In the middle-order, MI’s firepower of K Pollard, H Pandya and K Pandya has struggled while batting on the slower track. Batting trio good form is very crucial for MI to go long way in the tournament. On the bowling front, MI got one of the best attacks in the ongoing IPL 2021 edition. Pacers Bumrah and T Boult were outstanding and helped MI defending the below-par total. The bowling duo possesses great skills to bowled in the powerplay and also in death overs.

Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals who had handed the wooden spoon in the previous season looked very desperate to set the record straight in the ongoing season. However, their middle-order worries from the previous season continue. RR are currently placed at 7th place on the table at present with just 4 points from five games. In batting, the Royals are relying heavily on their top-order batsmen like Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson. However, the batting duo has struggled to consistently perform and in the middle-order RR got very less firepower who can win the match on their own. Skipper Sanju Samson had a promising start to the season where he played one of the best knocks in the history of IPL and scored 63 balls 119 which includes 7 sixes and 12 fours opposite KXIP. However, following that, Samson got very little success Opener Jos Buttler, arguably one of the top players in T20 had a quiet season so far. However, Buttler averages 86.33 against MI with 259 runs from 4 innings and he will be hoping to get back in form with some match-winning knock.
In the middle-order, S Dube, R Parag and R Tewatia have played to make an impact and they would be hoping to score some runs and get the confidence. RR would be relying on D Miller and Chris Morris in the middle-order to play some quick runs. RR pace attack comprising J Unadakat, Mustafizur, C Sakariya and C Morris were remarkable in the earlier games on the bowling front. C Morris is a leading wicket-taker for RR with 9 wickets from 5 games. C Sakariya was also impressive in his IPL career of just 5 games; he picked 7 wickets and RR’s best bowler so far. He has shown great courage while bowling upfront and in death overs.
Key Players – S Samson, J Buttler, C Morris
