RR vs MI IPL 2021: Can defending champions stay alive in IPL Playoff Race or will it be another Royal display by Rajasthan? Follow RR vs MI LIVE Updates
Rajasthan Royals Playoff Scenario: Sanju Samson’s side breathe a sigh of relief as Yashashvi Jaiswal (19-ball fifty) and Shivam Dube (64*) guided Rajasthan Royals over the line after chasing a huge total of 190 runs against CSK, keeping their playoff hopes alive. Sitting sixth in the table, Rajasthan Royals share ten points each with KKR, MI, and PBKS. While they have a lower net run rate than KKR and PBKS, they do have a better run rate than the defending champions. With two games remaining against MI (Oct 5) and KKR (Oct 7), the best chance for the team in Pink is to win both their remaining games.
The equation for Rajasthan Royals –
- Beat Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders and they will qualify
- If they beat MI and lose to KKR, that would also lead to their exit
- If they lose to MI and beat KKR, then they would require SRH to beat MI and would also need to beat KKR by around 75 runs to get ahead of KKR’s current net run rate.
- Lose both the matches and they will be out of contention

Mumbai Indians Playoff scenario: The defending champions haven’t been at their best in the ongoing season, especially in the UAE leg. While they finished the first leg in the fourth position, Rohit Sharma’s side has managed just one win out of five games in the second leg. Mumbai Indians need to win both their remaining games against RR (Oct 5) and SRH (Oct 8) and also hope the other outcomes fall in their favor to advance into IPL 2021 playoffs.
The equation for Mumbai Indians –
- Win both their remaining games and hope RR beat KKR
- MI could get eliminated even after winning both last two matches, on net run-rate if KKR beat RR
- Need to win their remaining games by a combined aggregate of around 190 runs to go past KKR’s current NRR.
- Lose both their remaining game and they will be out of the tournament
