If there were questions about Riyan Parag's ability to lead the team, he has answered his critics well. They have won both games and sit at the top of the points table. The side won a close game against the Gujarat Titans by 6 runs and looks to build on this momentum. The batting lineup has done well, but Parag needs a better show from his bowlers, as they face one of the strongest batting lineups in the upcoming game.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has made 93 runs in two games, and he must deliver an electrifying start with the teenage sensation, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Dhruv Jurel played a match-winning knock against the Titans and must add runs in the middle order with Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer. Ravindra Jadeja is a good finisher and must add quick runs with Donovan Ferreira and Jofra Archer.
The bowling attack is yet to find form, and the team expects a strong show. Jofra Archer is the backbone of this bowling attack and must strike early with Nandre Burger. Ravi Bishnoi picked up 4 wickets in the last game and must bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Sandeep Sharma. Tushar Deshpande and Ravindra Jadeja must deliver in their supporting roles.

Yashasvi Jaiswal First Innings Runs Over 27.5 @ 1.83 (4rabet)
Yashasvi Jaiswal has made 618 runs in the last 13 innings at an average of 56.18
Yashasvi Jaiswal: Total Sixes Over 1.5 @ 2.00
Jaiswal has smashed a total of 4 sixes this season, averaging 2 sixes per match. Against Mumbai Indians across the last 8 matches, he has hit 19 sixes at an average of 2.4 per match. His ability to clear the rope consistently against this bowling attack, combined with his excellent current form, you can back him to clear the rope at least twice.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Total Fours Over 2.5 @ 2.00
Sooryavanshi is averaging 4.5 fours per match this season and has hit over 2.5 fours in both matches played so far. As an opener with the field restrictions in play, he has the best opportunity to find the gaps and clear the boundary regularly. Up against an out-of-form Mumbai Indians bowling lineup, backing him to hit over 2 fours in today's match
Total Sixes Over 9.5 (if they bat first) @ 2.10
Rajasthan Royals are averaging 9.5 sixes per match this season and smashed over 10 sixes against the Titans in their last match. They are the second-best six-hitting team this season, and with Mumbai Indians having conceded 9 sixes per match this season, the conditions are in place for the Royals to clear the rope regularly if they win the toss and bat first.
Total Fours Over 14.5 @ 1.85
Rajasthan Royals are averaging 15.33 fours per match while playing at Barsapara Cricket Stadium. This season across their last two matches the Royals have smashed 30 fours, averaging 15 per match. They are a strong boundary-hitting side and we back them to clear the 14.5 fours line comfortably in today's fixture.

Hardik Pandya's team had a poor outing with the bat in the last game against the Delhi Capitals. The power-packed batting line managed only 162 runs batting first, going down by 6 wickets. A few changes didn't work in their favor, and the team must get the playing combination right. Pandya expects a more aggressive show from his batters in this game to regain the momentum.
Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma look in good form, and the team expects the pair to deliver a confident start. Suryakumar Yadav top-scored in the last game and must do well in the middle order with Tilak Varma and Sherfane Rutherford. The team expects runs from Hardik Pandya, Mitchell Santner, and Shardul Thakur in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack fought hard in the last game. Trent Boult will make a comeback in this game and needs to strike early with Deepak Chahar. Jasprit Bumrah and Mitchell Santner are key bowlers in this attack and must do well in the middle overs. The team expects strong showings from Shardul Thakur and Mayank Markande in the supporting roles.

Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is large and not the easiest venue for scoring big. Fast bowlers get assistance from the surface early in the game. Batsmen who build their innings have done well. Spinners, who turn the ball sharply, have done well at this venue. The average first-innings score is 152 runs, and the team batting first would like to have 190 on the board.
Total Match Score Under 366.5 @ 1.85
The average total match score across the last three IPL matches played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium is on the lower side at 272 runs. The last three head-to-head matches between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals have also produced a combined total match score of 316 runs. Expect a moderate-scoring match and we predict the total match score to come in under 366.5.

Rajasthan Royals to win the coin toss @ 1.90
We back Rajasthan Royals to win the coin toss in today's match against Mumbai Indians.
Total Match Sixes Under 18.5 @ 1.85
The last three matches between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals have been low six-hitting contests, with an average of just 12 sixes per match. In none of those three matches did the total sixes exceed 14. We predict another low six-hitting affair in today's match and back the total to come in under 18.5.
The conditions are challenging for the batsmen in the first 10 overs, but ease in the second half. The side chasing the score has won the last three out of four games. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first on this track.
The Rajasthan Royals have won both games, but they face their toughest test yet in this game. The bowling attack looks like the weak link in this team, and they must deliver a strong performance against the Mumbai Indians' strong batting lineup. The Mumbai Indians have a good record against the Rajasthan Royals and more depth in the batting. They also have a stronger bowling attack, giving them an edge.
