Mumbai Indians Vs Rajasthan Royals

MATCH PREDICTION & ANALYSIS

We will have seen 13 complete games in the Indian Premier League this year by the time this one begins in Mumbai on Monday night. Once more, the competition is living up to the expectations, as batters are continuing to set new marks in the short format. We have already seen some records shattered.

However, this will be the campaign’s first game at the renowned Wankhede Stadium, which has its own unique features and problems.

The Mumbai Indians, especially captain Hardik Pandya, who has been jeered throughout the tournament, would be ecstatic to finally get to play in front of their home crowd.

Teams Preview –

Mumbai Indians :

The team will never be at full strength until Suryakumar Yadav is well enough to play for the Mumbai Indians, and there are rumblings in the camp that this game will again come too soon for the free-spirited, 360-hitting right-hander.

Those who follow the IPL from a distance will be perplexed as to why a side with such potent batting, plus alternatives for speed in Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah, plus the spin of Piyush Chawla, is at the bottom of the standings.

In actuality, they have had a few respectable efforts that would have allowed them to win both games. We urge all analysts to be cautious while discounting the Mumbai Indians’ prospects of winning the IPL this year.

Mumbai Indians Predicted Playing XI:

Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Naman Dhir, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Gerald Coetzee, Jasprit Bumrah, Piyush Chawla, Shams Mulani

Rajasthan Royals :

In their victory over Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals demonstrated the strength of their batting lineup when their strong top three of Yashasvi Jaiswal (5), Jos Buttler (11) and Sanju Samson (15) all failed. However, nobody seemed to notice as the team scored 185/5 with Riyan Parag hitting 84 not out from 45 balls at number four.

Once again, Nandre Burger showed off his skills with the ball as the South African bowler claimed the significant wickets of RK Bhui and Mitchell March. Additionally, there were a few dismissals for the unwaveringly reliable and charismatic Yuzvendra Chahal.

In the end, the Rajasthan Royals are a formidable team with skill across their starting lineup and will be difficult to defeat in this match.

Rajasthan Royals Predicted Playing XI:

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c) (wk), Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Dhruv Jurel, Nandre Burger, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal

Pitch & Weather Conditions:

Weather :

Mumbai will have high temperatures into the evening, with a low of only 29 degrees. Overcast skies with a predicted humidity of 65% throughout the day.

Pitch Report:

At this field, batting first typically scores 169, however in recent years, that figure has gone up. A fast pitch is what we should anticipate, and hitters who can hit for strike will have lots of opportunities to take advantage of that pace.

Toss: To Ball

We anticipate that both sides will decide to bowl if they win the toss before to this game since, both statistically and historically, the teams batting second at the Wankhede Stadium have emerged victorious.
