Mumbai Indians host Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium on 24 May 2026 with the Royals needing a win to seal a playoff berth. Yashasvi Jaiswal has already passed 500 runs this season at a strike rate near 170 and is named captain; Hardik Pandya, with 170-plus runs and important wickets and reported fully fit, is the vice-captain.

The pitch note describes Wankhede as batter-friendly with a quick outfield and shorter boundaries, with early swing from the coastal sea breeze before the surface settles into a run-fest. The Dream11 squad lists Rickelton and Jurel as keepers, Tilak Varma, Sooryavanshi, Jaiswal and Rohit as batters, Bosch and Ferreira as all-rounders, and Archer, Ghazanfar and Bumrah as bowlers.

West Delhi Lions open their Delhi Premier League 2026 campaign against New Delhi Tigers in the competition's third T20 on Saturday, 1 August 2026, at Arun Jaitley Stadium, with a 7:00 PM IST start and live streaming listed on FanCode.

On the weekend of 27–28 June, India's men were swept 2-0 in Belfast by Ireland and the women were knocked out of the T20 World Cup at the group stage by Australia at Lord's. A month later, here is what the fantasy column should still be reading from those two results.

Three durable reads from that weekend: bilateral T20I series-loss compression is real; women's T20 World Cup fantasy is now a real planning surface; and the joint-week framing itself — the Belfast and Lord's results priced together, not separately — is the honest read on what the fantasy column looks like at the start of the next month.

Maharashtra signed an MoU with the Kolhapur District Cricket Association for a 35,000-seat arena in Karveer taluka. Construction will follow BCCI and ICC norms.
