Pitch Report — ACA Stadium
Guwahati's surface has offered assistance to both batters and bowlers. It's a venue where scoring accelerates in the second half of each innings. The ground dimensions suit big hitters.
Bat first if possible. The pitch has been slightly easier for teams setting a target, and the unknown dew factor adds risk to chasing.
Head-to-Head Record
Mumbai Indians lead Rajasthan Royals 15-11 in their head-to-head record. The Bumrah vs Buttler duel — raw pace against fearless batting — has produced some of the most thrilling moments in recent IPL seasons.
RR vs MI — Match Preview
Two of the IPL's most storied franchises meet in Guwahati. RR's batting lineup — Jaiswal, Buttler, Samson — can destroy any bowling attack on their day, but they face the ultimate test against Jasprit Bumrah, who concedes less than 7 an over in T20s. The battle between India's future (Jaiswal) and India's present (Bumrah) is the headline act. MI desperately need away wins to climb the table.
