- 22:45 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: 3rd wicket for MadhwalThis has been a good performance from Akash Madhwal as he dismisses R Ashwin to claim his third wicket. A ray of hope in otherwise a tough game for Mumbai Indians as the bowler forced Ashwin in playing a careless shot and Tilak Varma completed the catch.
- 22:33 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: RR steadyThe partnership between Riyan Parag and Ravichandran Ashwin has been exactly what the doctor ordered for Rajasthan Royals. Good batting along with responsible strokeplay means that they have not taken many chances and now, it looks like they are going to bat Mumbai Indians out of this game.
- 22:22 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: Riyan Parag showA lot of experts wanted to see Riyan Parag in a situation where his team is chasing a target and this can be a perfect occasion for him to prove his mettle in a somewhat different situation. He has shown how good he can be while setting a target and today can be another Riyan Parag show.
- 22:05 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: RR lose second wicketAkash Madhwal strikes for Mumbai Indians and there is some hope for the hosts. Sanju Samson slashed the ball onto his own stumps and this can be a crucial wicket for MI. They need to keep taking wickets at regular intervals and that will decide whether they can make a comeback here.
- 21:56 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: Catch droppedNothing is going Hardik Pandya's way at the moment. A couple of boundaries for Sanju Samson and in the next over, Jos Buttler played a flighted shot but Hardik could not complete the catch. A good diving attempt but this is just going to add to their pressure.
- 21:48 (IST)
- 21:23 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: MI 125/9 in 20 oversA late effort from Akash Madhwal and Jasprit Bumrah means that Mumbai Indians were not all out and they ended at 125/9 in 20 overs. An incredible bowling show from Rajasthan Royals with special shows from Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult. Advantage RR at the moment!
- 21:08 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: Three wickets for ChahalThird wicket for Yuzvendra Chahal and Mumbai Indians are struggling so hard. Gerald Coetzee was baited into playing a risky shot and once again, Shimron Hetmyer was the one who completed the catch. Tim David is still out in the middle and all eyes are on him at the moment.
- 20:58 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: Onus on Tim DavidThe entire responsibility now lies on Tim David to provide a good finish to Mumbai Indians. The five-time champions have looked like a shadow of their past self and without a total above 150, it will be very difficult for them to register their first win of IPL 2024.
- 20:50 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: Tilak departsSecond wicket for Yuzvendra Chahal and it is the big one of Tilak Varma. He looked in good touch but another loose shot and Ravichandran Ashwin completed the catch this time. MI have lost seven wickets under 100 and this is just getting worse for the home team.
- 20:38 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: Six wickets downA tremendous catch from Shimron Hetmyer and Mumbai Indians lose their sixth wicket. Avesh Khan is the bowler to claim the wicket as the gamble to send Piyush Chawla ahead of Tim David did not work for the hosts. This is just horrible from Hardik Pandya and Co.
- 19:58 (IST)
- 19:26 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: Big match for RohitThis will be a huge game for Rohit Sharma as well. The veteran India batter had a couple of good starts in the tournament but with the team not winning a single game till now and playing their first game at home, the stage is set for the India skipper to play a big innings.
- 19:09 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: Mumbai crowd asked to behaveSanjay Manjrekar asked the Mumbai crowd to 'behave' as they were making a lot of sound during the toss.

- 19:06 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: Here's what Hardik Pandya said at the toss"We were planning to bowl first. It's quite exciting to be a part of this game. We always look forward to the future, need to follow the process. Looking forward to playing a brand of cricket everyone enjoys. Playing the same team."
- 18:53 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: Pitch report"It's pitch number 7. 63m and 65m square boundaries respectively, 74m down the ground. This surface wasn't used last year, the two tracks adjacent to it were used. If you bat first, you need to score big here. It's a red soil pitch, looks great and has a generous covering of grass. You are going to see a lot of runs. Spinners won't be effective," reckons Brian Lara.
- 18:49 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: Here's what Dhruv Jurel said before the match"Feeling good, did well in the Tests, the transition is different from red-ball to white-ball cricket, but that's what you expect as a professional. The confidence gained playing for India has helped me, I want to contribute and help my team win. We have played well in the 2 matches, someone or the other is contributing for the team, either with the ball or with the bat."
- 18:47 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: RR's strong batting line-upRajasthan Royals have started their IPL 2024 campaign with two back-to-back victories.

They will now to deliver a similar performance in today's clash.
- 18:34 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: MI seek improvementA big score is due from Rohit Sharma who has provided strong starts to Mumbai but what they truly need is Hardik Pandya to get his decisions right. Pandya has evidently not used Jasprit Bumrah to the best way possible and Mumbai Indians will have a chance to iron out such flaws. Bumrah and Piyush Chawla bring the element of experience to the table in the MI bowling attack which has shown trust on local boy Shams Mulani, who is relatively new at the IPL stage but immensely experienced when it comes to playing at the Wankhede Stadium.
- 18:33 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: MI to face the mighty RREven though Mumbai Indians enjoy a 4-1 head-to-head record in their last five meetings with Rajasthan Royals, the home side will have a tough task at hand given Sanju Samson’s team has turned up all guns blazing to begin their IPL season with two wins.
- 18:17 (IST)MI vs RR Live Score: MI eye first winFive-time champions Mumbai Indians are currently at the bottom of the points table with two defeats in as many matches. Under-pressure Hardik Pandya will be eager to clinch MI's first win of the season at their home ground against Rajasthan Royals.
