Key Players:
Analysis: Rajasthan skipper Sanju Samson will be of utmost importance for the side, and should be a must-have in one’s fantasy team. Given that Samson is also the wicketkeeper for the franchise, it increases the chances of more fantasy points, making him an excellent captain choice. Besides, Rajasthan’s top-order batters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Evin Lewis are bankable options alongside all-rounder Shivam Dube who smashed a striking fifty in their last game. Lastly, Mustafizur Rahman and Chetan Sakariya can fetch some points from the bowling end.
Mumbai will aim to make the most of their remaining games to qualify for the playoffs this season. Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma are good batting choices and smart options for vice-captain. Additionally, Surykumar Yadav can also be picked in one’s team given his recent form. Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult’s contributions from the bowling end will be beneficial for the Rohit Sharma-led side and add some fantasy points.

Dafabet Prediction of the Game:
Head to Head- Out of the 25 overall matches played between these two teams, Mumbai have won 13, while their opponents, Rajasthan, have won 12 times. With such a close head-to-head tally, the current form of the team and the players acts as the deciding factor
Performance in ongoing UAE leg- The Sanju Samson-led side are the underdogs of the ongoing edition of Indian T20 League, making a striking comeback from their dull form in the first leg of the tournament. Rajasthan registered a spectacular win over current table-toppers Chennai, and are in a great form heading to their next game.
Considering the above factors Rajasthan have a slightly better chance of winning the game on Tuesday.
