Tuesday brings us a crucial top-half clash in the Indian Premier League, with the Mumbai Indians playing host to the Gujarat Titans at the Wankhede Stadium. MI and GT are level on 14 points each and are second and third in the league standings, respectively. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After a dismal start to the season, the Mumbai Indians have surged to the upper echelons of the league standings with six wins in a row, and one more will likely be enough to secure their place in the playoffs.
Mumbai enter this match off the back of a commanding 100-run victory over Rajasthan, with Ryan Rickelton scoring a stunning 61 runs in just 38 balls, while Trent Boult bagged 3/21 with the ball.
Boult is now up to fourth place in the leading wicket-taker list with 16 scalps to his name, while Suryakumar Yadav is third in the orange cap standings on 475 runs in 11 innings.
Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans are also in a strong position to reach the playoffs, having notched up seven wins so far, while still having a game in hand on the sides above them.
GT bounced back from a loss to the Royals with a solid 38-run victory over SRH on Friday, when Shubman Gill delivered another blinding innings of 76 runs in just 38 deliveries.
In six previous meetings between these sides, GT have won four games, including a 36-run victory earlier this season.
