IPL 2025, Match - 50 | RR vs MI | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will lock horns with Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 50th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. RR ended their five-match losing streak with a stunning victory over the Gujarat Titans in their last game. Whereas, MI are currently at the second spot with 6 wins from 10 games. They have won their last 5 games and will be fancying their chances of continuing the winning run.

Rajasthan Royals, captained by Riyan Parag, are coming off a dominant 8-wicket win against the Gujarat Titans, where Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 101* from 38 balls stole the show. RR had a mixed season with 4 wins from 10 matches; the batting lineup is dependent on Yashasvi Jaiswal , Suryavanshi and Parag. The bowling lineup, led by Jofra Archer, with Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana providing spinning options, is more suited to Jaipur's conditions, with Sandeep Sharma adding experience if needed. 

On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians, under Hardik Pandya, are in excellent form, having won 5 matches consecutively and sitting second in the standings. MI's batting lineup of Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton, with an explosive batting attack, also possesses Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult as the bowlers that augment their bowling strategy. The MI team is riding the momentum of their recent string of victories, but the Rajasthan faction has home advantage and may be able to make it a closer contest than expected.
