   

2. Home Advantage:

3. Current Form: 

   Although RCB won their first match against Hyderabad by a small margin, they endured a crashing defeat against Kings XI Punjab in their latest game. On the other hand, MI swept past KKR in their last outing and will be full in confidence for sure. RCB have to answer a lot of question ahead of this game.
   

4. Head To Head:

   Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians have played a total of 27 matches. MI managed to win massive 18 times while RCB triumphed in only 9 times. Moreover, MI become victorious 8 times in the last 10 outings against RCB. So, it’s clear to see MI is much ahead than RCB in terms of head to head clashes.
   

5. Field Condition:

   A large ground, the Dubai International Cricket Stadium has a lightning-fast outfield which actually helps batsmen to score more boundaries. Fast bowlers have to play well from the beginning because the older ball doesn’t offer assistance here.
