Rajasthan Royals Battle For Survival Against MI
Rajasthan Royals are currently at number eighth position with just three wins in 10 matches. If they lose this game, they will be out of the tournament and thus would need to make a strong comeback just like they did against GT to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have a chance to move at the top of the order if they beat Rajasthan Royals in this game. They currently have 12 points in their kitty from 10 matches, and are coming into this game on the back of five consecutive wins.
