Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals’ match is one of the most anticipated rivalries this season, as both teams have battled it out during recent seasons and fans cannot wait to witness what unfolds on this matchup day.

MI have never won in Jaipur before, but on Thursday that all changed when they overpowered Rajasthan Royals by 100 runs at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Their victory propelled them back to first in the points table while knocking RR out of playoff contention.

Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma quickly established themselves after an uneventful start, piercing through the field with ease while keeping up their run-scoring momentum – reaching 118 runs at two after powerplay one and looking on course for an unprecedented total.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi was dispatched for a duck with the first ball of the fourth over. This came shortly after making his IPL debut only days earlier. Yashasvi Jaiswal attempted to provide some respite before Jasprit Bumrah struck again, bowling him out in eight over.

Hardik Pandya stood in his huddle and told everyone what they needed to know through some amateur lip-reading: “Finish them”. And that is exactly what the bowlers did; Dhruv Jurel, Maheesh Theekshana and Kumar Kartikeya all went cheaply before Jofra Archer struck and the Royals were out for just 117 in 16.1 overs, leaving Mumbai easy victory.

Match Predictions

Riyan Parag’s Rajasthan Royals take on Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur in IPL 2025 on Thursday (May 1). They enter this game riding high from their one-sided victory against Gujarat Titans last time out, powered by Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s one-day hundred. While this victory boosted their playoff chances significantly, both their batting and bowling units still require improvement in terms of performance and consistency.

MI has since their initial struggles been going full tilt and are currently second on the points table. Their lineup combines runs scoring with wicket taking to form a formidable side that is difficult to beat; Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Surya Kumar Yadav and Mitchell Santner have all shown strong form with their bat while Jasprit Bumrah, Boult and Deepak Chahar have shown excellent bowling performances as well.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has been one of RR’s stand-out batsmen this season, hitting four scores over fifty and narrowly missing out on five in just his last innings against RCB. He can pose serious problems to any opposition team and should play an instrumental role for them against MI.

Head-to-head records between RR and MI have historically been evenly balanced, with 15 wins each throughout IPL history. However, this year is different, as per the IPL stats and odds calculator the Mumbai Indians are favoured to win this match with odds of 1.58 while RR have 2.48 available betting odds available as odds to win this match at kick-off at 7:30 pm local time – it should make for an exciting encounter that would put one team one step closer towards taking one of two spots on the points table so RR will have 2.48 available while MI are priced to win this matchup as favourites as it will help cement one team’s position towards this season’s final matchups with both teams fighting hard for one spot on points table and victory would put one step towards that goal – or vice versa depending on who will win this encounter at least one team’s chances!
