Both RCB and MI have lost their first two games in UAE and will be desperate to bounce back to winning ways in Sunday's clash at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai.

Royal Challengers Bangalore endured a shock 9-wicket defeat at the hand of KKR before losing against CSK in their last game. They are currently placed third on the points table with ten points from 9 matches and defeat tonight would seethem drop to the fourth spot.
