RR vs MI / Will the bowlers make a comeback in Jaipur or will there be a rain of runs again

RR vs MI: The 50th match of IPL 2025 is going to bring tremendous thrill for cricket lovers, when the teams of Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians will face each other at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. While Mumbai Indians are constantly in great form, Rajasthan Royals will have to win this match at all costs to keep the playoff hopes alive.

'Do or die' situation for Rajasthan

Rajasthan Royals' performance so far this season has not been up to expectations. The team has won only 3 out of 10 matches and if they lose even one of the remaining four matches, their playoff hopes may be dashed. Rajasthan will definitely get the advantage of home ground, but they will have to make a big improvement in both their strategy and performance.

Mumbai Indians' pace is unbeatable

At the same time, Mumbai Indians have firmly established themselves in the points table by winning all their last five matches. With 12 points, they are currently in third place and their journey towards the playoffs looks quite assured. Both the batsmen and bowlers of the team are in form, which can be a cause of concern for Rajasthan.

The mood of the pitch will turn the match

The statistics that have come out this season regarding the Jaipur pitch show that the batsmen are getting good help here. The average score of the first innings has been close to 187 runs. Out of the three matches played here so far, the team chasing the target has won twice. The toss can therefore prove to be decisive - the priority of the teams may be to bowl first.

If we look at the history, a total of 60 IPL matches have been played on this ground, in which the team chasing has won 39 times, while the team batting first has been successful 21 times. In such a situation, the team winning the toss must keep these statistics in mind while making a strategy.

Rajasthan dominates in Jaipur

If we talk about the matches played between the two teams in Jaipur, then Rajasthan seems to have the upper hand. So far, 8 matches have been played between these two teams at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, out of which Rajasthan has won 6. Mumbai has been able to register a win here only twice and the last time they defeated Rajasthan on this ground was in 2012. This can also give Rajasthan a psychological edge.
