The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians. Hardik Pandya is back in action after missing the first match due to a ban. This highly anticipated match will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Both teams are looking to bounce back from their opening-match losses. Mumbai fell to Chennai at the Chepauk Stadium, while Gujarat suffered a defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings on their home turf. Today’s match is a must-win for both teams, and one of them will finally open their account.
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is expected to favor the batsmen. In the first match of the season, Punjab Kings posted an impressive 243 runs, and Gujarat narrowly lost by just 11 runs. We can expect another high-scoring match between Gujarat and Mumbai, with plenty of fours and sixes.
Our match prediction meter suggests that Mumbai Indians have a slight edge over Gujarat Titans. Although Gujarat leads the head-to-head record 3-2, Mumbai’s team looks more packed this season. The team chasing the target has a higher chance of winning.
