THE LOWDOWN

MUMBAI INDIANS

  • Mumbai Indians slipped to a second consecutive defeat last time out, losing by a significant margin of 55 against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad which has seen them slip to within four points of the top four.
  • A target of 208 was always likely to prove too much for Mumbai, especially after captain Rohit Sharma was dismissed cheaply, the top three contributing less than 50 runs between them.

RAJASTHAN ROYALS

  • Rajasthan Royals’ current IPL record in 2023 stands at played eight, won five and lost three and with the best net-run-rate of any side currently are firmly planted inside the play-off places.
  • Their latest triumph was another memorable one, completing a double against Chennai Super Kings, following up victory in Chepauk earlier in the tournament with a 32-run win in Jaipur.

THE PREDICTION

The historic 1000th IPL fixture sees the most successful franchise in the tournament’s lifetime so far, face the first ever IPL winners. As it stands, Rajasthan Royals have never looked as well set to finally lift the trophy once again, having assembled an excellent team who continue to immensely impress this year. All bases are covered among their side with experience, batting aggression, powerplay wickets and mystery spin. Mumbai Indians meanwhile, have struggled with consistency, something you might expect from what is a fairly young team. Rajasthan have already won in Chennai this season and it’s now worth backing them to win here in Mumbai.
