MI vs BLR Pitch Report:

Predicted Score:

If MI bats first: 150-160

If BLR bats first: 160-170

The wicket in Chennai is generally slower than on some of the other grounds in India. However, as this is the first match of the tournament, we might also get to see a flat wicket. Both the teams could be seen using more spin on this wicket. But, considering this will be a fresh wicket, we can actually see mid-range scores on this track. The team winning the toss is more likely to bowl first to get a feel of the pitch and then, later on, chase down the total. 

MI vs BLR Dream11 Team Prediction Tips

Top Batsmen:

Mumbai Indians:

Suryakumar Yadav: The right-handed top-order batsman was seen in his best form recently in the T20I series against England. His international debut, which yielded a 31-ball 59 and a 17-ball 32 will surely give him immense confidence going into this season of the IPL. He is expected to continue his good form. 

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Virat Kohli: During the recent T20I series, Virat Kohli was in top form with the bat scoring three fifties plus scores in five innings. All those 50+ scores were unbeaten knocks. As he would be seen opening the innings for RCB, he is expected to take his good form into the IPL.

Top Bowlers:

Mumbai Indians:

Jasprit Bumrah: The right-arm pacer is by far Mumbai’s best bowler. His record in the IPL is quite incredible and he is coming back into cricket after a short break. His rhythm and consistency will be key in this match. 

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Washington Sundar: Even though he doesn’t pick too many wickets, he can keep his line and length good to ensure that the batsmen are under pressure. He took four wickets in four matches recently against England in T20 format. He can also get some runs with the bat.
