IPL 2022: MI vs RR, Match 09: Pitch Report, Probable XI and Match Prediction

Five times champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on the 2008 winners Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 9 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). This tie will take place at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Satu🎉rday, April 2.

In their tournament opener against Delhi Capitals (DC), MI were good with the bat – the openers fired, the middle-order too chipped in. But, the bowlers could not capitalise on the start they got in the first ten overs. The duo of Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel smashed MI pa💞cers to all parts of the ground, adding an un𝓀beaten 75-run stand off just 3🎀0 balls. MI eventually lost the match by five wickets.

On the other hand, RR registered a thumping win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their first match. The Sanju Samson-led side posted 210/6 on t🍎he board and then defended the total by restricting Kane Williamson & Co. on 149 for 7.
