Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals IPL T20 Match Prediction

Betting Tips

• Mumbai Indians have an excellent bowling unit but their batting has been their achilles heel so far in this campaign. Rohit Sharma has made 201 runs across the five games with only Suryakumar Yadav (154) also contributing 100+ runs. With the ball, Rahul Chahar has taken 9 wickets, Trent Boult has been threatening throughout and Jasprit Bumrah has an impressive economy rate of 6.36.
• Sanju Samson has led the way for Rajasthan Royals not only as captain but also with the bat. He has contributed 187 runs in the tournament so far although 161 of them have come in two innings. David Miller is the only other Royal to have passed 50 in the 2021 IPL. Chris Morris (9) and Chetan Sakariyar (7) have taken the most wickets with Jaydev Unadkat and Mustafizur Rahman both chipping in with 4 each.
• Rohit Sharma’s side have been particularly fortunate with injuries and player welfare. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have now lost Jofra Archer (injury), Ben Stokes (injury), Liam Livingstone (bubble fatigue) and Andrew Tye (Returned Home) during the season.
