Indian T20 League 2024

RAJ vs MUM, 38th Match

Preview

Rajasthan will be crossing swords with Mumbai for the 38th match of the Indian T20 League 2024. The Sawai Mann Singh Stadium at Jaipur will host the game on Monday, April 22. 

Both teams will be in the seventh heaven as they managed thrilling victories in their most recent matches.

Rajasthan set the record for chasing the joint-highest total in the league's history. Jos Buttler’s terrific hundred led the side to pull off an incredible win against the Knights. 

On the other side, Hardik Pandya and Co. won their last match against Punjab by a margin of 9 runs. Great spells by Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee aided the five-time champions to win the away battle. Despite the heroics of Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh, Punjab fell short of the target. The Blue sides have been involved in some of the most intense battles in the league. The 1000th match of the league was also played between the sides in 2023. 

Cricket enthusiasts would be hoping to witness some great rivalries between players of both sides in the upcoming encounter. Though Rajasthan has lost one game so far this season and will also play at their home ground, we cannot write off Mumbai’s chance of winning, as they are gradually becoming more stable with each match.

Date: Monday, April 22, 2024

Time: 07:30 PM

Venue: Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur

Pitch and Weather Report

The surface here begins to slow down as the match progresses. The spinners will get a good grip and turn here. The batsmen need to focus on the ball for a few overs before they can freely swing the bat. The Sawai Mansingh Stadium isn’t the most comfortable venue to bat on, but any score over 180 is difficult to chase here. 

The weather is predicted to remain a bit warm with a temperature around 32 degrees Celsius.

Match Prediction

Mumbai have struggled with their consistency but are gradually performing well as a team. The middle order hasn’t fired till now, and skipper Hardik will expect a strong show from their bowling attack to win this match. Rajasthan have been the strongest team this year thus far, and their batters have troubled opponents consistently. Despite all odds, we can see a fair chance of Mumbai winning this game.
