With all the league stage done and dusted, now it is time for the mega showdowns as Gujarat Titan prepare to face Mumbai Indians in the qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium on May 26, 2023, Friday. Gujarat Titans ended their group league matches in a positive way with a win in their last game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, in the crucial qualifier 1 game, the Hardik Pandya-led side faced defeat. The match between CSK and GT saw Chennai on the back of a brilliant fifty from Ruturaj Gaikwad posting a challenging total of 172. Gujarat bowlers did well to prevent Chennai from reaching a huge total. IPL 2023: ‘Everything Started When I Played That Shot’, LSG Captain Krunal Pandya Blames Himself for Defeat Against Mumbai Indians in Eliminator.

But when it came down to chasing 173, the batters failed to come good with the bat. For Gujarat, only Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan provided useful contributions with the bat. If Gujarat want to lift the trophy for the second time in a row their batters need to fire off. Gujarat in their next game will try to make a comeback as they look to enter the finals for the second successive time.

Mumbai Indians on the other hand are coming into the next match on the back of a wonderful win against the Lucknow Super Giants. The match between Lucknow and Mumbai saw Mumbai batting first and posting a challenging total of 182 on account of some useful contributions with the bat from Cameron Green (41) and Suryakumar Yadav (33). With 183 runs to defend, Mumbai’s uncapped player Akash Madhwal claimed a match-changing five-wicket haul that ended Lucknow’s innings. With this win, Mumbai ended Lucknow’s winning streak against them. Mumbai in their next game will try to carry on their winning form as they look to enter the finals of the IPL 2023.
