The 15th edition of the Indian Premier League is heading towards its 9th encounter of the league phase, which will be played between Mumbai Indians & Rajasthan Royals. As the Mumbai league is in progress, the venue for this clash will be DY Patil Cricket Stadium.
Rajasthan has won their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 61 runs, while DC defeated MI in their preceding match. The bowling line-ups of both teams are looking at the top at this moment, especially the spinners of both sides. Though Mumbai lost their last game by defending the score, if Axar Patel didn’t play that match-saving cameo, it would surely be MI’s game. The batters like Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, and Devdutt Padikkal would also spell their magic in this match.
Prasidh Krishna and Yuzvendra Chahal were the only reasons behind the restriction of Sunrisers Hyderabad on a highly mediocre total. Thus it will be a contest between both departments of Mumbai & Rajasthan. Both the teams have battled 25 games in IPL, out of which MI has won 13, and RR has succeeded in 12 matches.
Let’s make a few predictions between the MI & RR for the game.
