The match 36 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 will be going to take place between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on Saturday, April 20.
Royals are currently seventh in the points table, having picked four points from eight matches. In their last encounter, the Ajinkya Rahane-led side lost to Kings XI Punjab by 12 runs, a match they threw away chasing 183 for victory after being in the chase till the halfway mark.
Mumbai, on the contrary, are on a rampage after winning four out of their last five contests. Last night Rohit Sharma and Co gave Delhi Capitals (DC) nightmares in the latter’s own den with a 40-run victory. Subsequently, they moved one inch closer to a playoff berth.

Pitch and Weather Condition/Report:
The temperature during the match time would start from 34 degree Celsius and would come down to 31 degree Celsius by the end. The humidity would be on the lower side as well. There will be a bit of cloud cover, but that’s far from threatening. Dew is not expected to play a part.
The pitch has been a good one for batting, but the bowlers have also had their say. Since the first match between RR and KXIP, all three games were won by the team, batting second. Hence, the opponents may want to field first after winning the toss. Nevertheless, the track may favour the bowlers a bit more, bearing in mind that dew won’t be coming to the fore.
