Key Stats
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Viray Kohli has scored 81, 23* & 28 in his last 4 innings.
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Devdutt Padikkal has scored 318 runs (S/R 200.00).
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar has returned figures of 3/26, 3/5 and 3/28 in his last 5 matches.
- Mumbai Indians’ Ryan Rickelton has scored 123*, 37 & 83 in his last 3 knocks.

- Mumbai Indians’ AM Ghazanfar has taken 12 wickets in his last 7 matches.
Match Analysis
The Royal Challengers have relied a lot on the heavy lifting at the top of the order by Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal, but they need the rest of the top order to weigh in consistently. Mumbai’s results have been poor but their opening pairing of Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma are back in tandem again after Sharma’s return from injury and they immediately hit a winning note against the Super Giants.
The pitch in Raipur is likely to offer a high-scoring opportunity and with the respective batting line-ups it should be expected that the two teams should combine to hit around 20 sixes with scores north of 190.
The red soil should provide consistent bounce and pace, which will encourage batters to play their strokes. The smaller than normal boundaries will add to the anticipated high innings scores.
With dew expected in the evening captains are likely to look to bowl first to give their bowlers and fielders the better conditions with which to work with the ball. The weather report is for a clear and hot day with the heat heading over 35°C from the start of the match, with the evening temperature cooling to just below 30°C.
Betting Markets to Watch
Result
Both sides have had a poor run in their last five matches, but the Royal Challengers have the better season record, a powerful squad and home ground advantage, even though it’s a ground they don’t play at often. Backing them to avoid three defeats on the trot feels like the right call against a Mumbai side that has lost seven of their eight matches this season.
Best Mumbai Indians Batter
Ryan Rickelton has scored heavily in his last three innings and is 8th in the IPL runs list with 380 runs at an average of 54.3. He looks a good bet to top score for the Mumbai Indians.
Score Over/Under Runs
Devdutt Padikkal has scored 55, 34*, 40 and 34 in his last four innings and is worth backing to score 21 runs or more against Mumbai.
Take Over/Under Wickets
AM Ghazanfar has figures of 2/21, 2/31, 2/17, 2/25, 2/51, 1/40 and 1/50 in his last seven matches and is worth backing to pick up more than one wicket in this match.
