Background
Welcome to ABP Live's live coverage of Match 14 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, pitting Mumbai Indians (MI) against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both the teams have had a contrasting show so far in the tournament. RR have clinched victories in both their IPL 2024 matches, securing the third position on the points table. Meanwhile, MI have suffered defeats in both encounters, languishing at the bottom of the table.
While RR have secured victories in both of their matches, defeating the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC), the five-time champions, MI, have encountered difficulties this season. MI suffered a narrow loss in their opening game against the Gujarat Titans by six runs. In their subsequent match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), MI conceded an IPL-record 277 runs in 20 overs and suffered a 31-run defeat, adding to their woes. However, the recent head-to-head record favors MI, especially at the Wankhede Stadium, suggesting they are the favorites in this encounter.
In their past five encounters, MI have dominated RR in the head-to-head battle:
2023: MI secured a comfortable victory by 6 wickets.
2022: MI emerged victorious with a 5-wicket win.
2022: RR managed to break MI's winning streak with a 23-run triumph.
2021: MI continued their dominance with an 8-wicket win.
2021: MI again emerged victorious with a 7-wicket win.
This record suggests MI's historical superiority over RR in recent matchups.

IPL 2024, MI vs RR Live: Third Consecutive Loss For Mumbai Pandya
Rajasthan comfortably chased down the target despite a slight stumble during the powerplay. Once again, Riyan Parag emerged as their batting star, hitting a fine fifty. However, it was their bowlers who set the stage, with Trent Boult claiming three wickets in the powerplay, followed by Yuzvendra Chahal and Nandre Burger making key contributions to restrict Mumbai to just 125 runs. In response, Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his lean start to the season by chipping one straight to covers. Sanju Samson also fell cheaply, chopping one onto his stumps against Akash Madhwal, who struck again to dismiss Jos Buttler. Despite a shaky start at 48/3, the duo of R Ashwin and Riyan Parag stabilized the innings and guided the visitors to victory.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, will have to get their act together as they have now lost all the three matches that they have played in IPL 2024 season.
