Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Mumbai Indians Team Preview

Royal Challengers Bangalore

In the past three IPL seasons, Royal Challengers Bangalore has never finished outside the top four. They will be certain that they can win this game right away.

Wanindu Hasaranga and Josh Hazlewood, two of Royal Challengers Bangalore’s most effective bowlers, won’t be available for this game. Hazlewood is anticipated to miss the first seven games of the IPL 2023, therefore Hasaranga is completing the white ball international series in New Zealand.

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians still have a team consisting of match-winners of the highest caliber despite their extremely dismal 2022 season. However, this is an extremely challenging first game.

Mumbai Indians would be thrilled to have Jofra Archer back in the IPL after a dismal 2022 season. The English right-arm quick bowler, who missed the entire tournament the year before, might make a big impact on the team this time around.
