How do the teams stack up?
Mumbai Indians
This is one side which has been famous for making a dramatic comeback in the tournament. They are trying to achieve the same feat this year as well. Surayakumar Yadav & Ishan Kishan is the find for MI this year in their batting lineup. With Rohit and Lewis not in good form, they have played some gutsy innings. MI would want them to continue the same role. Bowling department has not been at the best this year but Markande and Pandya brothers have done some damage. They might bring in Milne instead of Duminy for this match to have some depth in bowling.
Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals is battling like a one man army with Jos Butler doing all the work on batting field. The team needs other players to play their part now. Rahane, Stokes, Gowtam need to score runs. Samson is the only other batsman who has been in supporting role with Butler. Ish Sodhi has been a brilliant addition to the team. He has proved his worth in the last two matches. They might bring back Tripathi and kulkarni to add some experience in batting and bowling respectively.
