Chennai is one of the pitches which has assistance for the slower bowlers and the ball might get some turn on this track. Pacers might enjoy the swing in the air due to ocean breeze in the early parts of the match. We can expect the scores to be around 160-180 runs in this match.
Toss: To Bowl
Chasing teams have been hugely successful in the T20 matches off late and both captains will look to chase the total in the opening match.
MI vs RCB
Winning Prediction
Mumbai Indians has one of the most complete teams with a lot of depth in both batting and bowling departments. The only weakness in the armory is they failed to win their first matches in the last 3-4 seasons and they will look to end this unwanted record streak. RCB has a strong batting in the top-4 positions and will rely on the all-rounders in the mower order batting and bowling departments. RCB bowling has been guilty of leaking runs and hop they come good this year. But, we expect Mumbai Indians to win this match.
