Rajasthan Royals host Mumbai Indians in the 13th match of IPL 2026 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on April 7, 2026. MI lead the all-time head-to-head 15-11 across 26 IPL meetings.

Both teams enter on contrasting form. RR sit top of the IPL 2026 table with two wins from two, beating CSK by 8 wickets and then edging GT by 6 runs in a thriller. Meanwhile, MI won their opener against KKR but lost to DC by 6 wickets, with Sameer Rizvi’s 90 off 51 sealing the chase.

With Hardik Pandya set to return after missing the DC clash due to illness, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s sensational start to IPL 2026 (including the third-fastest fifty in IPL history), this blockbuster promises to be an absolute cracker.
