IPL 2020: Mumbai Indians (MI) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR) Preview, Probable XI, Head-to-Head and Fantasy 11

Four-time Indian Premier League (IPL) winners MI Paltan will take on 2008 season champions Rajasthan Royals in match 20 of the ongoing tournament. The game between these two teams will take place on October 6 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

Mumbai Indians (MI)

The Mumbai Indians is one of the best teams in the history of this tournament and has performed like one in this edition too. With three victories in five clashes, Rohit Sharma and co. hold the pole position in the Points Table. They are coming to this game after an emphatic victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 17 of the tournament.

They are known for making the least changes in their playing XI, and something similar was seen in this season as well. Moreover, all their players have contributed so far in this tournament with either bat or ball. As a result, the MI-based franchise will continue with their winning combination in this game too, and play the same XI.

Rajasthan Royals (RR)

The journey for the Rajasthan Royals has not been less than a roller-coaster in this IPL edition. After registering two back-to-back wins, they suffered from consecutive losses. Their over-dependence on the top-order batsmen has kept the middle-order unexposed. Steve Smith and Sanju Samson have scored a major chunk of runs fro them.

As a result, they need to make some crucial changes in their line-up to add some more stability to it. As a result, we might see Yashasvi Jaiswal back in the side for Riyan Parag or Robin Uthappa as the latter two have failed to impress so far.
