Match 13 of the 2026 IPL will see Rajasthan Royals host Mumbai Indians at Guwahati’s ACA Barsapara Stadium on April 7, as both sides gear up for an intense contest.

Rajasthan Royals have been in scintillating form, securing back-to-back wins to kick off their IPL 2026 campaign on a high. Led by the dynamic Riyan Parag, the Royals first overcame Chennai Super Kings before thumping Gujarat Titans in a nail-biting last-ball finish. RR will aim to keep the momentum going with a third straight win.

Mumbai Indians kicked off IPL 2026 with a win, breaking a long-standing trend in a season opener since 2012. But they faltered in their next outing, going down narrowly to Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium. All eyes will be on Hardik Pandya, who was ruled out of the previous contest because he was not well.
