Mumbai Indians, the most successful team in the history of IPL 2020, will take on under-pressure Rajasthan Royals on Sunday and the effort will be to maintain their dominance. This season, Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians has been shuffling between number one and number two spot in IPL 2020 points table with seven wins out of 10 games.

At the same time, it will be necessary for the Rajasthan Royals team to win in this match to keep their playoff hopes alive in the tournament. Mumbai returned to form with a 10-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings, while in the previous match, they had lost to Kings XI Punjab in a super over. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals had to lose by eight wickets to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match.

Mumbai Indians, currently leading the points table, are on their way to the qualification for the playoffs but this match is very important for Rajasthan who are in seventh place and another defeat will bring them closer to being eliminated.

The biggest worry for Rajasthan is their top order not performing and also the form of skipper Steve Smith, who has scored 265 runs in 11 matches. Throughout the season, Rajasthan has made consistent changes in the top order, and suffered greatly. The team has great players like Ben Stokes (110 runs), Sanju Samson (272 runs) and Jose Butler (271 runs) but all three have failed to perform together.

The young batsmen of the team are getting a good start but they will have to convert it into big innings and if the seniors fail then they will have to start taking the responsibility.
