Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Predictions

Defending champions the Titans topped the IPL table last season, winning 10 of their 14 games, but losing in the final. Mumbai Indians won the title five times in eight years ending in 2020, but have not made the final since then. They finished fourth on the table last season.

Mumbai Indians’ Rohit Sharma (6211 runs) is 4th in the all-time list of runscorers in the IPL.
Mumbai Indians’ Ishan Kishan has scored 47, 58 & 52 in his last 4 innings.
Gujarat Titans’ Shubman Gill (890 runs) topped the IPL runs list in 2023.
Gujarat Titans’ Kane Williamson has scored 118, 109, 43, 133* & 51 in his last 8 innings (all Tests).

Head-to-Head

The two teams have met four times since the Titans debuted in 2022, both sides winning two of those matches.

Gujarat Titans Form

It’s hard to imagine that the powerful Titans unit won’t make it through to the final for the third time in their brief history.

Their batting is pure blue chip, with Shubman Hill, Kane Williamson and David Miller supported by Sai Sudharsan and Wriddhiman Saha.

Last season they had the IPL’s three top wicket-takers in their attack, but Mohammed Shami will miss the IPL following his ankle surgery. That leaves Mohit Sharma (top of the IPL 2023 list with 28 wickets) and Rashid Khan (joint second with Shami) to lead an attack that includes Josh Little, Umesh Yadav and Spencer Johnson.

Gujarat Titans Team News

The Titans have no visible weaknesses, so it will all boil down to performances on the pitch.

Mumbai Indians Form

Mumbai Indians will have one eye on claiming a record sixth IPL title with a trio of top stars in the shape of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya.

They have some exciting new additions to their squad in the shape of Romario Shepherd, Mohammad Nabi, Shreyas Gopal, Gerald Coetzee and young Kwena Maphaka, but their squad is low on international experience.

They will be hoping that two or three of their talented quintet of Dewald Brevis, Mohammad Nabi, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma and Tim David can stand up and be counted as stars or the season.

Mumbai Indians Team News

Mumbai’s squad is strong but inexperienced, so they will be hoping to avoid any injuries or loss of form to their star players.

Verdict

Gujarat Titans v Mumbai Indians

I am backing Mumbai Indians to win. I am also backing Rohit Sharma to top score for Mumbai Indians.

Shubman Gill is a good bet to top score for the Gujarat Titans.

Mumbai Indians win
