Mumbai Indians hope to replicate earlier heroics against rampaging Gujarat Titans

Mumbai Indians will be taking the yard again hoping to continue their dream run against the might of Gujarat Titans in Match 57 of IPL 2023. Gujarat Titans have secured eight wins from the 11 games that they have played at a net run rate of +0.951 while Mumbai Indians have secured six wins from five games at a net run rate of -0.255.

Mumbai Indians will be coming into this contest on the back of a fine win against the Royal Challengers Bangalore as Suryakumar Yadav led the charge while Nehal Wadhera played the perfect anchor at the other end. Jason Behrendorff was instrumental with the ball as he bagged figures of 3/36.

Gujarat Titans savoured a monumental win against Lucknow Super Giants in a high-scoring encounter with the reigning champions piling up 227. Shubman Gill (94*) was phenomenal with the bat while Wriddhiman Saha smashed 81 off 43. Mohit Sharma’s incisive 4/29 rattled the spine of the Lucknow chase, helping the Titans set one foot into the playoffs. 

A win for the Titans will guarantee them a spot in the top four, and their current form will see them start this game as favourites to pick up a victory. However, one would be unwise to write off Rohit Sharma’s men, with them playing at home and proving to be quite impactful in home conditions this season.
