We have barely about 5-5 games before the end of the group stage of IPL 2021 in the UAE and here, we’ve got a game in Sharjah where two teams participating are in the doldrums, almost virtually eliminated from IPL 2021 so far. We’re talking about Match 51 of IPL 2021 where Rajasthan Royals is in action, currently sixth in the IPL 2021 points table with 5 wins in 12 games and an outside chance of still making the IPL 2021 playoffs.

They’re up against another team who has 5 wins in 12 games but seventh on the points table with a slightly lower net run rate to their name. We’re talking about Mumbai Indians who haven’t had such a poor season in many years and they’ll be wanting to give it all they have as they go into their final two games of the season.

RR vs MI Fantasy Cricket Tips

Rajasthan Royals

In the powerplay, Evin Lewis has been brilliant this season but we’ve been more impressed with Yashasvi Jaiswal. The openers have been great in recent games and particularly in the last one, Jaiswal showed all his shots to bring up a record fifty and both should make your RR vs MI fantasy team. Shivam Dube was given his first chance of IPL 2021 and it turned out to be a match-winning knock by him, while he can contribute with the ball as well.

Having scored 14* in his IPL 2021 debut, not many known about Glenn Phillips but he’s a big smasher of the ball who was brought into the team for Jos Buttler. The best part is that he scored 80* in his last game in CPL 2021 and has started bowling as well recently. Not many will be picking South African all-rounder Chris Morris but we will if he makes the RR vs MI playing eleven again. If not, Chetan Sakariya is your best bet with the ball on this slow Sharjah surface.

Mumbai Indians

Talking about the slow nature of the pitch, we don’t think Boult or Bumrah will get much success here but it may be time for Rahul Chahar to stamp his authority on this UAE leg of IPL 2021. Along with him, pick Jayant Yadav the off-spinner in your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) RR vs MI fantasy team since there are plenty of left-handers in the Rajasthan Royals squad and we think Jayant may even be used in the powerplay overs.

We’ve seen middle-order batsman Kieron Pollard bowling way more often in IPL 2021 especially since Hardik Pandya isn’t bowling and that’s why we’re picking him in our RR vs MI Dream11 team, especially since the top order has been collapsing far too often. Among the pacers, you might want to give a go with Nathan Coulter-Nile because he’s got the most variations which may do well on a pitch like Sharjah.
