South African Marchant de Lange is unlucky to miss after a good performance in the last match for Mumbai Indians against Chennai Super Kings. But there is no way you can keep out Lasith Malinga, who after a slow start, has got back into the groove and has emerged as one of the deadliest bowlers in the tournament.

He is Mumbai's highest wicket-taker with 15 wickets from 10 matches, while Harbhajan Singh has enjoyed a good run in IPL so far, with 12 wickets at an economy rate of 7.67.

They will the two bowlers Mumbai will looks towards to counter Bangalore's powerful batting line-up, including Gayle, Kohli and AB de Villiers.

RCB captain Virat Kohli has won the toss and elected to bat. The visitors have retained the same playing eleven.

Meanwhile, Mumbai have made two changes. Lasith Malinga comes back into the team and so does Jasprit Bumrah.

Welcome to coverage of the 46th match of the Indian Premier League between  Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede stadium, in Mumbai, on Sunday.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will have to pull out all stops to prevent the Mumbai Indians juggernaut from rolling them over in what promises to be a high-octane clash.

MI are on a splendid winning spree, clinching five wins in as many games to hold the all-important momentum ahead of their contest against RCB, who are seeking a sixth straight win that would propel them towards the play-off stage.

The brilliant show against Chennai Super Kings in the latter's bastion -- Chidambaram Stadium -- last night would certainly galvanise MI to produce another good performance against RCB who have the advantage of a well-earned rest before the difficult match.

That the brilliant six-wicket win over CSK in the latter's den came without the presence of their key death bowler Lasith Malinga, who was unable to even go to Chennai because of political reasons, is a feather in MI's well-adorned cap.

With the Sri Lankan sling-arm bowler available to reclaim his spot in the MI line-up, gangling South African pacer Marchant de Lange, who filled in the breach and played his first game, is expected to be benched.

MI's impressive display has come on the backs of quite a few match-winners like captain Rohit Sharma, big-hitting Kieron Pollard, Malinga and Harbhajan Singh.

A lot many players have been putting their shoulders to the MI's pace-gathering process in the last few games which is a very important factor in their fabulous run after tasting four straight defeats in their first four games.

However, MI face a formidable adversary in RCB, especially with the looming danger of Mitchell Starc to be confronted by their batsmen at the beginning and at the end of their innings.

The lanky left-arm pace bowler, who has claimed 16 wickets in just seven IPL games this season, has been a major factor in RCB rebounding into play-off contention after an inconsistent initial run, with his ability to take wickets and strangle the opposition.

Two other important cogs in their bowling wheel have been South Africa's David Wiese (10 wickets) and Haryana leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal (13 wickets).

Sreenath Aravind's four-wicket haul in his first game during RCB's comprehensive win over Kings XI Punjab was a timely boost to the visitors' dwindling Indian bowling stock which includes the pacy, but expensive, Varun Aaron.

In batting, RCB's main run-makers are the big three -- West Indian master blaster Chris Gayle, aggressive captain Virat Kohli and South African wizard A B de Villiers.

This trio has crossed the 300-run mark this season but the danger is if all of them fail collectively then the rest of Royal Challengers' batting looks a bit fragile.
