Mumbai suffered a one-sided defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings and before that MI had lost to Delhi Capitals. Rajasthan have also been riding rough posting just two wins this season. But crucially they are coming off a six-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders.
According to reports RR are out in the market looking to recruit few players from other teams as their overseas reserves are low.
Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes, are out with injuries, Liam Livingstone couldn’t bear the stress of a long bio-bubble, while Andrew Tye departed to Australia before his country locked out.
The Rajasthan franchise is now left with only four foreign players -- David Miller, Chris Morris, Mustafizur Rahman and Jos Buttler- and all four are playing this game as well.
Both teams have four points, but MI, despite two losses, start favourites.
