RR vs MI: Head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 51 of IPL 2021
After ending Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) winning streak in IPL 2021, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be keen to continue their momentum against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Sharjah.
Both RR and MI have 10 points to their names from 12 matches. The upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 fixture will decide which team moves a step closer to the IPL playoffs.
The Royals shocked the Super Kings in their previous outing with some splendid batting performances from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube. Meanwhile, MI's star-studded batting lineup has struggled to get going in the UAE this year. In their last IPL 2021 match, MI batted for 20 overs against the Delhi Capitals (DC) but could only score 129 runs.
While MI hope to up their game, RR will look forward to continuing in the same vein. Before the two teams cross paths in IPL 2021 tonight, here's a look at their head-to-head stats.
