IPL Match 45: MI vs RR

In the final game of the week as match 45 of the IPL 2020, Rohit Sharma led Mumbai Indians to lock their horns with Rajasthan Royals in Abu Dhabi.

MI defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to announce their resounding 10-wicket triumph in Sharjah. Mumbai Indians will look towards fixing their spot in the playoffs as they win today’s match.

While RR, who has struggled in the tournament, will find it difficult to halt MI’s players. For RR, nothing has clicked so far and they have been the most inconsistent side in the tournament.

Rajasthan Royals are on the verge of elimination and will have to play out of their skins to get a win against the Mumbai Indians.
