IPL 2020 MI vs RR, Match Preview: The 20th match of IPL 2020 will be played between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals from 7:30 pm today at Sheikh Zayed International Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Mumbai has won their last match, so their confidence will be of different level. At the same time, Rajasthan had to face defeat in both their previous encounters, in such a situation that there will be pressure on them.
However, Rajasthan have won all four matches played against Mumbai Indians since returning to this T20 league in 2018. These stats are going to create confidence in Steve Smith-led Rajasthan.
Most of the players of Mumbai's team are in excellent form and keeping this in mind, they are most likely to play with the same team in tonight's match too. On the other hand, Rajasthan can make many changes in their team in this match.
RR' star all-rounder Ben Stokes is still under quarantine and will not play tonight, but young lads Yashasvi Jaiswal and Karthik Tyagi may get a chance.
Mumbai has made a great comeback after the defeat at the hands of Chennai Super Kings in the first match. Mumbai had some concern about the form of opener Quinton de Kock. However, in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the South African opener dispelled those fears. He scored the highest 67 runs for his team.
