In the 20th match of the Indian Premier League 2020, the defending champions Mumbai Indians and super talented Rajasthan Royals will clash tonight. In tonight's match played in Aub Dhabi, while the Mumbai Indians will be high on confidence after back-to-back wins, there will be some pressure on the Rajasthan Royals to return to rhythm after defeat in their last game.


Mumbai Indians, who have won two consecutive matches, are second in the points table, while Rajasthan Royals, who have won both their opening matches, have lost in their last two matches.






Mumbai Indians have played five matches so far in the tournament, winning three and losing two. At the same time, this will be Rajasthan's fifth match and it has faced two wins and two defeats in the four matches played so far.


The kind of comeback that Mumbai's team has attained after the defeat at the hands of Chennai in the IPL 2020 opening match is praiseworthy. Currently, Mumbai's team is doing well in all three departments. The testimony of this is giving the list of top-10 run scorers and top-10 wicket takers so far in the tournament.


On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals team's weight rests on the shoulders of Steve Smith, Jose Butler and Sanju Samson. If these three fail, then for Rajasthan it becomes difficult to pull themselves back into the game. Not only this, the weak middle order and lower order of the team is also going to raise the concern of Captain Smith.


Facing defeat in both the previous matches, Rajasthan Royals are struggling to regain their lost rhythm. In bowling, the command of the team is in the hands of Jofra Archer but no other bowler is able to support him. Although Tom Curran has supported Archer well in some matches, all other bowlers will need to contribute big for the win.


Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians - Head to head

The two teams have faced each other 23 times in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with Mumbai and Rajasthan winning 11–11 matches. At the same time, one match had no result (ended in a draw).
