Wankhede, April 13, Saturday at 04:00 PM IST
Mumbai Indians will be hoping for their fourth win on the trot when they host Rajasthan Royals in the first fixture of Saturday’s doubleheader in the evening. The hosts registered a hat-trick of wins with the 3 wicket win over Kings XI Punjab in the last encounter and would be looking to continue their good run against Rajasthan Royals who are looking out of sorts.
Rajasthan Royals are coming after facing 4 wickets loss at the hands of Chennai Super Kings in a humdinger last night. Placed seventh in the points table, Rajasthan Royals have secure just one win in six outings and would be desperate for their second win of the season. Also, this is a must-win clash for Rajasthan to stay alive in the contest.
The hosts, on the other side, will be boosted with the return of regular skipper Rohit Sharma. He missed the last clash against Kings XI Punjab due to muscle spasm and is available for selection against Rajasthan. In his absence, Kieron Pollard captained the side and guided it to 3 wickets win with his scintillating 83 off just 31 balls. Mumbai Indians have grabbed the third spot with 4 wins and 2 losses in 6 encounters.
The clash will begin at 04:00 PM IST in the evening. In the night, Kings XI Punjab will be hosting bottom-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore in Mohali.
