By the time this game gets underway on Monday evening in Mumbai, we will have already enjoyed 13 full games in this year's Indian Premier League. Once again, the tournament is living up to the hype and we have already seen some records broken as batters continue to break new ground in the short format.
But this will be the first game of this campaign at the world famous Wankhede Stadium and that brings with it its own challenges and features.
Mumbai Indians will be delighted to finally get an opportunity to play in front of their home fans, least of all skipper Hardik Pandya who has been booed throughout the tournament so far.

Until Suryakumar Yadav is fit enough to play for Mumbai Indians, the side will never be at full strength and the noises coming out of the camp are that this game will once again come too soon for the free-spirited 360-hitting right-hander.
Those who watch the IPL from afar will be scratching their heads to understand how a team who has immense batting power, as well as Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah providing the pace options, not to mention Piyush Chawla's spin, are down at the foot of the table.
The truth is they have actually put in a couple of decent performances which otherwise could have seen them win two out of two. We advise all pundits to certainly not write off the chances of Mumbai Indians for this year's IPL.
Mumbai Indians on average smashed 12.5 sixes per game this season. In the 2023 IPL season the home team on average hit 11 sixes per game. Our prediction for today's match is Mumbai Indians to hit over 9.5 sixes.

Rajasthan Royals showed the strength in their batting line-up in their win over Delhi Capitals when their big top three of Yashasvi Jaiswal (5), Jos Buttler (11) and Sanju Samson (15) all failed. But no-one seemingly noticed as Riyan Parag posted 84 not out from 45 balls from number four as the side posted 185/5.
Nandre Burger impressed with the ball again as the South African pacer got the big wickets of Mitchell March and RK Bhui. There were also a couple of dismissals for the ever so consistent and irrepressible Yuzvendra Chahal.
The bottom line is that Rajasthan Royals have quality throughout their XI, and will be very tough to beat in this game.
The men in Pink, Rajasthan Royals smashed 21 sixes in two matches this season and on average hit 10.5 sixes per game. The Royals have always had a good six hitting record against Mumbai Indians and the last time they played at Wankhede they smashed 12 sixes. Considering the power hitters in their batting lineup and the ground dimensions in Mumbai, we back Rajasthan Royals to hit over 8.5 sixes in today's match.

It will be hot throughout the evening in Mumbai with the temperature dropping no lower than 29 degrees. Clear skies with humidity likely to be around 65% from start to finish.

Average TurnThe average score batting first at this ground is 169 but that number has increased over recent years. We can expect a pitch with good pace in it and the stroke-making batters will have plenty of opportunity to use that pace to their advantage.
The total average aggregate score at Wankhede Stadium in the 2023 IPL season was 393 runs. The last time Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals clashed off at the Wankhede it was run-feast where the total aggregate score was 416 runs. It is a high scoring venue and we predict the total score of the match to be over 364.5 runs.
Statistically and historically, the teams batting second at the Wankhede Stadium have come out on top so we expect that both sides will choose to bowl should they win the toss ahead of this match.
This has all the ingredients to be a classic contest at the Wankhede Stadium. Rajasthan Royals have begun the tournament strongly but we think that Mumbai Indians' position at the bottom of the pile is a false one based on their performances. In front of their home fans, we are expecting them to get their tournament up and running so we are predicting a victory for Mumbai Indians.
