Expect a batting wicket at Indore. That said, Punjab's batsmen might not score much against a potent Mumbai attack.
Ahead of the game, SRH has three wins from five outings while DD has two wins and as many defeats.
RCB have dealt a huge blow as AB de Villiers has been ruled out of the tie.
Both Gujarat and Bangalore, who are currently at seventh and eighth position in the rankings table, want to put their best foot forward to turn things around.
M Rahman might come in for Ben Cutting in the Sunrisers squad. David Warner has a super record v KXIP. Has scored 4 half centuries in a row against them. Rashid Khan's variations might give the Punjab middle order a hard time.
Both teams are unlikely to make changes unless injury forces them to. That said, one of Colin de or Woakes might go out for Shakib considering the Delhi wicket. We think a five bowler strategy could work well for this game. The weather too is set to be fine.
Having won just one of the four games in IPL 10, both RCB and RPS will look to fire on all cylinders at Bengaluru.
Both Mumbai and Gujarat have won their last games and it is unlikely that they would tinker with their winning combination.
Shreyas Iyer might get a look in ahead of Aditya Tare for this game. On the other hand, KXIP might not be tempted to make too many changes either.
Expect perfect batting conditions at Kolkata as we saw in the first game between KKR & KXIP. The hosts might go in with an unchanged line-up, unless they feel Shakib needs to come in for Trent Boult or Colin de Grandhomme. If fit, M Henriues might come in for Ben Cutting or M Rahman in the SRH line-up.
