The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians will be an 11-overs-per-side game due to heavy rain delays. The toss is set for 9:55 pm after over two hours of rain interruption. The powerplay will consist of 3.2 overs, with one bowler allowed to bowl three overs.
The match, scheduled at the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) Stadium in Barsapara, Guwahati, faced delays as rain poured from early afternoon. The rain ceased around 9.20 pm, allowing players and officials to inspect the conditions. Despite a slight increase in drizzle intensity before the original match start time at 7.30 pm, ground staff worked diligently to prepare the field.
Match officials will decide the toss timing, ensuring no overs are lost if the game begins before 8.30 pm. Rajasthan Royals, playing their second ‘home’ game at ACA Stadium, aim to continue their unbeaten streak with a third victory. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians seek a win after a loss to Delhi Capitals following their victory against Kolkata Knight Riders.
The upcoming clash between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians is highly anticipated as it features top Indian pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah against the promising 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from Bihar. Sooryavanshi has impressed with his aggressive batting, hitting 30 sixes in the IPL, with 20 against pace bowlers.
