Both teams are expected to make several adjustments to their lineups, but Bumrahs absence stands out as a significant factor, given his pivotal role in the squad throughout the season. The match will be an important opportunity for the Royals to solidify their standing, while the Mumbai Indians may use this time to assess their squad and strategize for upcoming seasons.
