Their most recent match was against RR which they lost by the margin of 23 runs.
ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE REVIEWS
Bangalore performed well in IPL 2021 at the league stage but lost momentum in playoff matches. They are repeating the performance of the previous edition of IPL. Will they continue winning in IPL 2022? We can predict this after some more matches. The batting order of RCB had been good in almost all matches they had played in IPL 2022. They have some big names in their batting order like Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, David Willey, Sherfane Rutherford, and Anuj Rawat and almost all these batters are performing well. Shahbaz Ahmed and Dinesh Karthik are also available to bat in the middle and last overs. Both batters were just outstanding in the most recent match against RR. Shahbaz Ahmed scored 45 runs on just 26 balls with the help of four boundaries and three huge sixes.
Dinesh Karthik was the other batter in the previous match who put some runs on the board. He remained not out after scoring 44 runs. He faced 23 balls and smashed seven boundaries and one huge six. The bowling unit of RCB is also strong and experienced and they are performing well in this tournament. Mohammad Siraj, David Willey, Akash Deep, W Hasaranga, and Harshal Patel are the leading bowlers in the squad of Bangalore. Harshal Patel was the most successful bowler in the previous match who picked one wicket in his four overs bowled out against just 18 runs. W Hasaranga and David Willey also picked one wicket each while Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep failed to pick any wicket. Akash Deep was the most expensive bowler who leaked 44 runs in four overs.
MUMBAI INDIANS REVIEWS
Mumbai Indians have a history of a slow start in IPL but their condition in IPL 2022 is very different. They had never lost three matches in a row in any IPL edition. The batting order of MI is much stronger than the other teams of IPL 2022 but we had not seen any outstanding performance till now. The big names of T20 cricket like Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Dewald Brevis, and Kieron Pollard are the star batters of Mumbai. Ishan Kishan put some runs on the board in two early matches but he failed to do so in the previous match against KKR. The captain, Rohit Sharma also had not performed well so far. Pollard was struggling in the previous matches but we saw some good power-hitting by him the previous match. He smashed 22 runs on just five balls. He smashed three boundaries during his inning and remained not out.
Suryakumar Yadav showed some outstanding batting in the previous match against Kolkata. He scored 52 runs on 36 balls with the help of five boundaries and two huge sixes. Tilak Varma also performed well and scored 38 runs. The bowling department of Mumbai had been under pressure in this tournament. They had lost previous matches due to the worst performance by the bowling department. MI has the bowlers like Basil Thampi, Daniel Sams, Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills, Tilak Varma, and Murugan Ashwin but none of these bowlers could perform well. Murugan Ashwin proved the most successful bowler with two wickets to his name. He bowled out three overs and leaked 25 runs. Tymal Mills also picked three wickets while he was charged for 38 runs in three overs. Daniel Sams picked one wicket while Basil Thampi and Tilak Varma failed to pick any wicket.
