RR vs MI Prediction & Tips
Rajasthan Royals have emerged as the standout team in the tournament, leading the table with six wins out of seven matches. Despite one loss to Gujarat Titans, they’ve been dominant throughout, with every player making significant contributions.
In contrast, Mumbai Indians have struggled, losing four crucial matches. To keep their playoff hopes alive, they need a string of victories. Despite a strong lineup, they seem disjointed, possibly due to the captaincy change between Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma. Additionally, they lack support for Jasprit Bumrah, their star bowler, leaving the team looking off-color in crucial moments.

Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians – Who Will Win?
Rajasthan Royals appear as the likely winners due to their balanced squad and excellent form of key players.

Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians – Top Batters
In the upcoming match, the batting of Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, and Riyan Parag for RR will be crucial. Buttler’s recent two centuries, Parag’s consistent run-scoring, and Samson’s match-winning innings make them formidable.
However, against RR’s strong bowling, MI will rely on Rohit Sharma’s recent century, Suryakumar Yadav’s consistent form with a couple of fifties, and Tilak Varma’s promising start against PBKS. With RR’s bowling strength, MI will heavily lean on these batters to post a challenging total.
Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians – Top Bowler
Rajasthan Royals’ bowling trio of Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, and Avesh Khan will pose a significant threat. Chahal’s 12 wickets highlight his brilliance, while Boult’s economy rate of around 7 with seven wickets showcases his consistency. Avesh Khan’s skills in death overs add depth to their attack.
However, countering them will be Mumbai Indians’ formidable duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Coetzee, who have 13 and 12 wickets respectively. Bumrah’s exceptional economy of 5.96 underscores his impact.
