MI vs RR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 14th Match | MI vs RR Dream11 Prediction Today | Wankhede Pitch Report

A slow start to the season is not strange for the Mumbai Indians. But, this feels different. The spotlight is on their skipper Hardik Pandya, with R Ashwin coming out in support of the all-rounder. Also, the MI bowling attack is reeling after conceding a record 278 against SRH.

However, the fact they threatened to chase down the total shows the power they have. They are home for the first time this season, and there is no better way to mark the homecoming than with a win against the Rajasthan Royals.

Samson’s Royals are two from two. They overcame a challenging start against Delhi Capitals, with Riyan Parag emphasising how much he loves the number four role. A win at Mumbai will send an even bigger statement to the rest of the league.
