Scorecard
| Team | Score | Overs | Result |

| Rajasthan Royals | 150/3 | 11 overs | Won |
| Mumbai Indians | 123/9 | 11 overs | Lost by 27 runs |
MI Crisis Deepens
Mumbai Indians are now 0-3 and in deep trouble. Hardik Pandya's situation remains unresolved, and the team looks rudderless. Suryakumar Yadav captained but couldn't turn things around. MI need to win 7 of their remaining 11 matches to have any playoff hope.
What This Means
RR are the team to beat alongside RCB. With Yashasvi Jaiswal in explosive form and Jofra Archer bowling fire, Rajasthan look like genuine title contenders. MI, meanwhile, face a must-win against RCB on April 10.
