Pitch report - RR vs MI
The pitch is hard, dry, and even. Beautiful to bat on. However, due to lack of moisture, there’s less bounce in the wicket making players hesitant to hit every ball. Batters should avoid cross-batted shots here. You should see a score close to 200, reckon Natalie Germanos and Brian Lara.
Buttler on the impact player rule
Buttler and his team will be up against Jasprit Bumrah, who has been exceptional for Mumbai Indians this season, leading the IPL 2024 wicket-taking charts with 13 scalps.
