We are here at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, awaiting the start of another key clash in IPL 5, where the Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Mumbai Indians. The playoffs bracket is still empty as none of the teams is yet in it. With Deccan Chargers and Pune Warriors India just completing their check-out formalities, seven teams are jostling for the top four spots in the points table, turning all the remaining 11 roun-robin games into a virtual eliminator.

Weather gods don't look too pleased today as it was raining heavily just over an hour back. And with it staying overcast, don't be surprised if we get off to a delayed start. Meanwhile, here's our preview for the game as we wait for the two captains to walk into the middle for the toss.
