Gujarat Titans seek winning streak and success at home

Mumbai's batting looks settled but they need their bowlers to step up

The defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) are all set to take on five-time winners Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 25 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Notably, the visiting team have lost three of their first six games and are currently seventh on the IPL 2023 Points Table, while the Hardik Pandya-led side started the season really well, with four wins out of six matches.


In their last match, the Titans pulled off a heist by defending just 135 runs against a quality batting lineup of Lucknow Super Giants. Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill are in terrific form with the bat, while Mohit Sharma has impressed one and all with the ball. Young Afghani spinner Noor Ahmad has also made a solid impact so far.

Mumbai, meanwhile, are struggling with the bat. However, flamboyant batter Suryakumar Yadav has returned to form and that will boost the confidence of the team ahead of their upcoming match. With the ball, Piyush Chawla has been terrific so far but overall as a team, the Rohit Sharma-led side needs significant improvement.

GT vs MI Pitch Report

The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is a balanced one. It is expected to favour the pacers initially, but as the game goes on, spinners are likely to come into the picture. Anything above 175 will be a good total on the surface.

GT vs MI Probable Playing XIs

Gujarat Titans (GT):

Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya (c), Vijay Shankar, Abhinav Manohar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Shami, Noor Ahmad, Mohit Sharma

Mumbai Indians (MI):

Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tim David, Cameron Green, Nehal Wadhera, Arjun Tendulkar, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendorff, Hrithik Shokeen

GT vs MI Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter

Suryakumar Yadav:

The 32-year-old Suryakumar Yadav has finally got his mojo back. He was terrific in Mumbai’s last IPL 2023 match against Punjab Kings and if he manages to play in a similar fashion, the fans are definitely up for a treat.

Probable Best Bowler

Mohit Sharma:

The veteran pacer was one of GT’s net bowlers in the last season. This year, he has become one of the players to watch out for from the team. The 34-year-old has been terrific with his line and length and is bowling at an economy of just 4.66. Thus, Mumbai batters may find it difficult to tackle Mohit in the middle.

Today's Match Prediction: Chasing team to win

GT vs MI Head to Head

With Gujarat Titans joining the IPL for the first time last season, this will be the second game between the sides. Mumbai Indians won by five runs last year!

GT vs MI Top Team Batsmen

For Gujarat Titans, Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha are our batting tips. Saha hit six fours in his 47 runs from 37 balls at the top of the order in the last game. Pandya has hit 16 half-centuries and 298 fours across his T20 career.

For Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav are our picks with the bat. Varma is the leading run scorer for the side in the 2023 IPL with 217 runs so far. Yadav has a top score of 57 so far in this year’s tournament.

GT vs MI Top Team Bowlers

With the ball, we are backing Rashid Khan, Mohammed Shami and Noor Ahmad for Gujarat Titans. 18 year old Ahmad came into the side and returned figures of 2-18 from four overs on Saturday. Shami has taken 109 IPL wickets and this will be his 100th IPL appearance.

For Mumbai Indians, Jofra Archer, Pyush Chawla and Jason Behrendorff are our bowling selections. Behrendorff has performed consistently, particularly with Archer out, and has taken at least one wicket in each of his last four appearances. Archer has a T20 career strike-rate of 17.5.

Thanks for the tag Wildy

I m rooting for MI to win😆

Modi Stadium has consistently provided an excellent surface for hitters. It is quite dry and solid and often crumbles as the game proceeds. Spinners have traditionally profited from it, and there is practically little grass cover on the pitch.

Toss Factor in GT vs MI match

Either team may benefit from batting early and setting a difficult target for the other.
