MI vs RR Match Prediction

MI vs RR Match Prediction: The Sportsrush presents before you the Match Prediction of 27th match of IPL 2019.

The 27th match of the ongoing 12th season of the Indian Premier League will be played between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals at Mumbai tomorrow. While Mumbai are coming on the back of an emphatic victory against Kings XI Punjab, Rajasthan are coming on the back of a crushing victory against Chennai Super Kings.

With four wins in six matches, Mumbai Indians are currently at No. 3 in the points table tomorrow. With a lone victory in six matches, Rajasthan have traveled a tough road in IPL 2019 as of now.

MI vs RR – What numbers suggest?

In the 21 matches which Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals have played against each other, Mumbai have won 11 as compared to Rajasthan’s nine victories. The numbers further throw accolades on the hosts when it comes to playing RR at Wankhdede Stadium. Out of the six matches at Wankhede, Indians have won four matches as compared to Royals’ two wins.

MI also take a lead against RR when it comes to both team’s average score against each other. MI’s average score of 160 against RR is more than RR’s average score of 157 against MI.

MI vs RR – Paper value

With Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma set to play the match tomorrow, the hosts comprise of a stellar batting order. Given the form that their all-rounder duo of Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard are in, expect them to both chase and set a formidable total tomorrow.

The Head-to-Head stats of both the teams highlight the fact that Pollard is Mumbai Indians’ highest run-scorer and wicket-taker against Royals among the current players. Citing the same, he might as well continue his prowess in Wankhede tomorrow.

On the contrary, Royals look unsettled to the extent that they are yet to zero in on a settled combination. Considering Mumbai’s record at Wankhede, their current form and Royals being inconsistent, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that MI stand favourites at this point in time.
