Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians (MI) will face Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Sunday at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.

Rajasthan Royals will aim to bounce back after suffering two consecutive losses, while Mumbai Indians will be in search of their second win when they face-off on 22 April.

With two wins and three defeats, RR is placed sixth with four points, while MI is seventh with one win in four games. But the good thing for Mumbai is that their sole win came in their last match — a 46-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Tuesday.

Hence, RR has a lot to worry about. Rajasthan started their IPL 2018 campaign on a poor note, hammered by SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 9 wickets. They, however, gained momentum and registered two back-to-back wins against Delhi Daredevils (DD) and RCB. Later, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) outclassed them by seven wickets and 64 runs, respectively.

In the past two matches, neither Rajasthan’s batsmen nor their bowlers have delivered. Against KKR, they could only post 160 and allowed the visitors to chase down the target with ease. Against CSK, Rajasthan bowlers were taken to cleaners by veteran Australian all-rounder Shane Watson, who blasted a 106 off 57 deliveries. RR was bowled out for 140, with no one, barring Ben Stokes (45), offering any resistance.
