The Mumbai Indians won the toss at 7:45 PM and have decided to bowl and chase Gujarat Titans. Shubham Gill will be looking to set an unbeatable score for MI, while Gujarat will be attempting to defend their IPL title. On Sunday, the winner will face CSK. Mumbai Indians would like to extend their lead of having the most IPL trophies and for that they will have to beat GT and CSK. Wriddhiman Saha and former KKR player Shubham Gill will bat first for MI vs GT in IPL Qualifier 2.
Gujarat Titans are playing cautiously in the first three overs of the encounter due to the damp ground, which could pose a threat to the batsmen. However, if the ball makes a good connection with the bat, the batters have a better chance of scoring because the ball may slide faster and harder after striking the bat.
