RR vs MI, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 44
Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 44th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Saturday. RR will be keen to extend their impressive run in the tournament, while MI are still looking for their first win this season.
Rajasthan have won their last three games and are sitting pretty in second position in the points table. In their previous game, they got the better of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), without significant contributions from Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal. Riyan Parag scored a brisk fifty, while Kuldeep Sen (4/20) and Ravichandran Ashwin (3/17) shone with the ball.
Mumbai, meanwhile, did reasonably well with the ball in their last outing, restricting Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to 168 for 6, despite KL Rahul’s hundred. However, their batting, not for the first time this season, let them down.
RR beat MI by 23 runs the last time these two teams met, so Rajasthan will go in with the upper hand yet again.
