IPL2025: RR vs MI Match Prediction, Playing 11, Best Picks

RR vs MI Match Prediction: The IPL 2025 playoffs race has just gotten more exciting and interesting after Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders, two teams in the lower half of the points table, defeated Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals, respectively, two teams in the upper half of the table, to keep themselves alive in the tournament.

Now, RR will once again take on a side that’s been bossing their last few games and are closer to the playoffs than they are, and that team is the rampant Mumbai Indians. Hardik Pandya’s team have won their last five games—a streak that would have sent shockwaves in all other teams – and have 12 points in 10 games.

RR, on the back of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s historic century, defeated GT and have 6 points in 10 games and are once again in a must-win situation. They will be playing MI at home.
