MI vs RR: Here's the pitch and weather report of the Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals clash in IPL 2022 at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
Five-time champs of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mumbai Indians (MI) will square off against the inaugural champs, Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Saturday. The first of the two blockbuster clashes today, MI vs RR promises to be a high voltage affair as both sides look to build momentum for the season ahead.
While Mumbai Indians lost their opening game against Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2022, they will be boosted by the return of Suryakumar Yadav, who has recovered from an injury recently. Rajasthan Royals began their season on a winning note after beating Sunrisers Hyderabad comfortably and will look to keep the winning run going.
Rohit Sharma's Mumbai is currently languishing in ninth place still looking for their first points for the season, while Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan are sitting pretty in second place in the league standings.
This will be the third match at the DY Patil Stadium, and the pitch so far has been contrasting in both games, but as is the trend, the team winning the toss, will likely choose to bowl first.
