GT vs MI, IPL 2023: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details

The defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) will square off against the five-time champion Mumbai Indians (MI) in Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is going to host this clash on Friday, May 26.

The Titans failed to qualify directly for the final of the tournament as they registered a disappointing 15-run loss against the Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1. Bowling first, Mohammed Shami and Mohit Sharma bowled economical spells and picked up two wickets apiece to restrict the Super Kings to 172/7 in 20 overs.

However, the batting unit of the Titans failed miserably as the team got bundled out for just 157 runs in 20 overs. Shubman Gill (42) and Rashid Khan (30) got starts but they failed to convert it into a big knock as the defending champions failed to secure a direct qualification to IPL 2023 final.

The Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, thrashed the Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator by 81 runs to earn themselves a place in Qualifier 2.

Batting first, useful contributions from Cameron Green (41) and Suryakumar Yadav (33) ensured that the team finished on a competitive total of 182/8 in 20 overs.

In response, Akash Madhwal single-handedly destroyed the batting unit of the Super Giants and picked up five wickets at an impressive economy rate of 1.4. Chris Jordan and Piyush Chawla picked up one wicket apiece as the Mumbai Indians progressed further in the tournament.
