RR vs MI IPL Cricket Betting Tips and Live Score: Match 51, Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians

Ambati Rayudu top scored with 55*. Delhi Capitals made tall work of the chase despite getting a good start, winning in the final over. Axar Patel was adjudged Man of the Match for his two wickets.

Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians now go head to head in a knockout game. Both teams are in the bottom half of the table. The loser will have little chance of making it to the playoffs. MI won the reverse fixture by 7 wickets.

RR vs MI Dream11 Prediction

Kieron Pollard always steps up in the big games. The short boundaries will make it easier for him to smash those big sixes. He can do well with the ball here with his cutters and slower deliveries. Pollard has 232 runs and 5 wickets in 12 games this season.

We are tipping Tabraiz Shamsi to come good in this game. He is the No.1 T20 bowler as per ICC’s latest rankings. He has played only one game so far.

Rahul Chahar should be back in MI’s lineup after getting a rest. He can thrive on the slow-turning pitch Sharjah has on offer. He has 13 wickets in 11 games at an economy of 7.4.

RR Playing XI

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Evin Lewis, Sanju Samson (c/wk), Shivam Dube, Glenn Philips, Rahul Tewatia, Mahipal Lomror, Tabraiz Shamsi, Mayank Markande, Mustafizur Rahman, and Chetan Sakariya

MI Playing XI

Quinton De Kock (WK), Rohit Sharma (C), Suryakumar Yadav, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Rahul Chahar, Jayant Yadav, Trent Boult, and Jasprit Bumrah.

RR vs MI Today Match Pitch Report

Sharjah has been the hardest to bat on. The wicket is slow and the ball stops a bit. However, it did play slightly better in the last game. The batters should make the most of the powerplay overs. 140-150 should be a fighting total on this pitch.

Predicted Score:
If MI bats first: 150-160
If RR bats first: 140-150
