Overview
Mumbai Indians will be locking horns with the Gujarat Titans at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday, May 6.
The hosts are coming off six consecutive wins, with three coming while defending totals, and the remaining during pursuit of targets.

MI are also in contention for finishing in the top two and having a good chance of ending their five-year title drought.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is expected to be a batting-friendly surface, especially under lights. However, early in the innings, pacers can find some swing thanks to the sea breeze, and the new ball might provide a bit of seam movement. The batters need to be careful during the powerplay, but as the match progresses, they can trust the bounce and pace to play their shots. Notably, dew will kick in, making it tough for bowlers to grip the ball in the second innings. The team winning the toss will go with the trend of bowling first and chasing down the total.

MI vs GT Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter of the Match—Sai Sudharsan
GT opener Sai Sudharsan already has managed 504 runs in 10 innings this season. Being second on the top run-scorers list up until now, it may be expected for him to score big yet again. The southpaw has been in the form of his life, scoring runs at will. With the former champions requiring a win in this game, Sudharsan’s bat needs to do the talking once again.
Probable Best Bowler of the Match—Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah has taken 11 wickets in seven matches this season and might be expected to fire once again. Coming off a match-winning spell against the Rajasthan Royals, Bumrah will be running high on confidence. MI skipper Hardik Pandya will bank on his star bowler to tackle Gujarat’s solid batting line-up and provide crucial breakthroughs.
