The 51st match of IPL 2021 will see defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) lock horns against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Tuesday at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. It is expected to be a cracker of a game with both teams fancying their chances for a top-four finish.

RR are sixth in the points table with 5 wins in 12 matches, and a Net Run Rate of -0.337. They defeated the formidable Chennai Super Kings convincingly by 7 wickets on Saturday. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube slammed the fifties, helping them go past Chennai’s 189 in just 17.3 overs.

RR will hope they carry on the same momentum against MI and give themselves alive in contention for a top-four finish.

MI, on the other hand, have not found her mojo back since the second phase of IPL 2021 started in the UAE. The middle-order has not fired for the defending champions which have hurt them badly.

The five-time IPL champions will hope to get their rhythm back to play to their best potential to give them a chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
