RCB vs MI Live Streaming: The second game of Saturday’s doubleheader will see Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) play Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. Both teams have had contrasting fortunes so far in IPL 2022.
Mumbai, led by Rohit Sharma, were rocked in their last outing against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Thanks to a 15-ball 56 runs carnage from Pat Cummins. The five-time IPL champions, who are known to be slow-starters, are yet to find their mojo in the competition.
MI have had a couple of positives. But will have to come out and perform as a unit against RCB, who clinched a thrilling win against Rajasthan Royals in their last fixture.
The 36-year-old Dinesh Karthik has been in sublime form in IPL 2022, playing some blazing knocks. Faf du Plessis and Shahbaz Ahmed have also contributed to the winning cause. All eyes will be on former captain Virat Kohli, who has been short of runs so far in the tournament.
