Royal Challengers Bangalore won their last match against Rajasthan Royals, handing the opposition their first win in this IPL season. Dinesh Karthik played a counter-tracking innings to take his side over the line in a game that went right down to the wire. In a game where Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli were out early, DK took it upon himself to finish the job. RCB also will have Glenn Maxwell available for their next game.

Mumbai Indians lost their last match against KKR in Pune. They had the match in their control right till the 13th over of KKR’s innings. However, Pat Cummins played a mind-boggling innings as he helped KKR in the game with four overs to spare handing Mumbai their third straight loss of the season. Another loss and it will be very difficult for the Rohit Sharma-led side to make a comeback into the tournament in IPL 2022. They need a bit of inspiration from somewhere to make a turnaround in their campaign.
