Preview:

The two teams playing in this match have had their share of ups and downs in their journey this season so far.

Mumbai have coped well all through this time and are the table-toppers at the moment, with 7 wins in the 10 matches they have played.

On the other hand, Rajasthan are pegged at the second last spot in the table, having won 4 matches in their quota of 11 matches. A victory in this match could be instrumental for both these teams. But, Mumbai will hold an upper hand over Rajasthan and it will take a special effort from Rajasthan team to get past Mumbai in this game.
