PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Mumbai will have a hot and humid weather on the match day with a lot of dew expected in the latter stages making life hard for bowlers. Anti-dew agents might control the dew factor to certain extent.

Venue Details

DY Patil stadium pitch has been a slightly tacky with a slowness and spongy bounce in the pitch. The bowlers might look to use their slower balls and variations effectively on this pitch. We expect average scores in the range of 160-180 runs in this pitch.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams have mostly opted to chase in the T20 matches off late and we have a 14-7 win-loss ratio in this season so far. We expect both captains to follow the trend of batting second in this match too.

RR vs GT
Winning Prediction

RR has a good batting line-up and 4 quality bowlers alongside a promising young pacer in their playing XI. But they lack the firepower in the lower order and depth in bowling attack due to the absence of all-rounders in their playing XI. GT batting line-up looks slightly shaky in the middle order but are making it up with their depth and balance in playing XI. Rashid Khan lacks support in the spin department while pacers Shami and Ferguson were off-color in the last game. We expect Rajasthan Royals to win this match as they have quality players in their playing XI.

Rajasthan Royals will win the match
