Match 69 of the Indian Premier League will see the Mumbai Indians take on the Rajasthan Royals in an exciting clash on Sunday, May 24. The highly anticipated encounter will be played at the Wankhede Stadium.

Mumbai Indians Preview

The Mumbai Indians are in a mixed run of form and already have nothing left to play for apart from pride following their worst performance in a long time. They are already out of the playoff spot after the five-time champions picked up only four wins from their 13 games. On Wednesday, MI suffered a four-wicket defeat to the Kolkata Knight Riders. Mumbai finds themselves sitting just a place above the rock point with eight points. The top run scorer for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League 2026 is Ryan Rickelton with 436 runs.

Rajasthan Royals Preview

The Rajasthan Royals will see this game as a crucial one, as a victory here over the Mumbai Indians will guarantee Riyan Parag's men a berth in the knockouts phase. Rajasthan finally put to bed a terrible run of three losses in their last game as they claimed a seven-wicket win over the Lucknow Super Giants on Wednesday. The win put them in a good position for the playoffs as they head into this game sitting fifth in the point standings with 14 points from 13 games. The top run scorer for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League 2026 is Vaibhav Suryavanshi with 579 runs to his name.
