MI vs RR Dream11: Top fantasy picks, probable XIs & Pitch report

Mumbai Indians will look to notch up their first win of the IPL 2024 campaign when they welcome Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals in a thrilling IPL 2024 encounter on Monday. All eyes will be on MI captain Hardik Pandya and how the Mumbai crowd reacts to their new captain. Pandya has faced flak right from the start of the tournament. He has been booed in different grounds since joining MI to GT. It remains to be seen if the Mumbai crowd is welcoming towards their new skipper.

Mumbai Indians have started their IPL 2024 on the wrong foot. They lost to Gujarat Titans in the first match, and then were hammered by SRH in their second match.

Rajasthan Royals on the other hand haven’t lost a game in IPL 2024 yet, winning their first one LSG and DC respectively.

Match Details

Tournament: IPL 2024

Match: Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals

Date: 01 April, 2024

Time: 7:30 PM IST

Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

Pitch Report

The game is scheduled to take place at one of the world’s flattest wickets, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. The small boundaries and wicket’s characteristics make it a good place to bat. The spinners may get some turn, but the pacers do get some early swing. However, the batters could counter and take control of the game. With the dew factor in mind, chasing might be the best course of action.
