Defending champions Mumbai Indians will take on Rajasthan Royals in their sixth match of IPL 2020 in Abu Dhabi.
Mumbai Indians with three wins from five matches have had a good start and will look to register their fourth win of the tournament. Mumbai's batting, as well as bowling performance, has been good so far. Captain Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan three of the top four order batsmen have got the fifties and the likes of Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, and Krunal Pandya are doing a good job in finishers' role.
In the bowling, Trent Boult and James Pattinson have been good with the new ball as well as the old ball. Although Jasprit Bumrah has been average and he needs to be more consistent with his performance.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals after a good start have lost the plot as they suffered losses in the last two matches. Their top-order batsmen Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, and Steven Smith have to score big runs else they will struggle to post a good total.
In bowling, Jofra Archer has been superb but the likes of Tom Curran, Jaydev Unadkat, and Shreyas Gopal have been disappointing and they need to work on their bowling.
