2. Team Previews:
Head-to-Head Record: 1 Match, GT: 0 Win and MI: 1Wins
Gujarat Titans: They might be on the 4th Position right now (thanks to their 2 losses), winning this match would comfortably take them to the Top 2. Its worth mentioning that both their losses came while defending and exactly by 3 wickets but whats more important is the fact that both of those games reached the final over. They arent a team that lets their oppositions take away the match easily from them and this competitiveness will make things difficult for the visitors.
Mumbai Indians: Jofra Archer's return has strengthened their bowling but the forms of their top guns like Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav still remains a problem of them. They have all performed in bits and pieces but none of them have been consistent so far. They would need a collective efforts from their Batting Department, if they are to beat a strong Gujarat Titans.
