Indian Premier League 2019 | MI vs RR | MI vs RR 26th Match DOTBALL PREDICTION TIPS, GUIDE AND PREVIEW
Mumbai, April 12th, Saturday at 04:00 PM IST
The Wankhede will host a clash between the home favorites Mumbai Indians (MI) who are on a roll with three wins in a row and Rajasthan Royals (RR) who have a sole win in their six games. Rajasthan Royals suffered a heartbreaking final over defeat against CSK at home in the last over which was dominated by controversy of a wrong no ball call by the line umpire and MS Dhoni barging into the field in an inappropriate manner. RR will be looking at gaining some momentum by defeating the formidable MI at home before it is too late.
MI vs RR Dotball Preview
Will Mumbai Indians’ Dream Run Continue on ESA day?
Mumbai Indians will be playing their second consecutive game at home. Their emphatic last ball victory against Kings XI Punjab will boost their morale in a positive way. Pollard’s blistering 83 off 31 balls was a game changer and getting the West Indian back to form is a huge turnaround for Mumbai Indians as they were struggling with a poor middle order batting performance. The Pandya brothers were a turn off in the last game and will be expected to bounce back in this game. Rohit sat out the last game while Siddhesh Lad failed to make the most of his debut opportunity after bench warming in the last edition of the IPL. The bowling unit will look to focus more on yorkers in the death overs.
Rajasthan Royals – Looking for Redemption Before It’s Too Late!

Rajasthan Royals have a lot of expectations riding on their shoulders after a disastrous start to the tournament this year. However, the grit and determination shown by Ajinkya Rahane’s boys was encouraging. Batting unit with the likes of Steve Smith, Sanju Samson and Buttler has looked bleak and not much initiative has been taken by the experienced contenders like Ben Stokes. Rahul Tripathi has shined at times but it has not been game changing. The bowling unit too has struggled with Dhawal Kulkarni and Shreyas Gopal performing at times but not on a consistent basis.
Pitch Analysis and Statistics
Wankhede has been a batsman’s paradise with DC scoring 213 in the first game which MI failed to chase. However, chasing is preferred in this wicket as dew begins to set towards the beginning of the second innings.
Average 1st innings score: 168
