RR v MI, IPL 2021: Today match players list & umpires
Floundering sides Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will battle it out in match number 51 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in Sharjah on Tuesday. Both RR and MI are on shaky ground as far as qualifying for the playoffs is concerned.
Both RR and MI have accumulated only 12 points from 10 games. Rajasthan are above Mumbai in the points table only on the basis of their net run rate.
While Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore have qualified, the fourth slot is still open. Kolkata look the strongest contender to qualify as the fourth team with 12 points from 13 games and an excellent net run rate (+0.294).
In their previous match, RR stunned CSK by seven wickets, chasing down 190 in emphatic fashion. MI’s poor run continued, though, as they succumbed to DC by four wickets.
