Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians face off each other in a must-win game in Dubai on Sunday in the second of the two games. Both the teams lost their first two games that they played in the UAE leg so far. While Mumbai lost to KKR, RCB lost to CSK. A win in this game will take either of the teams up on the points table.
RCB skipper Virat Kohli said that they lacked a few runs against CSK while adding that they need to put the losses behind and move forward. Virat Kohli scored runs but on a losing cause which at last did not have any importance to it. Kohli has struggled to pick the right team and make the right changes with the ball. A loss against Mumbai will make their campaign even more difficult going ahead.

Mumbai Indians were completely outplayed against KKR. The absence of Hardik Pandya and the lack of runs from Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan have affected their performance. The match will be played in Dubai and is the second game of the two matches on Sunday.
"This team certainly knows how to perform under pressure." 💪💙
