It’s going to be a clash against the top 2 teams in match no. 48 of Dream 11 IPL 2020. At this stage of the game when all the teams are open to finishing in the playoffs, the top 2 would want to cement their place by clinching the 2 points for the Qualifier 1. Both Mumbai and Bangalore will be stepping to this game after a defeat in their last match.
Rohit Sharma’s fitness is still an unsolved puzzle but Mumbai will look to continue their good batting form. Pandya has arrived to the party, just at the right moment for MI! RCB’s hope would be their most reliable duo AB and VK stepping up to the occasion to make the fans believe that its finally their time. Only the match will tell us which team becomes the first to qualify for the playoff. It’s going to be a mouth-watering clash with some big names in both the teams. Remember the first fixture ended on a Super over win for RCB eventually. What do you think will happen to this?
Head To Head (26 matches - MI 16 | KXIP 10)
The two teams have faced each other 26 times in the IPL so far, and MI has dominated the fixture by winning it 16 times.
Clash to top the table! We are in for a clash of titans!
The most anticipated news will be whether Rohit plays today or not. Exclusion of Rohit is most debated point after selection for Aus tour. Navdeep Saini is also doubtful starter with injury.

Stats TitBits
The Mumbai Indians (12.70) and the Royal Challengers (11.47) have the best death-overs (16-20) scoring rates of all batting teams this season.
Regarding bowlling in death overs, the Mumbai Indians (9.89) and the Royal Challengers (10.12) have the second- and third-best economy rates behind the Delhi Capitals (9.15).
Bumrah is one wicket short of 100 in the IPL and 200 in all T20 cricket.
De Villiers needs 19 runs to complete 9000 in T20 cricket, while Tiwary is 13 short of 3000.
Suryakumar Yadav definitely deserves to play for India. His strike rate has been excellent this season. Great game for Mumbai. They qualify for the playoffs.
I have no doubt Surya is an excellent player. But we need to remember what he is up against. He needs to compete against Rahul, Pant, Manish Pandey, Iyer. Also Rahane, Karun etc have been waiting in the wings for a while now. Dhavan is not going to let it go easily too.
He will need to wait till a couple of these have a real bad patch and prove is consistency in various conditions and across formats.
