After two wins on the bounce, Mumbai Indians will now head to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur where the home side Rajasthan Royals will be waiting for them for the second round between the two sides.
There is nothing looking back from here for the Rajasthan Royals as they have only won two games out of 8 and one more loss here will roll down curtains for them this year. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, after beating Delhi Capitals in their own backyard have moved one place up at the second position on the points table with 12 points to their name.
However, they would be looking to avenge their loss against this very opponent which they suffered at the Wankhede Stadium by 4 wickets. Jos Buttler’s annihilation took the game away from the hosts as he clobbered MI’s bowling line-up with ease as he got 89 from just 43 deliveries which included 8 fours and 7 sixes.
This would be the 23rd occasion when these two teams will lock horns with each other. Mumbai Indians pip Rajasthan Royals by only one win, Mumbai has won 11, whereas, Rajasthan has won 10 games from 22 matches played while one match was abandoned between the two sides.
Here, we have come up with several Grand League teams which may help you reap a substantial amount playing the grand league.
