Team News
Mumbai rested a number of players for their dead rubber match against Kolkata, so expect to see many changes from that game. Tendulkar, Kieron Pollard, Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga and Zaheer Khan will all come back in, while Dwayne Bravo will likely be the most high-profile overseas player to miss out.
On the other hand RCB will consider itself lucky to find them in the semis. They must have been biting nails until KKRs scored their final run. It is just the net run rate that has seen them through and Kallis, Uthappa and KP are those that helped the team score fast runs and have decent run rate every time whether they won or lost.
Royal Challengers Bangalore also have good team with strong bench strength as Kallis giving good start followed by Kevin Pietersen, Dravid, Ross Taylor and Virat Kohli and in the end hard Uthappa is there to boost the total. Vinay and Praveen Kumar doing well along with captain Kumble.
