MI vs RR Team Previews

Mumbai Indians

With nine losses in thirteen matches, the Mumbai Indians are eliminated from the race to the playoffs and are placed ninth on the points table. Nevertheless, the team will look to win here to avoid the wooden spoon.

The batting from the Mumbai Indians has been inconsistent throughout the season. Ryan Rickelton is the team’s leading run-scorer with 436 runs. However, barring a couple of half-centuries and a century, he hasn’t been able to convert his starts into big knocks. It is a similar story with Tilak Varma.

The others, including Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Will Jacks, haven’t been able to live up to the expectations, and that has been one of the key reasons for the team’s poor performance. The inconsistencies continue in the bowling department as well.

Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, and Deepak Chahar have failed to pick up wickets with the new ball and have failed to apply pressure on the opposition. Shardul Thakur and Corbin Bosch have booked better in comparison, picking up 21 wickets between them. Allah Ghazanfar is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 14 wickets.

Mumbai Indians Expected Playing 11

Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (WK), Hardik Pandya (C), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Will Jacks, Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Raghu Sharma

Impact Player: Shardul Thakur / Allah Ghazanfar

Rajasthan Royals

After a string of mediocre performances, the Rajasthan Royals bounced back on Tuesday to defeat the Lucknow Super Giants by chasing down a massive total with relative ease. The win earned them two important points, which helped them climb to fourth place on the points table.

A win here will ensure that RR reaches the playoffs. However, if the team loses here, they will have to depend on the outcome of a few other games.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been in sensational form for the Rajasthan Royals. He scored his third half-century of the tournament on Tuesday and is now the leading run-scorer of the season. Sooryavanshi will look to give Rajasthan a strong start as he joins Yashasvi Jaiswal in the opening slot.

Dhruv Jurel has been in fine form as well, scoring five half-centuries, and is a vital cog in the middle order. He will be joined by Donovan Ferreira, Shubham Dubey, and Dasun Shanaka. Riyan Parag has missed a couple of games due to a niggle, but the team will be hopeful of his return for this important fixture.

Rajasthan’s bowling has been a bit inconsistent, and that is one area where the team will look to improve. Jofra Archer is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 18 wickets. However, he will need better support from Brijesh Sharma and Sandeep Sharma. Yash Raj Punja picked up a couple of wickets in the previous match and is likely to retain his place in the playing XI.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel (C & WK), Donovan Ferreira, Shubham Dubey, Dasun Shanaka, Jofra Archer, Sandeep Sharma, Brijesh Sharma, Yash Raj Punja, Lhuan-dre Pretorius

Impact Player: Ravi Bishnoi / Riyan Parag

MI vs RR Toss Prediction

In 9 of the last 10 games played here, the team winning the toss opted to bowl first. We expect that trend to continue.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Mumbai is likely to be good to bat on. The average first-inning score here over the last couple of seasons is around 200. The pitch is flat and hard, and offers true pace and bounce. The quicker bowlers can expect some help early in the innings. However, the batsmen will be able to play their shots once they settle down. The spinners need to be careful with their line and length, as playing across the line is easy.

The weather is expected to remain warm and humid with temperatures around 33 degrees.

MI vs RR : Who Will Win?

We are backing the Rajasthan Royals to win this match. They have a strong batting line-up, especially when it comes to the top order. The Mumbai Indians have struggled on all fronts and really have nothing to play for at this point.

Bet on Rajasthan Royals to win.
