Preview

Mumbai and Rajasthan meet each other for the first time this season in the next fixture of Indian T20 League. Mumbai are sitting at the top with three wins in five games with the best NRR of +1.214. They are the only team to restrict their opposition below 200 at Sharjah. Their bowling keeps getting better with the likes of Kieron Pollard giving all-round contributions in the middle overs. However, they will be more familiar with the conditions of Abu Dhabi. They would like to go ahead with no changes in their XI and make it eight points in six games. 

On the other side, Rajasthan couldn’t continue the momentum they got from Sharjah and suffered two losses in a row. They are placed at fifth position in the points table. Their batting has failed on both the occasions outside Sharjah. The Steven Smith-led side need to fix their batting order and take bold decisions on someone like Robin Uthappa and Riyan Parag. Their bowling has been fine and will be expecting to be at their best against Mumbai.
