🏏Daily Updates for the ongoing IPL Matches-- M--74, CSK vs GT: Final - Page 7

A few details for today's match, especially for the members who stay in different time zones ❤️

Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians, Qualifier 2

Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad

Date & Time: May 26, 07:30 PM LOCAL

In the land of traders, Ahmedabad, it's Hardik Pandya who holds the trade secrets of his opposite number.

A product of the Mumbai Indians, Hardik has carved his own legacy as a successful leader with Gujarat Titans, and taken them to back-to-back playoffs in two seasons. But is that enough to halt a rampaging Mumbai Indians, a team that has given no due to its own pain and losses, en route yet another dash towards the IPL final?

What to expect: The temperature is likely to hover around the 40-degree mark. On what's expected to be a fast track with ample run-scoring opportunities, both teams would look to chase, especially given their high-success rate while batting second. Dew, however, is not expected to play a big part.

Head to head: Gujarat Titans 1 - 2 Mumbai Indians.

Team Watch:

Gujarat Titans:

Tactics & Matchups: Mohammed Shami will hold the key in the Powerplay. Mumbai Indians openers - Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan - have struggled to score freely against the seamer, scoring at a strike rate of 118.52 and 105.56, respectively, in the IPL.

Probable XII: Wriddhiman Saha, Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Dasun Shanaka, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Yash Dayal, Alzarri Joseph/Noor Ahmed/Josh Little, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma

Mumbai Indians:

Tactics & Matchups: Suryakumar Yadav will hold the key in the middle order. He is one of the rare batters in the IPL to have not been dismissed by Rashid Khan, who has otherwise done exceedingly well against MI. The two have had a 47-ball face-off, with Surya scoring 67 runs against the leggie. On the contrary, GT's middle order batters have struggled against left-arm orthodox spin, with Hardik, Shankar, Miller and Tewatia scoring at a strike rate of less than 120.

Probable XII: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Nehal Wadhera, Tim David, Chris Jordan, Piyush Chawla, Akash Madhwal, Kumar Kartikeya, Jason Behrendorff
