IPL 2017, Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Lions: 5 winning factors

#5 Weak-link

Can Finch and co. deal with RCB’s spinners?

As potent as Royal Challengers Bangalore are with the bat, their bowling hasn't quite come together yet. Tymal Mills has struggled for consistency while Chahal and Badree offer a similar kind of approach. Negi isn't very dependable with the ball while Aravind hasn't generated enough swing or pace to confuse the batsmen.

All in all, against McCullum and co. Bangalore will have to over rely on the two leggies at their disposal. If that plan fails, do they really have a plan B in place?

Gujarat Lions might have a few chinks in their bowling but that has been somewhat covered up with the smart bowling of Tye and Thampi at the death.

Their major issue might be that their three top-order foreign batsmen are all poor players of leg-spin. RCB have two at their disposal and knowing that there are just two lefties in the top six isn't quite good news for the Lions line-up.
