Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals Team Preview
Mumbai Indians
The Mumbai Indians lost in their last match, but they still have a roster full of deadly batters. They can’t be ruled out, but this may be a difficult match against the Rajasthan Royals.
After returning to the team for the last match, it was revealed that Jofra Archer had been ruled out due to illness. Archer underwent minor elbow surgery in Belgium a few weeks ago and is expected to be fully recovered.
Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals got back on track with a dominant win against Chennai Super Kings on Thursday, and we expect them to be fired up for this match.
Trent Boult has been in terrific form in the 2023 IPL, but he dropped Thursday’s win over Chennai Super Kings due to a niggle, and we don’t anticipate him to be risked for this match. Adam Zampa was added to the lineup for the most recent encounter, and we expect him to remain there.

The bowlers have some early help from the surface, and as the game develops, it becomes better to bat on. As a result, the team that wins the toss will have no qualms about bowling first on this surface.
Sunny skies are forecast at the start of the match, followed by clear skies after nightfall. The temperature will remain in the high 20s throughout the match, with greater humidity as the game proceeds.
At Wankhede Stadium, the average IPL first innings score is less than 170, but we predict both sides to reach totals beyond that amount in this encounter. The game will be turned around.
