Preview
Rajasthan Royals will take on Mumbai Indians in the 38th match of the IPL 2024 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Following their six wins in the first seven matches of the ongoing IPL season, RR are four points ahead of the rest of the competition at the top of the table. After a slow start to the IPL 2024 season, Mumbai Indians have picked up steam at the right time, winning three of their last four matches in the tournament.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium have been full of runs in the IPL 2024, but it also allows the spinners to stay in the contest with some turns and a bit of indifferent bounce. The average first-inning score at this venue is 161 in IPL history, which probably won’t be enough to defend, especially when totals above 180 have been chased down successfully multiple times here this season.
Team Analysis
Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals chased down the highest total in the history of the IPL against Kolkata Knight Riders, thanks mainly to the batting heroics of Jos Buttler, who scored his seventh century in the tournament for the franchise. On the bowling side of things, the bashing of Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin at the hands of Sunil Narine with the bat isn’t ideal for RR in their quest to consistently win matches in the IPL 2024.
IPL 2024 Squad of Rajasthan Royals
Sanju Samson (c), Jos Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Donovan Ferreira, Kunal Rathore, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Sen, Navdeep Saini, Sandeep Sharma, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, Rovman Powell, Shubham Dubey, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Abid Mushtaq, Nandre Burger, Tanush Kotian, Keshav Maharaj. Players injured/withdrawn: Prasidh Krishna, Adam Zampa.
Mumbai Indians
The return to form for Suryakumar Yadav, along with the consistency from Rohit Sharma, is a great sign for Mumbai Indians to put up big totals regularly for the remainder of the IPL 2024. Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee are currently in the top five list for the highest wicket-takers in the ongoing season of the IPL, but they need support from the rest of the bowlers to ensure that the opposition batting lineups don’t run away from them.

Match Prediction
Conclusion
Although Rajasthan Royals have been winning consistently in the IPL 2024, their bowlers have conceded totals over 180 on multiple occasions at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur this season. With that, the Mumbai Indians batting lineup will be fancying their chances of scoring a big total against them, which could prove to be enough for a win.
