Mumbai continued their impressive form in chases in their previous game, gunning down a target of 200 in 16.3 overs against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Suryakumar Yadav (83 off 35) played a superb innings, while Ishan Kishan (42 off 21) and Nehal Wadhera (52* off 34) chipped in with crucial contributions.

Today's MI vs GT pitch report

According to Manjrekar and Aaron Finch, the red soil pitch looks similar to the one for the game against RCB. There’s a little bit of moisture on top of the surface, which means there could be a bit of swing, especially in the first 3-4 overs. There could also be a hint of turn if the captain is brave enough to go for spin in the powerplay. This is a beautiful wicket and no score seems safe at this venue.
