After winning their first match of the 2014 IPL last time out reigning champions Mumbai Indians will want to continue this run against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Mumbai lost all five of their games in the UAE, but once back in familiar territory in India Rohit Sharma guided his side to a five-wicket win over then leaders Kings XI Punjab.
The Wankhede Stadium is said to have one of the best atmospheres in world cricket and the ground acts as something of a fortress for the franchise.
However, there are still issues at the top of the order and the likes of captain Rohit and 2013 Orange Cap winner Mike Hussey are yet to find their form at the crease.
Luckily further down the order Kieron Pollard and Corey Anderson have looked solid and bowlers Lasith Malinga and Zaheer Khan have been reliably efficient.
RCB meanwhile ended a difficult period of three successive losses in their last game when they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Skipper Virat Kohli will be looking for his team to build on this victory and the Indian will be hoping explosive opener Chris Gayle can find some form after injury.
With Yuvraj Singh and AB de Villiers also in the top order it’s little wonder many think Bangalore have the best batting lineup in IPL 7.
