Preview

Rajasthan are up against the table toppers, Mumbai in their next fixture of the Indian T20 League. It is a do or die situation for them to win every game from here to give themselves a chance to go through to the playoffs. They are coming off a loss against Hyderabad in Dubai and desperately need a win to remain in the race for the playoffs. Playing Ben Stokes up the order hasn’t really worked for them.

They are placed at the seventh spot and have frequently changed their combinations and miserably failed. Relatively they have a brilliant batting order with Jofra Archer also striking the ball so well at the end. But the over dependence on Jofra Archer in their bowling attack to pick wickets has been a big problem for them. However, the team they have on paper can beat any team on any day.

On the other side, Mumbai are sitting at the top of the table with seven wins and the best NRR in the tournament. They have been the best team with so many convincing wins this season. They are coming off a huge win by 10 wickets against Chennai. Mumbai’s batting has been top notch with Quinton de Kock scoring runs consistently at the top of the order. In addition, they have an in form bowling attack who are performing in every conditions they have played. They are clearly the favourites between these two teams to get the two points from Abu Dhabi.
