RR vs MI: Predictions
Mumbai Indians will start as clear favourites in this clash. They have won five games on the trot and look like a team on a mission.
Their batting is firing and with Bumrah and Boult leading the bowling, they will be a tough team to beat. Rajasthan Royals finally broke their losing streak with a win over Gujarat, but they have still lost five of their last six.
MI, whether chasing or setting a target, look better balanced and more consistent. Expect MI to keep their winning momentum going and possibly go top of the table.
