Pitch Report

The Gujarat Titans played on a different pitch the last game, 475 runs were scored, it was a run-fest. The pitch tonight is definitely not like that. Different clay, the pitch they played on their first game, this one is going to be a little bit two-paced. It looks a little patchy, this one is going to be like a 180-par pitch. Going to be enough for the bowlers, change of pace, new ball might kiss off the surface, but it's not going to be as good batting conditions. Both teams like to win the toss and chase, just in case there's a little bit of dew. Got to play your best cricket tonight, report Nick Knight and Michael Clarke.

Commentary

That's all for this Saturday but there's a Super Sunday loading. A double-header at that with two alternate home venues in play as the Delhi Capitals host the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Vizag before we see a repeat of the very first final in Guwahati as the Rajasthan Royals host the Chennai Super Kings. Big games those - do join us for our coverage of the first of those commencing at 3.30 PM IST right here on Sportskeeda, with our build-up starting an hour in advance. For the moment, this is the duo of Rajarshi Das and Darpan Tikiya taking your leave. Sayonara! Good night!

A win that the Gujarat Titans can be very proud of as they get off the mark for IPL 2025. The pitch played into their hands and they made full use of it to keep the Mumbai Indians at bay and maintain their clean record against the five-time champions at this venue. An important win for the Titans as they now head to Bengaluru to face a red-hot RCB side. As for MI, they've lost two on the road and they'll hope familiarity brings about a change in fortunes as they head home to face the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Prasidh Krishna gets his first POTM award in the IPL. Here is what he has to say, "No words. I haven't really waited so many overs before getting a chance to bowl in a T20 game. But it worked out well. We were watching during the first innings that the cutters were holding up in the wicket. We figured that was working. So I stuck to it. I was not concerned about the speed gun at all."

Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans captain): "The decision to play on the black soil was taken before the first match. This kind of wicket suits our batting and bowling a bit better. Once the ball gets old, it is tough to score a boundary. Hence, the idea was to go hard in the powerplay. We can talk about plans, but certain things go your way, certain things don't go your way. In the end, if you win, it is all good. I actually held Rashid Khan for the end. But the way the fast bowlers bowled! Prasidh bowled beautifully. So,I thought, why not let him bowl all his overs. The par scores in Hyderabad and Bengaluru (the venues for their next two games) have been high. But we will be prepared for it."

Prasidh Krishna is rewarded for sending down the most dot balls!

Jos Buttler takes the award for scoring the most fours in the match!

Suryakumar Yadav is back, this time to collect the award for the most sixes!

Sai Sudharsan wins the award for claiming the most fantasy points!

Suryakumar Yadav wins the award for the highest strike-rate in the match!

Time for the presentation!

11:48 PM IST | The post-match presentation will follow shortly. We will bring you the quotes from the winning captain and the Player of the Match. Till then, feel free to scroll below Hardik Pandya's quote and read the summary of the match.

Sai Kishore (Gujarat Titans): "He's a very good friend of mine (Hardik), inside the field it should be like that. Anybody's an opponent, we don't take things personally. We're both competitors, that's how the game should be. I felt I wasn't getting as much purchase. Had to bowl for the game, had to bowl as per the situation. Mixed it a bit here and there, but the pitch played better than it looked. He (Suryakumar) played really well, he hit some of my length balls. Got to give it to the batsman when they hit a good shot off a good ball. Shubman was also there to tell me about Surya, I tried to go with my instincts and help the team. I'm actually looking forward to the season, all this while I've been watching a lot of games, learning a lot. I've been honest with myself and worked really hard. Let's hope this is a wonderful season."

Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians captain): "In batting and bowling, we were short in 15-20 places. We weren't quite professional on the field, made some basic errors and at the same time failed to execute and that cost us. They batted brilliantly, don't see much that we bowled well. The way they batted was exceptional. They took chances and hit boundaries. They managed to get runs in the powerplay without playing high-risk shots. That made us go on the back foot, from that time we were doing catch-up. There should not be a concern, it is time we take responsibility. It's still early, but batters have to come to the party. Maybe I bowled way too many balls, they were able to see it and use it to good effect. Those are the toughest balls, some were gripping, some staying down and some were shooting. As a batter it becomes difficult."

11:35 PM IST | Gujarat Titans win by 36 runs.

Sai Sudharshan 63 (41) | Hardik Pandya 2/28 (4)
Suryakumar Yadav 48 (28) | Prasidh Krishna 2/18 (4)

They say two things in life are certain — "death and taxes". Might as well add "Gujarat Titans mauling Mumbai Indians at their home ground" to it. The two sides have faced off four times here now. Each time the result has gone in the favor of the former.

Given that 475 runs were scored at this venue four nights ago, the fans of Mumbai Indians would have fancied their team's chances of gunning down the target of 197. However, that innings moved along like a rusty old bicycle on a muddy road, failing to garner any sort of momentum. In the end, they fall well short of the finish line.

It was Mohammad Siraj's fiery spell up top that set the tone for the hosts. The pacer bowled a couple of snorters to send both the openers back in the hut. The powerplay was definitely won by Gujarat Titans. And while behind, Mumbai Indians were not quite out of the contest just yet. Particularly when N. Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav were out in the middle together. However, they appeared to lose steam in the middle overs. Suddenly, the bold strokes which were fetching them boundaries up top, started to look like overzealous wafts that yielded paltry returns.
Perhaps, the wicket slowed up. Still, not much can be taken away from the GT bowlers, who bowled in the right areas and made run-scoring tough. Prasidh Krishna delivered an excellent spell of four successive overs in which he gave away only 18 runs and accounted for the dismissal of both aforementioned batters.. Hardik Pandya played a scratchy knock of 11 (17). There were a few lusty blows from Naman Dhir and Mitchell Santner, but they only helped reduce the deficit.

Earlier, Gujarat Titans went through their batting innings like a race car driver who accelerated through every lap. But every time they were about to hit the top gear, they met a sharp bend and were forced to decelerate. Their linchpins Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler both got robust starts, looked elegant in their shot making and put up a show for the fans of batting. The only problem was that both exhibitions were short-lived. Both fell after getting 30+ and failed to convert it into a score of substance. And that was the pattern that repeated itself through the innings. GT could never really hit mode turbo but in the end were able to score 196, which proved to be more than enough. The star act was Sai Sudharshan, who scored half-century he can be proud of. But once again, just when it was time go slam-bang, he fell prey to a searing Trent Boult yorker on the last ball of the 18th over. Though, GT fans will say, "all's well that ends well".

19.6 Mohammed Siraj to Mitchell Santner, SIRAJ FINISHES WITH A WICKET! Or does he? He landed this hard length delivery somewhere around the line of leg stump. Santner looked to swing across its line, missed and was pinged on the pad.

Nothing on Ultra-Edge as the ball passed the bat. Ah, the ball pitched well outside the line of leg stump as per Ball-Tracking. Santner finishes with a red-inker, but the Gujarat Titans claim a convincing 36-run win at Motera!

19.5 Mohammed Siraj to Mitchell Santner, full, down the leg side. Santner moved across his stumps looking to glance it away. Umpire doesn't signal a wide, so he sends it upstairs... fair delivery it stays

19.4 Mohammed Siraj to Mitchell Santner, GOOD STRIKE! On a back of length around off, Santner cleared his front leg, lined this up and clubbed this over the advertisement hoarding at long on

19.3 Mohammed Siraj to Naman Dhir, short, wide of off. Dhir, down the wicket, has to flat-bat it tennis-style. Gets it to the right of long on for a run

Prashant: "This has been a worse performance from MI once again. Neither bowling nor batting is good enough. I don't see the "team-spirit" or "team-bonding" in them while in the ground. Looks like MI is finished !"
Well, they have always been slow starter, isn't it Prashant?
