Ground-Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur
When you see both the teams on paper Mumbai looks better side than Rajasthan. Both teams are facing each other for the first time in this season of IPL. This will be a away game for Mumbai.
Mumbai has played some brilliant cricket in their previous matches. The team is looking very solid with strong bating and bowling unit. Dinesh karthik and Rohit sharma are in great touch, they have taken their side out of struggle in many matches. They have some power hitters in their team like Pollard, he can hit balls miles. The batting look very stable but the only problem is their opening slot. Ponting is still out of form and he will want to score runs in this match
