Bangalore faces Mumbai for the second time in this year's IPL at the M Chinnaswamy stadium on Tuesday.

Both the teams have not had a decent start this year, but are playing every single card to bring their campaign back on track.

But, Bangalore have suffered a huge blow after AB de Villiers fell sick and was out for the two games.

He was replaced by Manan Vohra, who failed to perform in the first match. He was sent back to the pavilion without opening his account.

But things were not same in today's clash against Mumbai.

Vohra opened for Bangalore and played a blistering knock to give his team an upper hand against Mumbai.

In 31 balls, Vohra made 45 runs which included two fours and fours sixes.

He was supported by Quinton de Kock, who failed to leave any mark in today's game.

Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl at Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday. He has taken the decision to take the advantage of the pitch as it is very dry and has a lot of cracks which supports the bowlers.

For Mumbai, Ewin Lewis is not playing as he has injured his wrist and Kieron Pollard has been included in the squad for tonight's match.
