Today, Harley is practically saying goodbye
The Rajasthan Royals will now want to keep their rhythm after the Chennai Super Kings continued their winning streak in the United Arab Emirates. They will face Mumbai Indians in Sharjah on Tuesday. Both the teams are playing 12 matches at the moment and stand at 10 points. The team that loses today will practically be knocked out of the competition.
Chasing a huge target of 190 runs in the previous match, Rajasthan smashed Chennai’s bowling and pocketed the match. Yashwasi Jaiswal and Shivam Dubey would like to maintain the form of that match even today. On the other hand, the recent form of Mumbai Indians is not good at all. In the last match against Delhi, he made only 129 runs in 20 overs.
As much depends on the outcome of today’s match, which team will go one step further towards the play-offs and which team will be out of the competition, so a tense match can be expected today. Let’s take a look at some of the statistics of the fight between the two teams.
Mumbai Indians ahead head-to-head
In the history of IPL, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals have been fighting on an equal footing. In the match between the two teams, Mumbai is leading 13-12. Mumbai had won the last time the two teams played this season. Last year, when the IPL was held in the United Arab Emirates, the two teams won one match each. A small field like Sharjah but the fate of the match depends on how the batsmen adapt to the slow pitch.
