GT vs MI, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 51

Hardik Pandya will be up against his former franchise when the Gujarat Titans (GT) take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 51 of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. When the edition kicked off, very few could have predicted that after 50 games, Gujarat would be at the top of the points table and Mumbai at the bottom.

GT have been amazing in their debut IPL season, having won eight of their 10 matches. However, some of their flaws were exposed in their last match as the Punjab Kings (PBKS) hammered them by eight wickets. Batting first after winning the toss, they were held to 143 for 8 as barring Sai Sudharsan (65*), the others failed to perform. It was the kind of day that critics had predicted looking at the Gujarat line-up.

After eight straight losses, MI finally registered a win in IPL 2022, defeating the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by five wickets. Both their batting and bowling came to the party, albeit a bit too late. They will be keen to battle for pride against GT.
