In the 14th match of Indian Premier League (IPL 2018), Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI), winless in the tournament so far, will aim to score their first points by beating Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in today’s match to be played at Wankhede Stadium.

Both teams, with several explosive batsmen, are yet to find their feet in IPL 2018 and would be keen to gather some momentum with a victory at Wankhede.

Currently at the bottom of the Vivo IPL points table, Mumbai Indians have lost all the three matches they have played. First, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat MI in the IPL 2018 season opener, then Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated them, and in the latest, Mumbai lost to Delhi Daredevils.

The batting department of Mumbai Indians failed in the first two games, and when that clicked, bowlers seemed to have lost their tune. So, in order to change their fortunes in the today’s match, Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians will have to be careful about many small things on the ground. In the today’s match, they would like to turn the tables around with some good performance towards the end, as Mumbai lost all three of its encounters so far in the last over.
