Mumbai Indians are the most accomplished franchise in T20 cricket, having won five IPL T20 trophies and two CLT20 titles. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have suffered years of mediocrity after winning the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League. Despite being mostly average, Rajasthan Royals is one of the few teams who have given a tough fight to Mumbai. That makes the MI vs RR prediction a very interesting one.

With the introduction of two new franchises for the IPL 2022, the eight existing teams were forced to rebuild their squads from scratch. MI had a tricky situation regarding their retentions as there were several quality contenders.

In the end, they retained Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard and Suryakumar Yadav. The franchise had to release their key players such as Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Krunal Pandya and Trent Boult.

As per the latest news, MI and RR will be part of the same group in the IPL 2022, where they will face each other twice in the league stage and that could impact the MI vs RR contests today in terms of the match prediction. Both the teams look pretty neck and neck, however, the RR vs MI prediction is likely to favour Mumbai Indians.

MI vs RR Match Prediction

As we said before, Rajasthan Royals is one of the teams who have done well against Mumbai Indians but that hasn’t stopped the five-time champions from leading the head to head record.

Out of 26 matches between the two sides, MI have won 14 matches while RR have claimed 12. For this, the MI vs RR match prediction will incline towards Mumbai Indians.

In the auction, MI brought in some excellent players such as Tim David, Riley Meredith, Tymal Mills and Daniel Sams. They also spent big bucks on securing Jofra Archer and Dewald Brevis for the future seasons.

MI also bought a few Indian talents in N Tilak Varma, Sanjay Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, Murugan Ashwin and Mayank Markande.

Rajasthan Royals had to think beyond Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer due to availability issues. They opted to retain Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal. RR tried to get Archer back but MI were too adamant.

RR had some very good picks in the auction such as Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shimron Hetmyer and Trent Boult, all of whom are likely to slot into the playing XI.

The Royals also brought in Prasidh Krishna and Devdutt Padikkal along with their star young player Riyan Parag. The Padikkal pick, in particular, was a perplexing one.

Nathan Coulter-Nile is likely to be their no. 7 while Jimmy Neesham, Rassie van der Dussen and Daryl Mitchell were picked as overseas backups.

MI vs RR Match Prediction
Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2021.

As for the squads, that could well determine the MI vs RR match prediction, for the IPL 2022, as both the teams have their strengths and weaknesses.

The Royals’ batting unit includes Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer. Devdutt Padikkal’s addition is likely to force them to tweak the batting order.

They have a fantastic spin duo in Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, both of whom should start in the playing XI, but the pace attack of Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna and Nathan Coulter-Nile can be taken apart, especially if the pitch report on the matchday isn’t in the favor of pacers.

Mumbai Indians have a strong top order of Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav. Tim David is one of the best power strikers in the T20 arena and will partner with Kieron Pollard.

The seam bowling attack of Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills and Daniel Sams/Riley Meredith looks good. The spin options after Rahul Chahar leaving are Murugan Ashwin, Mayank Markande and Sanjay Yadav and they aren’t a huge threat although only one of them might in the playing XI.

Overall, the two teams match up pretty well against each other and we are sure to have some very competitive action. However, Mumbai Indians will have a slight edge in the IPL today match prediction for upcoming RR vs MI clashes.

The MI vs RR is a tough contest today and the match prediction could hinge on some of the superstars in the team. Keep an eye on the latest team news for any injury concerns.
