PREVIEW:

Rajasthan Royals: They have played 11 games in IPL 2020. They have won just 4 games and have lost 7 games. If they win this match their hope for playoffs will be alive and if they lose this match they will be out of the tournament. Robin Uthappa is giving good start to the team. The middle order needs to capitalize on the starts. Jofra Archer has been very good with the bowl. RR needs another bowler who can bowl well at the death with Jofra Archer.

Mumbai Indians: They have played 10 games in IPL 2020. They have won 7 games and have lost 3 games. A win here will help them qualify for playoffs. Quinton De Kock has looked in good touch with the bat. Rohit Sharma may return to the XI. Their Middle order has looked solid. Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah are now in good form with the bowl. They are peaking at the right time of the tournament.
