BLR vs MI Dream11 Prediction: It will be a battle between two heavyweights as Mumbai Indians will square off against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 18th match of the IPL 2022.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have made a decent start to the new campaign as they sit 5th in the points table with 2 wins and a single loss in 3 matches. They lost their opening game to Punjab Kings by 5 wickets but bounced back in style by winning the next two games against Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals by 3 wickets and 4 wickets, respectively. The Reds haven’t been convincing so far but they are getting the job done. They will like to continue their winning run and complete the hat-trick of wins.
On the other hand, everything is looking downhill for Mumbai Indians. The five-time champions are 9th in the points table with three losses in three games. The Blues are in desperate need of a win and they must get their issues straight if they want to open their account. If they have recovered from Pat Cummins’ assault the other night still remains to be seen.
