IPL 2020 LIVE SCORE, Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals Live Updates: A great success for Gopal and Rajasthan. Both Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan went for the big shots against Gopal, but the poor execution resulted in his dismissal. Krunal Pandya is the new hitter in. Two races and two terrains in the end. It’s time for Rajasthan to squeeze Mumbai and control the racing flow.
Advance: The Mumbai Indians face the Rajasthan Royals in the 20th game of the Indian Premier League in Abu Dhabi. The defending champions have been in good shape and will enter the game with consecutive victories. They beat Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad convincingly in their last two matches and are at the top of the table. They would hope to carry that momentum forward.
Kock’s Quinton starter found some form against Sunrisers Hyderabad hitting a 67 of 39 balls and would look to carry that confidence forward in this game. The biggest threat to RR would be IM powerhouse hitters Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard, who have looked sinister the last two games. The other positive aspects of MI have been the way his pacemakers have improved when Bumrah has had a bad day. Trent Boult and James Pattinson have impressed. Bumrah took two wickets in the last game but managed 41 runs, but if he returns to his best, RR will have a rough ride. MI could go with the same side, as they would not want to play the winning combination.
RR, on the other hand, would seek to get back on the winning track having lost his way with two losses after starting with two wins. Both losses were extensive and they would seek to recover strongly. His middle order has been his Achilles heel and he needs to shoot big. Robin Uthappa has failed and so has Riyan Parag. After a spectacular start, Sanju Samson has had scores of 4 and 8. A much better hitting performance is the need of the hour. Don’t be surprised if RR decides to leave Uthappa.
With confidence and drive on their side, MI starts off as favorites.
