Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be looking to win back-to-back games in the 2025 Indian Premier League season when they take on Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Thursday evening. This is a must-win game for the Royals if they want to remain relevant in the race for the playoffs, while Mumbai have the opportunity to finish the round at the top of the table.
With only three wins in 10 matches, Rajasthan Royals are surely way behind the goals they would have set for themselves at the start of the IPL 2025 season. But this is the sad reality. This team is likely to end the campaign outside the top four, and without the playoffs.
For Mumbai Indians, the only way is up, based on current form. They are the most in-form team in the league at the moment, and this is dangerous for the rest of the teams, considering the history of Mumbai, who tend to perform better in the second half of the campaign.
