The recent form of Rajasthan Royals is not good however they performed quite well in the last match against Gujarat Titans, winning the match in just 15 overs courtesy to Vaibhav Suryavanshi who scored the fastest 100 by an Indian player in IPL. Rajasthan Royals are eyeing on a comeback. Mumbai Indians have already made a comeback this season with their five wins in the last five matches. They will now look to win the sixth match in a row to climb to the first spot in the points table.
Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians have produced some of the most historic matches in IPL history like the one with Aditiya Tare scored a much needed six off James Faulkner to seal the playoffs for Mumbai Indians. Another incident where Krishnappa Gowtham finished the match with his 33 off 11 balls against Mumbai Indians at the same Sawai Mansingh Stadium in 2018. These two teams have played a total of 30 matches against each other, Mumbai have 15 wins while Rajasthan Royals have 14 wins.
Rajasthan Royals have had a rough IPL season in 2025. They only managed to win three games out of 10 matches they have played. Rajasthan Royals are sitting in the 8th place in the points table with six points in their bank. They have a solid squad but they show lack of confidence in the pressure situations to lose matches. They could have 6 wins in this season but they lost two close matches to Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They lost a super over against Delhi Capitals, making it hard for themselves to make it into the playoffs.
Mumbai Indians are back to their best. They’ve registered 6 wins in 10 matches and are looking well-set for the playoffs. They are known for comebacks and are doing the exact same this season as well. Mumbai Indians have had a solid season since the first match but players' form was the main reason Mumbai Indians lost four matches out of their first five games. However they are back on track with their players back in form. Players like Rohti Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav are performing well in the last few matches. In this match their performances will define Mumbai Indians result. In the last match against Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians defeat them by 54 runs after scoring 215 runs in the first innings. Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton both scored 50 in the last game. Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult took four and three wickets respectively.
In the first case, If Mumbai Indians win the toss and bowls first, then Rajasthan Royals are expected to score a total of 60-70 runs in the powerplay. DC scored a total of 200-210 runs in their 20 overs, Mumbai Indians chased down this total in the season innings to win the match.
In the second case, If Rajasthan Royals wins the toss to decide bowling first, Mumbai Indians will score 50-60 runs in the powerplay and a total of 190-200 but Rajasthan Royals will chase down this target in the second innings.
So, in both situations, the Chasing Team are predicted to win the match.

Surya is in red-hot form this season for Mumbai Indians. He has scored 427 runs in 10 matches with an amazing average of 61. He recently made 68* against CSK, 54 against LSG, and 40* against SRH. He plays quick shots all over the ground and finishes games with style. Surya already has 3 fifties this season and is Mumbai’s most reliable batter. Suryakumar Yadav has not been dismissed under 20 in his last 10 innings which is an insane number for anybody playing at this level. He is a top choice for any Dream11 fantasy team right now.
Bumrah is leading Mumbai’s bowling attack with smart and deadly bowling. He has taken 9 wickets in just 6 games and is known for bowling in pressure moments. He recently picked 4 wickets for 22 runs against LSG, and 2 wickets against CSK. Bumrah gives very few runs and troubles even the best batters. With an economy of just 7.5, he is one of the best bowlers this IPL. He is a key player to watch in every match.
The recent form of Mumbai Indians is way better than Rajasthan Royals and they are clear favorites to win this match against Rajasthan Royals. However at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, the chasing team has more chances to win the match. This match will also be dominated by the team chasing the target.
