The contests intensifies as the IPL moving close to playoffs time with nail biting finishes in the last couple of days and the contest on Wednesday as it's all ingredients for an even and intense contest. As Bangalore face on Mumbai at the Crunch situation at Chinnaswamy.
Mumbai finding it difficult to sustain to momentum with their inconsistent performance especially with the bat, the collapse against Hyderabad was an reflection to it. The batting heavily dependent on the top.4 leading with Rohit in all their wins and parthiv seems out of touch with only couple of knocks under his belt.
Bowling wasn't up to the mark for the first time in the season with Mumbai, conceding too many runs in powerplay against Sunrises,. Although they have much depth with the ball to come back strong enough, but Hardik's poor form in this season hurting Mumbai's depth with the bat.
On the other side Bangalore won last couple of games at the crunch time with postining in the second half of the table and still have a great deal of work to be done to enter into playoffs. While batting has been the strength with Rahul making Gayle absence unaffected to the top order alongside Virat and AB's blistering knock came as a blessing against KXIP.
While bowling is still a concern for them with expensive economy rates, but Watson has been on a different planet in the RCB camp with inspiring bowling spells at crunch times and Chahal making most of his opportunities count in the second half with disconcerting the batsmen. But Jordan yet to make his mark in the IPL with his lethal yorkers.
The pitch at Bangalore well known for it's run flow and on Wednesday it may not change a bit unless there are showers. While toss gonna be crucial with the dew factor later on in the game.
Meanwhile the previous encounter between these teams won by Mumbai comfortably chasing a par score, so with the conditions on offer at Chinnaswamy Bangalore look to strengthen their bowling by axing Head for Richardson.
In the meantime Mumbai may not consider changing their combination , as contest gonna determine the damage control with the ball at the batting paradise.
