Mumbai Indians win toss, elect to bat first.
Chennai Super Kings shine late as they secure their fourth win of the season. The MS Dhoni-led unit beat Virat Kohli's RCB by 8 wickets.
For Rajasthan, the biggest worry is the form of skipper Steve Smith, who has made 265 runs from 11 matches and a mis-firing top-order. In the course of the season, Rajasthan have made constant changes at the top and that has hurt them badly.
The team does possess quality players like Ben Stokes (110 runs), Sanju Samson (272 runs) and Jos Buttler (271 runs), but the trio has failed to deliver collectively.
With two crucial points at stake, the management would be hoping that the three click on Sunday, something which has not happened this season.
Rohit’s absence was hardly felt on Friday as the young Ishan Kishan (261 runs) launched into CSK bowlers with gusto. So did Quinton De Kock (368 runs), continuing his sublime run. In the event of Rohit missing out on Sunday as well, the two will open again.
Mumbai’s middle-order has also been among runs — be it Suryakumar Yadav (243 runs), Hardik Pandya (164 runs), swashbuckling West Indian all-rounder Kieron Pollard (208 runs) or Krunal Pandya (82 runs).
With their big-hitting ability, the Pandya brothers and Pollard are a threat to any opposition.
Rohit Sharma might continue to be unavailable for the Rajasthan game. Other than that, MI should go in unchanged. For the Rajasthan Royals, it's do or die time. Any match they lose tilts the balance heavily in favour of them being eliminated. Toss and team news at 7 pm IST.
