MI vs RR: Everything You need to know
3 min read
The matchup between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) isn’t thought to be among the most important ones in the IPL. However, the truth is that these two teams have already engaged in a number of thrilling games. These two T20 batting suits are also very capable. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer, Tim David, Hardik Pandya, and Jos Buttler will want to put on a show tonight, and there is plenty of powerful talent on exhibit. This is one reason why selecting a Dream11 lineup for today’s game can be challenging.
Both Jos Buttler and Ishan Kishan are playing well. Trent Boult has performed superbly using the new ball. Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal are unstoppable. Hardik Pandya is anticipated to improve quickly. While Sandeep Sharma and Nandre Burger of Rajasthan are still healing from their individual injuries, MI does not have any reservations about their fitness. Burger, however, might be able to play as an impact substitute based on the outcome of the toss.
Pitch Report
Four games were played in 2024 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, home of RR. Samson’s RR team has scored 193, 185, and 196 while batting first in three home games in the IPL 2024. Thus, it is anticipated that RR and MI would engage in a high-scoring contest in Jaipur today. At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, no team has reached the 200-point milestone.
Head to Head
With respect to their head-to-head record, RR has defeated MI 13 times. The visitors hope to defeat RR for the 16th time in Jaipur. It’s interesting to note that the Mumbai Indians team hasn’t won any of their last away games against Rajasthan. The last time the five-time champions triumphed over RR at this location was in 2012.
