RR vs MI Pitch Report: Will rain play a spoilsport in Guwahati clash after disrupting yesterday’s match?

Rajasthan Royals are set to take on Mumbai Indians at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on April 7. RR has two consecutive wins; the Riyan Parag-led side will be confident, but they face a tough challenge against a Mumbai team packed with explosive hitters.

Hardik Pandya is also expected to return after missing the previous match against Delhi Capitals due to illness.

Rajasthan Royals’ Strong Momentum

Rajasthan have enjoyed an impressive run so far this season, with most aspects of their game clicking well. The opening duo of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal has provided consistent starts, while Dhruv Jurel showcased his ability in the previous match against Gujarat Titans.


Their bowling attack has also performed well, with Jofra Archer, Ravi Bishnoi, and Nandre Burger displaying their quality. The team will look to carry this momentum forward.

Pitch Report: Barsapara Cricket Stadium

The pitch at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium is expected to favour bowlers early in the game. Due to consistent rainfall, the surface has remained covered for much of the time, which could assist seamers initially.

Teams winning the toss may prefer to bowl first, especially with rain likely to play a role. A first-innings score of 190 or more could prove competitive for the side batting first.

Weather Conditions

Weather conditions are expected to remain mostly cloudy, with light showers in the morning and possible thunderstorms during the afternoon. The temperature may reach around 29°C during the day and drop to nearly 19°C by night.

During match hours, conditions are likely to stabilise with partly cloudy skies and only about a 10% chance of rain.

Match Details: Time and Broadcast

The RR vs MI match will begin at 7:30 PM IST. The game will be telecast on the Star Sports Network and live-streamed on JioHotstar.
