RR vs MI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: IPL 2024 38th Match | RR vs MI Dream11 Prediction Today | Jaipur Pitch Report

Mumbai Indians have won three of their past four matches, but still have little room for error. The top four teams are in good form, including Rajasthan Royals who sit pretty atop the table with six wins in seven games.

MI need a more well-rounded bowling display if they are to challenge RR. Jasprit Bumrah has been outstanding and Gerald Coetzee has been in the wickets, but they need to produce more as a unit. If they do, their batting has enough runs in them to challenge the Royals.

Earlier this season, RR blew MI away courtesy of Trent Boult upfront. If the same happens again, Mumbai’s playoffs hopes will fall further in the mire as they remain in the negatives when it comes to net run rate.
