Analysis
Gujarat Titans' batting lineup struggled for fluency in their Qualifier 1 matchup against Chennai Super Kings at the Chepauk on a very tough pitch. But now that GT will play Qualifier 2 in the familiar surroundings of Ahmedabad, their batters, including the likes of Shubman Gill, captain Hardik Pandya, David Miller, and Vijay Shankar, will be looking to score big runs once again. In the bowling department, the Titans are quite reliant on their experienced pairing of Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan, who have been magnificent with the ball right throughout the IPL 2023.
Mumbai Indians' batting lineup has been on a roll in their last few matches of this year’s IPL, with players like Suryakumar Yadav, Cameron Green, and Nehal Wadhera in superb form. The captain of MI, Rohit Sharma hasn’t set the stage alight this season with the bat, but it might be his opportunity to shine in the crunch match. As far as the Mumbai bowling attack goes, they have found a gem in Akash Madhwal in the latter stages of this IPL season, while experienced bowlers like Piyush Chawla and Jason Behrendorff have been giving consistent performances with the ball.
