PREVIEW FOR DREAM11 FANTASY:
Mumbai Indians are in great form after beating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 37 runs. MI bowlers Trent Boult, Jame Pattison, and Bumrah have performed really good by picking 2 wickets each. And the wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock played an excellent knock of 67 in just 39 balls. They really have that excellent mix of players and the added advantage for them is they have that extra bowling option and there is no question on their batting line-up. They really have some good players who can easily smack the ball out of the park and even they have some good tail-ender batsmen.
Rajasthan Royals has started their tournament really good, but somewhere they have lost that momentum. They have lost the previous match against Royal Challengers Bangalore by 8 wickets. Star players like Sanju Samson, Buttler, and the skipper Smith failed to perform. And there were a lot of chances given to Robin Uthappa but still, he has not made his mark on the side and the RR franchise might look to replace him. They need to regroup and need to come up with a great strategy in order to beat a team like MI.
