Info: 

• Jos Buttler scored a hundred against PBKS and helped RR chase the highest total in IPL history. Buttler when on song is hard to stop. Back him as RR top batter against MI. Trent Boult with his left arm swing bowling possesses abilities to blow MI top order. We are expecting him to deliver a good show against MI thus he is our pick for RR top bowler.
• Rohit Sharma has got starts but barring a hundred against CSK, he does not have a fifty+ score. Rohit needs to ensure he plays through the innings when set at the crease, something he is very capable off. Back him as MI top batter. Jasprit Bumrah has been magnificent for MI and is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament, with 13 wickets. He is a great pick for top bowler.
• Both MI and RR have multiple six hitters in the team and on a venue that is known to see some of the biggest hits, expect a lot of fireworks. Total sixes in the match should be over 15.5.

Toss Predictions: 

Toss will be crucial here as 180+ totals have been easily chased here in the previous two games. Captain winning the toss should chase again.

Weather & Pitch Report: 

Weather: ⛅

It will be a humid evening with temperature hovering around high 20s. The humidity will be 22 per cent and the wind speed will be 12 kmph. There is a 10 per cent chance of rain.

Pitch Report: 

The pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is batting friendly. The new ball has done a bit but short boundaries and quick outfield has ensured that players have caught up with the run rate when the ball stops moving. Spinners have got some help though and can be the game changers.

Team NEWS: 

RR Team News: 

Kuldeep Sen has struggled a bit in the last couple of games but Rajasthan Royals should not be worried as other players have more than made up for it, however, there is Navdeep Saini in the dugout and it won’t be a bad move to test him now with playoff berth almost confirmed. Kuldeep can be kept as an impact player if Saini is picked in playing XI. 

MI Team News: 

We do feel it is time for Mumbai Indians to play Nuwan Tushara in the playing XI. The bowling has struggled and they need to bolster their attack against a class RR outfit. We see Mohammed Nabi making way for Tushara in the next game.

Winning Chances: 

Rajasthan Royals are clear favourites to win. Rajasthan Royals look a much more balanced team and most of the players are in great form. For MI, they seem to have a lot of loopholes. The batters have got starts but not converted them into big scores. Also, barring Bumrah and Coetzee, bowlers have been hammered so we feel that Rajasthan Royals have a good chance of winning. Also, they defeated MI not so long ago in IPL 2024.

Rajasthan Royals to beat Mumbai Indians.

Rajasthan Royals a 100% chance to win this match 

Mumbai Indians a 0% chance to win this match 

Key Players: 

Rajasthan Royals 

Jos Butter 

Jos Buttler had a slow start to his campaign but he has peaked at the right moment for the RR. He has scored two match winning centuries in the last few games and now looks unstoppable. Butter has scored 250 runs in the IPL 2024.

Sanju Samson 

Sanju Samson has been terrific as well. He has come in at difficult situations and played captain’s knocks to put the team back on top. Samson has looked confident and assured and it has helped the team in more than one way. Sanju Samson has scored 276 runs in seven games this season.

Riyan Parag 

Riyan Parag has also taken the tournament by storm. He has been outstanding and played a significant role in RR maintaining their winning run. During initial games, RR lost Jaiswal and Buttler early and were in pressure but Parag came in and changed the complexion of the game. Parag has scored 318 runs so far.

Yuzvendra Chahal 

With 12 wickets in 7 games, Chahal is the leading wicket-taker for RR. He has bowled in difficult situations and came out with flying colours, getting crucial wickets for his team.

RR Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Rovman Powell, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Shubham Dubey, Nandre Burger, Navdeep Saini/Kuldeep Saini 

In a chase, Rajasthan Royals will use Rovman Powell due to his finishing abilities while Navdeep Saini or Kuldeep Singh, whoever is selected as an impact player, can be used if they need a bowler.

Mumbai Indians 

Rohit Sharma 

Rohit Sharma has been magnificent at the top. Rohit scored a century against CSK and he has multiple cameos to his name in the tournament as well. Overall, he has scored 297 runs thus a big innings might be loading again.

Suryakumar Yadav 

It has been a strange comeback for Surya. The batter has played four games and scored fifties in two games while ducks in other two matches. Surya, however, scored a scintillating 78 on a tough wicket against PBKS in the last outing. He is the most important batter in the MI team.

Jasprit Bumrah 

Bumrah has lived up to the GOAT status he has achieved. Even when other bowlers have been whacked, with teams posting 250+ scores, Bumrah has maintained an economy of less than 6. He has also taken 13 wickets for MI which is just outstanding.

Gerald Coetzee 

Gerald Coetzee has been taken for a few runs but he has made up for it by picking crucial wickers. Coetzee has taken 12 wickets in 7 games for MI.

MI Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Akash Madhwal, Mohammad Nabi, Piyush Chawla, Naman Dhir, Kumar Kartikeya 

Naman Dhir is a good option if MI need a batter while Chawla can be used if MI need a bowler as conditions will favour spinners.

Team Forms: 

RR Team Form: 

RR have played the best cricket so far, winning six out of the seven games.

MI Team Form: 

MI have blown hot and cold. They have played seven games, winning three and losing four.
