Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Prediction for the | Odds2win

MI has a strong and powerful middle order with Pollard, David and Sams in the lineup. Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya battle for runs, putting pressure on the Gujarat Titans' short batting lineup. MI has nothing to lose and will play with freedom, knowing that a win will destroy any mathematical hope of making the playoffs.

Gujarat Titans

The Gujarat Titans suffered only their second loss in the previous game against PBKS when captain Hardik Pandya made the somewhat odd decision to bat first after winning the draw. Once again GT struggled with his batting as Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya failed to get going.

These two are the mainstays of the GT batting lineup and if both lose form at the same time, alarm bells should be ringing. Wriddhiman Saha got the side off to a flying start but he's not someone you'd expect to score the big goals. He tends to throw down his wicket after sitting down.

It was David Miller, with the support of Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan, who saved the team game after game. When these players failed, it was only Sai Sudharshan who managed to bring the team to some sort of decent overall score.

In the end, however, GT was missing at least 30 runs. Although GT wins most of its matches, we're a little unsure about their hitting performance and think another such hitting performance could be in the pipeline. Perhaps they could drop Alzarri Joseph and bring in another batsman to help balance the team, but that will put pressure on Pandya to roll.

Lockie Ferguson, Rashid Khan and Mohammad Shami are suspended in the bowling lineup. However, we think Pradeep Sangwan and Alzarri Joseph are struggling to lose their spot fairly quickly.

GT won five games in the last over, including two with the very last ball. It just takes a bit of luck to change and we could see GT pick up a few losses at the trot.

Mumbai Indians

MI ended up playing what appeared to be their strongest cast. They brought Tim David back into the team and he made a crucial 20 of 9 deliveries to end the game. With Kieron Pollard, Tim David and Daniel Sams in the lineup, MI now has a batting lineup that's packed with power from top to bottom.

Of course, we haven't seen the best of Rohit Sharma or Ishan Kishan up front, but they will have freedom to play their shots. Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma in the middle currently form the backbone of this MI lineup. We would choose between one of these two to be the best hitter for MI in this match.

MI's bowling seemed particularly vulnerable this series and we still believe that issue hasn't been fully resolved. His two favorite spinners, Hrithik Shokeen and Kumar Kartikeya are strictly average. They might have problems if one of Hardik Pandya or David Miller or even Rahul Tewatia sticks into them.

The duty of picking up wickets must fall on the fast bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah, Rilee Meredith and Daniel Sams are all international players with a lot of experience. Bumrah was thrifty but the wickets didn't come and so MI struggled in that regard too.

Luckily for MI, it encounters a batting lineup that has its own struggles in terms of form and depth. We've seen improved performance from MI bowlers. More today ipl match betting can be obtained from the link provided.
