Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals will face off in match 14 of the 2024 IPL season on Monday, April 1 at the Wankhede Stadium. This is MI’s first home game and RR’s first away match of the season.
MI have had a poor start under new captain Hardik Pandya so far. Against Gujarat Titans, they failed to chase down 169 despite looking ahead of the game for 15 overs. It got worse in their next match, as they conceded an IPL-record 277 against Sunrisers Hyderabad but batted commendably to lose 31 runs.

RR have looked like one of the form teams in the first week of the tournament. They comfortably defeated Lucknow Super Giants in their opening match before dispatching Delhi Capitals with ease. The performances of Riyan Parag as well as new signings Avesh Khan and Nandre Burger have been the big positives so far.
