We now move to the 35th game of this IPL. It’s the last year’s champions who’ll take on the five time champions. As a result, this game is expected to go right down to the wire. Also, Gujarat will look to beat Mumbai this time around and take revenge for last year. Also, Mumbai will look to get back on their winning streak.
MATCH PREVIEW
On Tuesday, the IPL will see an exciting match between two accomplished captains – Rohit Sharma as well as Hardik Pandya, both of whom enjoyed success in their debut seasons. Mumbai Indians, who have accumulated six points, occupy the seventh spot in the standings, while Gujarat Titans stand at the fourth place with eight points.
Mumbai is a batting-heavy team with a top-six striking rate of more than 140. Titans, on the other hand, have a strong bowling department led by Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan. So, Titans, who have lost two of their three games at home, have struggled to score freely in the middle overs with a rate of 7.37 runs per over. Mumbai will look to exploit this area, especially as Titans have fared poorly at home.
