IPL 2023 Live: RCB Vs MI, Match 5, Bengaluru | IPL Live Scores & Commentary | IPL LIVE 2023 PREVIEW: Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to maintain their recent win performance against Mumbai Indians when the two teams play in their opening match of the Indian Premier League season in Bengaluru on Sunday. Having recorded three consecutive wins against Mumbai Indians in their last five meetings since IPL 2020, the RCB, who are once again in search of their maiden title win in the league, would want to make a winning start in front of their loyal fans at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, it remains to be seen how RCB will cope without players like Rajat Patidar and Josh Hazlewood, who both have been rested for at least the first half of this IPL. Australian Glenn Maxwell is also unlikely to feature in Sunday’s game. Mumbai Indians ended the last IPL at the last spot in the points table with only four wins to show from 14 matches. The most successful team in IPL history with five trophies in their cabinet, Mumbai will aim to put their best foot forward against the RCB side. Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma and the experienced Suryakumar Yadav will be the key players in the batting department, which now features young players such as Tilak Verma - Dewald Brevis - Tristan Stubbs and Tim David. Ishan Kishan will be expected to attain consistency with the bat as he is also the team’s earmarked wicketkeeper. While Cameron Green is a valuable addition to the team, Mumbai Indians look a bit light on the spin front with former India spinner Piyush Chawla leading the lineup that also features Kumar Kartikeya who auditioned for them last year with four matches.
