With three defeats in their first three games this season, the five-time IPL champion Mumbai Indians will need to play in harmony to look for a season turnaround when they face an optimistic Royal Challengers Bangalore side in an IPL 2022 encounter in Pune on Saturday.
MI lost by four wickets to Delhi Capitals, by 23 runs to Rajasthan Royals, and by five wickets to Kolkata Knight Riders. They’ve had a few individual standouts, all in the batting department, but their bowling has lacked potency. The Royal Challengers Bangalore, on the other side, have won two of their three games. RCB, led by Faf du Plessis, fell to Punjab Kings in their first game, but then went on to overcome KKR and Rajasthan.
