Next up in the Vivo IPL 2021 is an afternoon game on a double header Thursday between the Mumbai Indians and the Rajasthan Royals. Both the sides have two wins in five games but MI are better on the run rate front.
MI have a decent bowling lineup with the trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Rahul Chahar being consistent in almost all the matches. Their major concern is the form of their middle order batsmen.
When the game requires some biggies at the back end of the innings. It has often not been coming from Hardik Pandya and co. MI are yet to chase this season. It will be interesting to see how they play while chasing if the opportunity arises.
On the other hand, we have the Rajasthan Royals coming into this match on the back of a thumping victory against the Kolkata Knight Riders. The duo of Mustafizur Rahman and Chetan Sakariya have been decent with the ball. Jos Buttler will need to step up in order to make RR a contender for the top four places.

IPL 2021 MI vs RR Pitch Report:
A decent cricket pitch is expected at Arun Jaitley Stadium, with plenty of help for both seamers and spinners. Bats will need to bide some time in the middle before going for the big shots. Initially the ball will come on nicely to the bat but the surface is expected to slow down a bit as the match progresses.
Both the sides will be looking to field first upon winning the toss, with dew expected later on into the match. A total of around 160 runs would be a fighting score at this venue.
