MI vs BLR IPL Dream11 Team Prediction Grand League 22 Crores Mega Contest, 28 October

MI vs BLR Dream11: The Match 48 of the Indian Premier League 2020 will witness Mumbai Indians lock horns against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both the teams have the same number of wins, but due to the superior net run-rate of MI, they are at the top of the points table.
The last time they met, it resulted in a super-over. The main positives for the MI team have been the batting department, who has provided a boost to the team in each match. With a good score on the board, bowlers have also stepped up to create optimum pressure and seal the victory. In the last match, Surya and Kishan stitched a good partnership in the top-order, while Tiwary and Hardik provided significant contributions to help the team to score an above-par score. But, the bowling department was not able to contain the opposition batsmen, and James Pattinson remained the only wicket-taker.
On the other side, Bangalore has been impressive in the tournament throughout, especially the bowling unit performing well to pick regular wickets at an economical rate. Although, in the last match, they were overshadowed by the CSK batting unit. The duo of Finch-Padikkal is being unable to provide a good start for the team. Then, the onus lies on Kohli and De Villiers who have been terrific in pressure situations. While Morris and Chahal have been the pick of the bowlers who have been commendable for the team. It would be interesting to see which team inch closer to the playoffs stage in the MI vs BLR Dream 11 prediction.
