RR vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Match 50 of IPL 2025 brings Rajasthan Royals (RR) up against Mumbai Indians (MI) this Thursday in Jaipur. RRโs season hasnโt gone to planโtheyโve managed just three wins from ten games and dropped the other seven. That said, theyโll take some momentum into this clash after thrashing Gujarat Titans in their last outing. Mumbai, on the other hand, are flying high, sitting second on the table thanks to five straight victories. With RR on their turf and coming off a much-needed win, theyโll back themselves to give MI a real fight. TEAMS PREVIEW Rajasthan Royals Preview After losing five straight games and slipping to ninth, Rajasthan Royals came out of nowhere to thump Gujarat Titans, chasing 210 in just 15.5 overs. The turnaround was powered by 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who smashed a 35-ball century โ the second fastest in IPL history. His opening partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal, stayed unbeaten on 70 off 40, helping seal the win in style. This fresh opening combo has brought a bit of life back to Rajasthanโs campaign. With 426 runs under his belt this season, Jaiswal has been the only steady hand besides the rising star Suryavanshi. The rest of the lineup hasnโt stepped up, though. Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel have had time in the middle but havenโt made it count consistently. Shubham Dubey and Nitish Rana have been off the mark consistently, and Shimron Hetmyer, once expected to finish games, has fallen flat โ 187 runs in nine games just doesnโt cut it. With the ball, itโs mostly been Jofra Archer doing the heavy lifting โ 10 wickets at 9.57 economy โ but heโs had little help. Tushar Deshpande and Sandeep Sharma have been expensive, and while Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana have picked up 19 wickets between them, theyโve leaked runs at the wrong times, which has hurt Rajasthan more than once. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians had a rough start to the season, but theyโve flipped the script in style. Five straight wins have shot them up to second place, with 12 points from 10 matches. Their latest win was a thumping 54-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants at home, where they racked up 215-7. The batting is coming together nicely. Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma have been a bit hit-or-miss, but theyโve done enough up top to get things going. Rohitโs timing looks sharp againโhe scored two 70s last week before missing out in the last game. Still, his return to form is a big plus with the playoffs approaching. The real impact, though, is coming from the middle order. Suryakumar Yadav is tearing it upโ427 runs in nine games, averaging 61 and striking at 169.44. His last three innings? 68* off 37, 40* off 19, and 54 off 28. Heโs playing with total confidence right now. Tilak Varma is bringing energy and clean striking to the middle as well. Heโs been great at pushing the tempo. Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have chipped in with late cameos that can swing momentum in no time. Pandyaโs contributing with the ball tooโ12 wickets and a 9.11 economy rate. Deepak Chahar has eight wickets under his belt, though heโs been expensive in his final overs. Weather Conditions The pitch at Sawai Mansingh Stadium provides reliable bounce with a firm base beneath its light grass layer. Batsmen will find true pace once they settle in after the initial overs. Spinners may struggle as dew sets in during the evening session. The ground dimensions favor big hits, with 65-meter straight boundaries and slightly longer 75-meter square boundaries. Expect hot, dry conditions in Jaipur, though the match won’t face any rain interruptions. The weather guarantees a complete game without delays. RR vs MI Pitch Report The average score batting first at Sawai Mansingh Stadium is 163. But the pitches here this season have usually been good for batting. The team batting first in this match will be eyeing a score of around 200+ to feel confident about their chances. Toss: To Bowl Batting second is usually the better option at Jaipur, with 39 of the 61 domestic T20s played here, including the last one, being won by the chasing side. Thus, both teams are likely to field first here.
