Match Preview
The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League is already on fire with back-to-back nail-biting thrillers. The tournament has already reached its fifth match, and 2022 champions Gujarat Titans are ready to take on five-time winners Mumbai Indians in one of the highly-anticipated games of the season. In the first match of Sunday’s double-header clashes, we saw Rajasthan Royals taking on Lucknow Super Giants at home in Jaipur. Coming back to the upcoming match, both teams are quite strong and they finished in the top four in the standings.
Toss Prediction
Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians haven’t played much cricket together and came across each other on four occasions in the IPL. In the four encounters, their respective teams have had even records in terms of tosses and wins. MI’s former captain Rohit Sharma won the toss twice, and GT’s former skipper came on top twice. Interestingly, both sides saw a major captain-swapping drama earlier, and they will play under new captains in the forthcoming season.
Talking about the toss, we think luck would favour Shubman Gill and he would win his first toss as the captain of Gujarat Titans on March 24.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, GT and MI have faced each other in four matches in the Indian Premier League, where both emerged victorious evenly, by winning two games each. Titans and Indians were among the top four performers last year, and while the former made it to their consecutive finale, Indians finished fourth under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
As we talked about it, the two sides underwent captaincy change before the onset of the tournament and are ready to be led by new skippers. Mumbai will be led by former GT captain Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill will be at Gujarat’s helm. Talking about their respective squads, Mumbai saw the return of Jasprit Bumrah and the addition of an experienced captain.
There is no denying that GT have some great hitters including David Miller and Rashid Khan. However, MI is a batting powerhouse with names like Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Tim David and more. Needless to say, the upcoming game will be a close encounter, but a more experienced team, Mumbai is likely to come on top.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Narendra Modi Stadium of Ahmedabad will witness the Titans locking horns with the Indians. In the previous seasons of the tournament, the venue hosted a total of 27 games and had the first innings score of 172. For the upcoming match, we can expect the first-inning score to be around 170-180 and the powerplay to be around 45-50.
