The 50th match of IPL 2025 will feature the Rajasthan Royals facing off against the Mumbai Indians at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The tournament, which includes 74 matches spread across 13 cities, is in full swing and will continue over the next two months. The playoffs are scheduled as follows: Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will be held in Hyderabad on May 20 and 21, while Qualifier 2 and the grand final will take place in Kolkata on May 23 and 25, respectively.
Mumbai Indians currently sit second on the points table with six victories and four defeats in their ten matches. They’re riding high on momentum, having secured five consecutive wins, including a dominant 54-run triumph over Lucknow Super Giants in their most recent outing.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals have had a tough season, managing just three wins against seven losses. However, they come into this game with a boost of confidence after defeating Gujarat Titans, thanks to a spectacular century from 14-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi. With both teams bringing different forms into the match, an exciting and competitive contest is expected.
