Mumbai Indians will lock horns against Rajasthan Royals in the 69th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Sunday. Rajasthan Royals have a straightforward path to qualify for the playoffs, which is to win this contest and make it to the last four without any permutations and combinations.
Vabhav Suryavanshi was the star of the show in the previous game against LSG as he scored a blistering knock of 93 runs off just 38 balls. The 15-year-old has played a key role in his team’s success as he has amassed 579 runs in 13 matches at an average of 44.54 and a strike rate of 236.32.
However, RR’s middle order has been a cause of concern throughout the season. The inaugural champions have also struggled a bit with the ball and they would look to come up with a complete and collective performance in all aspects of the game.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have looked down and out throughout their whole campaign. Surprisingly, their big names, including Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Jasprit Bumrah, have let the team down with their mundane performances.
It has been a dismal season for the five-time champions, and they would want to end their campaign on a high.
Head to Head: Matches: 32, Won by MI: 16, Won by RR: 15, No result: 1.
