Big picture: Beware of MI's explosive middle order

Both Mumbai and RCB currently have ten points from as many games, and with the season approaching its pointy end, they will be desperate to rise above the mid-table jam.

Team news: Will Tilak be fit?

Tilak Varma had missed Mumbai's fixture against CSK on Saturday with an injury, according to Rohit. It remains to be seen if he has recovered sufficiently to play on Tuesday.

Mumbai Indians: LWWLL (last five matches, most recent first)
Royal Challengers Bangalore: LWLWW

Mumbai could bring in one of their spinners as an Impact Player in place of Suryakumar when they bowl, or vice versa.

Mumbai probable XII: 1 Ishan Kishan (wk), 2 Rohit Sharma (capt), 3 Cameron Green, 4 Suryakumar Yadav, 5 Tilak Varma/Tristan Stubbs, 6 Nehal Wadhera, 7 Tim David, 8 Piyush Chawla, 9 Hrithik Shokeen/Kumar Kartikeya/Raghav Goyal, 10 Jofra Archer, 11 Akash Madhwal, 12 Arjun Tendulkar/Arshad Khan

RCB are likely to start with Kedhar Jadhav if they bat first and replace him with Harshal Patel once he's dismissed or at the innings break.

RCB probable XII: 1 Virat Kohli, 2 Faf du Plessis, 3 Glenn Maxwell, 4 Mahipal Lomror, 5 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 6 Anuj Rawat/Shahbaz Ahmed, 7 Kedar Jadhav, 8 Wanindu Hasaranga, 9 Harshal Patel, 10 Karn Sharma/Vyshak Vijaykumar, 11 Josh Hazlewood, 12 Mohammed Siraj

Expect another easy-paced, bash-through-the-line pitch at the Wankhede. Teams chasing have won three of the four games so far at the venue this season. The weather is expected to be fine for the duration of the match.
