Team News
Mumbai Indians: Despite having a powerful side on paper, the Mumbai Indians have scraped together just four wins in 13 matches but they remain a dangerous opposition.
Possible XI: Ryan Rickelton, Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Will Jacks, Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Raghu Sharma.
Rajasthan Royals: The Royals are not looking strong despite having three of the top-performing players in the tournament. A win will secure their spot in the playoffs, but a loss will leave them vulnerable to elimination as the two teams one below them are both playing teams in the bottom three of the table, with one of them highly likely to pull off a win.
Possible XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal (c), Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Dhruv Jurel, Donovan Ferreira, Shubham Dubey, Dasun Shanaka, Jofra Archer, Sushant Mishra, Sandeep Sharma, Brijesh Sharma, Yash Raj Punja.
Key Stats
- Mumbai Indians’ Ryan Rickelton has scored 123*, 37, 83 & 48 in his last 5 innings.
- Mumbai Indians’ Tilak Varma has scored 57, 75* & 20 in his last 3 knocks.
- Mumbai Indians’ AM Ghazanfar has taken 14 wickets in his last 9 matches.
- Rajasthan Royals’ Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is 4th on the IPL runs list (579 runs).
- Rajasthan Royals’ Donovan Ferreira has scored 33, 52*, 47* & 16* in his last 6 knocks.
- Rajasthan Royals’ Jofra Archer is 6th in the IPL wickets list with 13 wickets.
Match Analysis
The last match at the Wankhede was back on 4 May, when the Mumbai Indians chased down the Super Giants’ score of 228/5 to win by six wickets with eight balls to spare. The Super Giants hit 16 sixes and just 12 fours, with Mumbai responding with 17 sixes and 17 fours.
Teams chasing at the Wankhede have won three of the last four matches, which twice included sides chasing a target of over 200 runs.
The pitch is usually run-heavy as it offers consistent bounce and carry through to the keeper, along with a slick and quick outfield. There is some early movement for the quicks but evening dew creates a challenge for the bowlers. For an afternoon match sides will look to bat first with the aim of posting a big total.
Betting Markets to Watch
Result
The Royals have had a poor run of form, but they have some dynamic players in their side and with a playoff spot on the line I'm backing them to pull out a win from their last match in the group stage.
Score Over/Under Runs
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has scored 43, 36, 46 and 93 in his last five knocks and is a great pick to score over 31.5 runs in this match.
Take Over/Under Wickets
AM Ghazanfar has figures of 2/21, 2/31, 2/17, 2/25 and 2/51 in his last nine matches, taking at least one wicket in each of the other four matches, but Corbin Bosch has taken 2/20, 4/26, 1/42 and 3/30 in his last four matches, so I’m backing him to keep the wickets flowing.
Most Match Sixes
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hit 10 sixes in his last innings, a 38-ball score of 93 against the Super Giants, so I’m backing him to hit the most sixes in the match.
