IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians, match 44
The Rajasthan Royals will face the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2022 Match 44 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. Both teams have enjoyed contrasting fortunes in the tournament thus far, with the Sanju Samson-led side having won six of their eight games. They are presently ranked second in the points table and are coming off a thrilling win over the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their previous match.
The Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have had a disastrous start to the season, losing all eight of their games, therefore ending their chances of entering the playoffs this season. So far, the Rohit Sharma-led team has struggled in all three categories, with a lack of regular partnerships from the top order being a key issue. Tim David and Fabien Allen are likely to replace Daniel Sams and Dewald Brevis in the starting XI.

This is very much the industry norm. Overall, however, there is something on this track for both hitters and bowlers.
