MI vs RCB: Batting in focus for RCB as they aim to make two-on-two wins against MI
While RCB’s bowling always hogs the spotlight, this time the batting has hogged the major limelight. Middle-order batting has failed to live up to expectations after the departure of big three Kohli, Du Plessis, and Maxwell. While Mahipal Lomror scored a scintillating half-century in the last game, RCB have consistently failed to finish well this season from a position of strength. They have also lacked consistency in the bowling, with Wanindu Hasaranga not hitting the straps.
With the business end of the tournament nearing, RCB needs the big players to step up if they harbor hopes of qualifying for the playoffs. Meanwhile, MI have struggled to get going with bat and ball in hand. Barring a few exceptional performances from a few players, MI’s top order has failed to live to up their lofty standards. Rohit Sharma’s lack of runs has become a huge cause of concern for the side.
