TOSS
Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma wins toss and elects to bat against Rajasthan Royals

Two wins in five matches isn't a bad start to the IPL for Rajasthan Royals as teams are trying out various combinations, but it looks better when your Sunday opponent, the Mumbai Indians (MI), only have one win from four games. But then, there is that often used term in this format - 'momentum' - which separates the two sides.
Rajasthan have lost their last two games convincingly, to Chennai Super Kings by 64 runs in Pune on Friday and by seven wickets in Jaipur two days before that. Mumbai, after a hat-trick of losses, were clinical in their last game at home as they bettered Royal Challengers Bangalore by 46 runs. That brings both teams to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium for a Sunday clash to close the weekend.
