Mumbai Indians

Currently toppling the league standings, the Mumbai Indians are on a two-game winning streak. Last time out against SRH, they were in tip-top form, usurping the opposition by 34 runs. Following Rohit’s early shower, Quinton De Kock rose to the occasion for his side, scoring 67 runs from 39 balls.

What can we make of their batting line-up? Utterly ruthless. In the previous clash, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik, Krunal and Pollard took hold of the bat, registering 20s and 30s, propelling MI to a total of 208 runs. They had a magnificent strike arte of 150+.

Their bowlers were nothing short of spectacular – the pacey trio of Trent Boult, James Pattinson and Jasprit Bumrah picking up 2 wickets a piece in the game. Kieron Polland and Krunal Pandya then made their way to the pitch, completing the remaining overs to amass combined numbers of 7-0-55-1.

Rajasthan Royals

Yet to get in their groove, the Rajasthan Royals have been very inconsistent this season. Without squad depth, Steve Smith has had to rely on their top-3 – all of whom have struggled to deliver in their previous two games – failing to hit the 160-run mark.

While Buttler remains in a rut, Samson and Smith haven’t made any major impact on away soil. Mahipal Lormor was cracking last time out, scoring a whopping 47 runs. Jofra Archer and Rahul Tewatia have both been instrumental, delivering in the last minutes to score more runs.

When it comes to bowling, Jofra Archer is the top of the pops for RR, streets ahead of every other bowler in the team. He managed decent figures of 4-0-18-11 on the previous matchday. Too expensive on the ball, Tom Curran and Jaydev Unadkat will have to do better to retain their place in the lineup.
