RR vs MI Head to Head

RR vs MI Head to Head: The Sportsrush presents before you the Head to Head statistics for 36th match of IPL 2019.

The 36th match of the ongoing 12th season of the Indian Premier League will be played between Rajashan Royals and Mumbai Indians at Jaipur tomorrow. With a couple of victories in eight matches, Royals are currently at No. 7 in the points table. On the other hand, with six wins in nine matches, Indians are currently at No. 2 in the points table.

There is no hiding to the fact that another loss in IPL 2019 will call for a daunting road ahead for Rajasthan. Having lost three matches and won only one at their home ground this season, RR will have to both improve their home record and remain alive in the season.
