IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals – Dafanews Match Preview

Mumbai Indians will lock horns against Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Monday in the 14th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League. While Mumbai have lost both of their opening matches, Rajasthan have won both.

Ergo, MI will look to get their maiden win of the season whereas RR will aim to continue the winning impetus. We take a lot at the head-to-head battle, players to watch out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Mumbai Indians: L L

MI conceded a gargantuan total of 277 runs in their last game against SRH as their bowlers could not put a lid on the scoring rate. Their batters did a decent job in the run-chase as they scored 246 runs but the opposition just had too many runs in the bag.

Rajasthan Royals: W W

RR has come up with a collective batting performance in the first two matches. While Sanju Samson batted through the whole innings in the opening match against LSG, Riyan Parag did so in the second game versus DC. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler are yet to deliver at the top of the order.

Head to Head: Matches: 30, Won by MI: 16, Won by RR: 13, Abandoned: 1.

Players to watch out for: Riyan Parag, Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Sandeep Sharma, Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal will hold the key for RR.

Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, and Piyush Chawla will hold the key for MI.
