The stage is set for match number 13 of the IPL 2026 as the high-flying Rajasthan Royals will take on the Mumbai Indians at the Barsapara Stadium, Guwahati. RR’s new home, Guwahati, promises a thriller as two batting-heavy sides will go toe-to-toe with each other.

Rajasthan came into the IPL 2026 with a new-look squad and a new captain after the departure of Sanju Samson, but two matches in, and they are still unbeaten. Riyan Parag, the Rajasthan Royals skipper, has instilled a new confidence in the side and they will start as favourites against the Mumbai Indians.

RR’s batters have found the rhythm right from game one as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryanavshi have run riot. Their bowlers have been impeccable, and it was evident during the CSK clash as the Yellow Army struggled against them.

The two sides have a close head-to-head record, with MI winning 16 out of 31 matches played. Ahead of this blockbuster IPL match, we take a look at the RR Vs MI pitch report for the Barsapara Stadium, and Guwahati’s weather report.

This will be the second home game for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026, and the first match at this venue in 2026 was played between RR and CSK, which was dominated by the pacers. 

Normally, one associates the Guwahati Stadium with spin-friendly conditions, and the previous seasons’ results state that; however, for IPL 2026, the trend has changed.

RR’s strength this season has been their top order and an outstanding pace attack led by Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger. Their home stadium, Guwahati, also resembles that as the surface will once again offer help to the pace bowlers, especially in a night game.

Just like the RR Vs CSK contest, the RR Vs MI IPL battle will also witness early movement on offer, with the pacers getting lateral movement. Both teams have plenty of quality fast bowlers, and they’ll certainly relish bowling at this venue.

The batters need to grind out for the first 6 overs, and once the seam movement stops, they can look to take down the bowlers. The average score at this venue is 142, and expect a similar trend to be followed on Tuesday in the RR Vs MI IPL match at the Guwahati Stadium.
