Upcoming Clash: RR vs MI in IPL 2026

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) are gearing up to compete against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 13th match of IPL 2026, scheduled for April 6 (Monday) at the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) Stadium in Guwahati. This match follows the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) versus Punjab Kings (PBKS) game, which was the first of the season to be canceled due to rain in Kolkata. Unfortunately, there is a significant risk of rain affecting the game in Guwahati for the second day in a row.

According to forecasts from Accuweather.com, Guwahati is expected to experience a 75% chance of rain throughout the day, with a 45% likelihood of thunderstorms. As the match approaches, the probability of rain decreases to 70% during the night, with predictions indicating a two-hour rain period. Consequently, interruptions due to rain are likely during the RR vs MI match, potentially resulting in another washout.

RR and MI: A Tale of Two Teams

Both teams enter this match with differing circumstances. The Royals have enjoyed a strong start, winning their first two matches, while the Indians are looking to bounce back from a recent defeat. RR kicked off their IPL 2026 campaign with an impressive 8-wicket victory over the Chennai Super Kings. They followed this with a nail-biting win against the Gujarat Titans (GT) by just 6 runs. A win against MI would mark their third consecutive victory, propelling them to the top of the standings.

On the other hand, MI began their season with a solid 6-wicket win against KKR but faltered in their second match, suffering a 6-wicket loss to the Delhi Capitals. With just three days since that setback, MI is eager to regain their winning form.
