The recent form of Maxwell and Nabi

Making his debut for Mumbai in the recent face-off against Delhi Capitals (DC), Nabi showcased his bowling prowess, although he didn’t have an opportunity to display his batting skills. Despite MI breaking their streak of three consecutive losses and securing their first win of the tournament, Nabi’s steady performance underscored his reliability.

On the other hand, RCB, after facing defeat in four of their initial five matches, are keen to reverse their fortunes and return to the path of victory. Maxwell, in particular, will be striving to rediscover his batting form amidst RCB’s quest for success in the tournament.
