IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals
On April 2nd, the Mumbai Indians will be facing the Rajasthan Royals at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai in their next match. Both of these clubs have had a contrasting start to their seasons this year, with the Mumbai Indians losing to the Delhi Capitals in their previous match. Suryakumar Yadav's return, on the other hand, will significantly strengthen their batting lineup, which appeared to be lacking against the Delhi franchise.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, dominated their opening game against Sunrisers Hyderabad and appear to be the side to beat at the moment. They are now at the top of the points table, thanks to their exceptional net run rate and the fact that they have checked off the most of the boxes. Nathan Coulter Nile sustained a minor niggle near the conclusion of the game, and he is expected to be replaced in the starting XI by James Neesham.
