RR vs MI Match Prediction - Oct 05, 2021

The final few group matches of IPL 2021 are about to take place and teams fighting for the final IPL 2021 Playoffs spot have no margin for error. Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians are both on 10 points from 12 matches so far. Each of these teams has two matches remaining and it must win both of them.

Even that may not be enough for them to qualify as Kolka Knights Riders have a better net run rate than both of these teams. Mumbai Indians have been able to pull a rabbit out of their hat in IPL seasons before but have they left it a bit too late?

The Rajasthan Royals managed to win convincingly against the Chennai Super Kings in the previous match while Mumbai Indians lost a closely fought contest against Delhi Capitals.

Match Prediction and cricket betting tips for Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians IPL 2021. The match is going to be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah on the 5th of October 2021.

RR vs MI Team Previews

Rajasthan Royals

A couple of absolutely stunning batting performances from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube helped the Rajasthan Royals (RR) chase down what looked like a very tough target to get. RR also made the choice of benching Liam Livingstone and bring in Glenn Phillips for the previous match.

It was a tough decision but one that could pay off in the latter parts of the tournament.

Evin Lewis, Glenn Phillips, and David Miller help add a lot of strength to the RR batting line-up that also has most of the Indian youngsters in good form and scoring freely. Whether you are willing to bet on this young Indian lineup to do well against the might of the Mumbai Indians is another thing altogether.

RR also made a number of changes to its bowling lineup. Akash Singh and Mayank Markande were given a go but that may have been down to some injury concerns as well. We could see a change in the bowling lineup once more for this match against Mumbai Indians.

RR has built up some solid momentum and is playing well but gaps in the bowling and a slow playing surface that tests its batsmen could still trip it up.

Mumbai Indians

Another poor batting performance from a Mumbai Indians team that just does not seem to be able to get its act together cost it the match against Delhi Capitals. Sure, the conditions were tough and it lost a crucial toss, but the Mumbai Indians are a champion side that should have adapted better.

None of the batsmen for Mumbai Indians are in good form. They need their senior players to perform and we have seen them lift themselves when they are pushed to the wall in the past. This is that time now.

Jayant Yadav played the previous match but he is usually reserved for matchups against Delhi only so we don’t think he will play this next match. Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Rahul Chahar, and Krunal Pandya are not bad bowlers. They will certainly test the Rajasthan Royals batting lineup.

RR vs MI Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is going to want to field first. Three out of the previous four matches at Sharjah were won by the team that has chased. It should be seen as having a big advantage.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch for the most recent match played at Sharjah between RCB and PBKS was better than most surfaces that have been served up. The fact remains that the underlying nature of the surface is slow and difficult to bat on. The ball becomes very difficult to hit once it gets older and accelerating in the last 5-6 overs is just not happening.

Teams that fall behind the run rate in a chase are unlikely to catch up. Betting opportunities are also available with in-match bets as you can bet ‘Under’ the par score for the 20 overs after the powerplay.

RR vs MI Betting Tips

We are going to bet on Mumbai Indians to win this match. The Mumbai Indians have been disappointed with their lack of performances so far but they did play their most recent match in Sharjah and will hopefully be better prepared for the conditions. Their bowling attack should also test the Rajasthan Royals batting lineup much more than what CSK did.

Bet on Mumbai Indians to win.

We have not seen over 11.5 sixes hit in any of the matches played at Sharjah in the second leg of IPL 2021. This has been the most profitable betting market for us by far. The small boundaries and the big hitters in the teams make this is a risky bet but we are going to ride the wave for as long as possible.

The conditions in Sharjah have been so slow that getting quick runs becomes very difficult after the 10th over or so. This means new batsmen coming in struggle and are eventually forced to take unecessary risks. This is the bet on which we will puyt the biggest amount in this match since we believe it has a great chance of coming through.

All but one of the matches played in Sharjah have had lower total than 155.5 in the first inning. The fact that RCB and PBKS played a relatively high-scoring match in Sharjah just before this one could have shifted the market upward and opened up a clear betting opportunity. Take advantage.
