The Wankhede Stadium braces for a high-stakes battle as a resurgent Mumbai Indians (MI) take on a Rajasthan Royals (RR) side still clinging to playoff hopes.
RR recently stunned Gujarat Titans with a blazing eight-wicket win, chasing 210 with ease, but consistency has eluded them; they sit at seventh with just three wins from 10 games. With players like Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler capable of turning games single-handedly, the Royals will look to build on that momentum and keep their slim qualification chances alive.
Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, have flipped the script on their season, roaring back with five consecutive wins to rise to second on the table. Their batting unit has exploded into form, boasting elite numbers in average and strike rate, while their bowlers have tightened the screws with clinical performances across all phases.
With their confidence sky-high and the home crowd behind them, MI will look to keep their juggernaut rolling, but RR’s fearless batting could make this a cracking contest.
