RR vs MI Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2020
Defending champions Mumbai Indians will look to continue their table-topping form when they take on Rajasthan Royals in Abu Dhabi. The Indian Premier League 2020 fixture takes place on October 25 and the live action gets underway at 18:00 local time.
Mumbai Indians thrashed Chennai Super Kings last time out, to move to seven wins in ten games and climb back to the top of the 2020 Indian Premier League table. It is tight at the top with four games to go, however, and every point will be vital.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, need points to keep their slim play-off hopes alive. They suffered a seventh defeat in 11 games last time out to move to remain off the pace of the top four. That is despite Jofra Archer being in top form with the ball.

RR Team News & Playing 11
RR Team News
Tweaks to the batting line-up did not pay off last time out, so Jos Buttler or Steve Smith could move back up the order for this game. Robin Uthappa may open again, however.
RR Key Players
- Jofra Archer: In excellent bowling form this season, he took 2-21 last time out to move to 14 wickets in his last nine matches.
- Jos Buttler: The England batsman has not consistently hit his big-hitting best but when he does fire, there are few better than him.
- Ben Stokes: A late arrival, but like Buttler he only needs to fire once to prove exactly what he can offer – with bat and ball.
RR Team Form
Rajasthan Royals got back to winning ways by beating Chennai Super Kings, but they then lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad last time out to stay off the pace. Jos Buttler smashed 70* in a comfortable chase of 126 to win by seven wickets against CSK. Last time out, however, they posted 154/6 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Jofra Archer’s early burst – taking 2-21 – could not prevent an eight-wicket defeat.
RR Predicted Playing 11
Robin Uthappa, Ben Stokes, Sanju Samson (wk), Jos Buttler, Steve Smith (c), Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Kartik Tyagi, Ankit Rajpoot
MI Team News & Playing 11
MI Team News
Rohit Sharma could miss out again with a hamstring strain, which would mean Kieron Pollard continuing as captain. Ishan Kishan shone in place of Sharma at the top of the order, so Mumbai may be unchanged.
MI Key Players
- Quinton de Kock: More runs last time out, hitting a tidy 46* at the top of the order to ease Mumbai to their dominant win.
- Jasprit Bumrah: Part of the opening burst last time out, he claimed 2-25 to continue his resurgent wicket-taking form this season.
- Trent Boult: The New Zealand paceman claimed 4-18 from his four overs to lead Mumbai to their dominant win last time out.
MI Team Form
After five wins in a row in IPL 2020, Mumbai suffered a rare defeat after their tie with Kings XI Punjab – but only after two super overs. They roared back to winning ways in style, however – Trent Boult’s 4-18 helped limit Chennai Super Kings to 114/9 last time out and Mumbai needed just 12.2 overs to wrap up a ten-wicket win. Ishan Kishan smashed 68* from 37 balls.
MI Predicted Playing 11
Quinton de Kock (wk), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Kieron Pollard (c), Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Nathan Coulter-Nile
RR vs MI Head to Head
Rajasthan had actually beaten Mumbai in four consecutive matches before their match earlier this season. Mumbai were in dominant form earlier this month though. Suryakumar Yadav led the way with 79* in a total of 193/4. In reply, Jasprit Bumrah claimed 4-20 and Jos Buttler’s 70 was the only resistance in a collapse to 136 all out.
