In Qualifier 1, Gujarat Titans were defeated by Chennai Super Kings. In the Eliminator on Wednesday against the Lucknow Super Giants, the five-time champion Mumbai Indians prevailed. To secure a spot in the championship game against four-time winner CSK, the reigning champs will square off against the Rohit Sharma-led team. Before the match between GT and MI, read the following information.
The Gujarat Titans enter this match after losing to the MS Dhoni-led team. Due to their inability to generate momentum against the spin pair Ravindra Jadeja and Maheesh Theekshana, GT was unable to catch CSK’s 172. The Hardik Pandya-led team won’t be very demoralised by the defeat to Chennai in Chennai. For Qualifier 2, GT plays on their home pitch in Ahmedabad.
On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians are having a tremendous run right now, winning 4 of their last 5 games. Surya Kumar Yadav’s hundred helped them defeat the Gujarat Titans in their most recent match in Mumbai. MI would be pleased with how their squad played against the Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator. They might use the same lineup when they play the Gujarat Titans.
