Welcome to ABP Live’s live coverage of Match 14 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, pitting Mumbai Indians (MI) against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both the teams have had a contrasting show so far in the tournament. RR have clinched victories in both their IPL 2024 matches, securing the third position on the points table. Meanwhile, MI have suffered defeats in both encounters, languishing at the bottom of the table.

While RR have secured victories in both of their matches, defeating the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC), the five-time champions, MI, have encountered difficulties this season. MI suffered a narrow loss in their opening game against the Gujarat Titans by six runs. In their subsequent match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), MI conceded an IPL-record 277 runs in 20 overs and suffered a 31-run defeat, adding to their woes. However, the recent head-to-head record favors MI, especially at the Wankhede Stadium, suggesting they are the favorites in this encounter.

In their past five encounters, MI have dominated RR in the head-to-head battle:

2023: MI secured a comfortable victory by 6 wickets.
2022: MI emerged victorious with a 5-wicket win.
2022: RR managed to break MI’s winning streak with a 23-run triumph.
2021: MI continued their dominance with an 8-wicket win.
2021: MI again emerged victorious with a 7-wicket win.
This record suggests MI’s historical superiority over RR in recent matchups.
