Bangalore Royal Challengers vs Mumbai Indians 52nd IPL 2010 Match at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore
On Apr 17th, 2010 16:00 IST | 10:30 GMT Onwards
The top two teams in the points table take on each other as the action shifts down south where Mumbai take on Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy stadium. While Mumbai have maintained a certain degree of consistency throughout the tournament and have been at the top of the table, Bangalore have fallen prey to inconsistencies despite having made a good start.
The two teams match each other in the batting department. While the Mumbai batting boasts of master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, Sourabh Tiwary, Ambati Rayudu and Dwayne Bravo, Bangalore match them with Jacques Kallis, Robin Uthappa, Rahul Dravid, Kevin Pietersen and Manish Pandey. The one worry for Bangalore would be the form of Kieron Pollard. The Trinidadian has started to show his true colours and a cameo from him has the potential to spoil the home side’s party plans.
Bangalore bowling has also been quite good in the tournament. Led from the front by their skipper Anil Kumble, the bowlers namely Dale Steyn, Praveen Kumar, Vinay Kumar and Jacques Kallis have always delivered in crunch situations. Kumble himself has bowled spectacularly, having taken 11 wickets, giving away just 6.23 runs per over.
All-in-all another mouth-watering clash on the cards and assuming that Mumbai will try and test some of their bench guys, Bangalore will have some advantage first-up.
