IPL 2021: Who will win today’s match between Mumbai Indians Vs Rajasthan Royals

Both teams will face in Sharjah to keep themselves in playoff contention.

The five-time champions were hoping for a hat-trick, which would be a first in the tournament’s 14-year history, but their batsmen failed to deliver, and the team was defeated. The wrinkles on Rohit Sharma’s forehead and the unhappy expression on his face reveal a story that has never been told before in the MI contingent.

Following the convincing victory, the Royals are struggling in sixth place in the points table. By any sense of the imagination, their net run rate of -0.337 isn’t the best. They’ll virtually certainly be eliminated from the tournament if they lose another game, though they’ll still have a mathematical chance to make the playoffs.

MI, on the other hand, has lost four of their previous five games and is currently ranked eighth. MI are in a bad spot after their loss against the Delhi Capitals. The Mumbai-based club prevailed by seven wickets the last time the two sides played, and they will be hoping for a repeat performance.
