MI vs RR match prediction
MI have a record of 1-2 at Wankhede so far in 2023 and confidence will be low after two consecutive losses.
Coming up against a high-quality spin attack of RR, featuring Ravichandran Ashwin, Adam Zampa and Yuzvendra Chahal, MI can't afford another poor batting performance.
Unless the likes Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan or Suryakumar Yadav can find the big score which has mostly evaded them so far, we expect to the visitors to take this one out.

MI vs RR best bet
- Pick: Ishan Kishan over 22.5 runs
- Odds: 1.87 (Dafabet)
The MI wicket-keeper has been solid without setting the competition alight so far in 2023.
With just one half century to his name, he'll be keen to put his stamp on the tournament and help arrest Mumbai's slide down the table.
We expect Ishan Kishan to fire with the bat in this one.
MI vs RR outside bet
- Pick: Jos Buttler to score 50
- Odds: 2.68 (Dafabet)
Buttler has been among Rajasthan's best players this tournament, posting three scores of 50 or more from eight innings.
RR will be looking to flex their muscle and compound MI's pain and Buttler could be the man to do just that.
