MI vs GT Match Prediction: Mumbai Indians will host Gujarat Titans at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on May 12th, 2023.
Mumbai Indians, as always, somehow get back themselves in the qualification contention in most of the IPL seasons. They are at the 3rd of the table right now after defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore by 6 wickets easily. They will go against defending champion of the Indian Premier League and the table topper of the current IPL season 2023.
Mumbai Indians regularly chased 3 high-scoring matches in their last 3 matches out of four. The batting unit is performing quite well, and in the last match, it was all Suryakumar Yadav’s show, as he scored 83 runs in just 35 balls with a strike rate of 237. He was toying with Royal Challengers bowlers, but the bowlers of RCB also gave too many freebies.
Rohit Sharma‘s bad form still goes on as he got out only on 7 runs. The new hero of the Mumbai Indians, Nehal Wadhera, once again shone as he scored 52 runs in just 34 balls, and it was his back-to-back fifty in Tata Indian Premier League.
Jason Behrendorff took 3 wickets in the match, but other than him, most of the bowlers were expensive, and still, Mumbai Indians are struggling with the bowling unit, which they need to correct because they will not be going to chase down 200+ runs every time.
Gujarat Titans won their last match quite easily against the Lucknow Super Giants in which Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill had a 142 runs partnership together. Saha scored a quick-fire 81 runs in just 43 balls, and Gill went not out in the match on 94 runs in 51 balls.
Shubman Gill was the player of the match after his performance, but he wanted to score a century, which he said in the post-match presentation.
I didn’t get much to bat in the first few overs but it is important to not get carried away with what your partner is doing. I had not hit sixes in the last two matches and today I struck a few, I always keep working on my skills.
Shubman Gill said in the Post Match presentation
Gujarat Titans are the favorite to win this season’s IPL 2023, and currently, they are in the 1st spot of the IPL league table. Hardik Pandya is happy with the team and player’s performance, as he said even in the post view that he can’t ask any more from his players.
Lucknow Super Giants had an amazing opening stand as they went to 88 in just 8 overs, and the amazing catch by the Afghani magician spinner Rashid Khan changed the whole scenario of the match. After that, Mohit Sharma grabbed that momentum in his hand and took 4 wickets in the match.
It is going to be a match between Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans at Wankhede Stadium, and if any Gujarat wins that match, then they will secure their place in playoffs.

MI vs GT: Head-to-Head Record
Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians played two matches against each other in IPL. Mumbai Indians won the first match against the Gujarat Titans, and it was table topper vs bottom table team at that time. Surprisingly, it was Mumbai Indians who were at the bottom of the table and still won the match against the Gujarat Titans, who later in the tournament won their first IPL trophy in their debut season.
In the last match, Gujarat Titans took their revenge back and won the match by 55 runs in Indian Premier League 2023. It was an easy win for the Gujarat Titans as Mumbai’s top order failed to score runs.
MI vs GT: Pitch Report of Wankhede Stadium
Stats from the last 5 matches played on the Wankhede Stadium
| Matches Played | 5 |
| Batting first won | 1 |
| Batting Second won | 4 |
| Average first innings score | 190 runs |
| Pace bowlers took | 33 wickets |
| Spin bowlers Took | 23 Wickets |
Wankhede stadium pitches are mostly batting-friendly, but the trends have changed recently, and everyone gets something from the pitch, like in the last match. Both teams scored decent runs, and spinners and pacers also got wickets, so it was a wicket with a neutral surface.
The pitch in the last match showed no sign of a turn, and that led batsmen to hit freely against them as Glenn Maxwell did against the in-form spinner Piyush Chawla. The outfit is super past; once the ball passes the fielder, it will surely be a boundary.
Faf du Plessis also said that the score of 200 is good, but it should be around 20-25 runs more because of the pitch and conditions.
I think we were at least 20 runs short, in context of the wicket. They are a strong chasing team and they bat deep. We didn’t capitalise in the last five overs, disappointed due to the lack of runs in those five overs. You need to say 200 is a good score (to motivate the players), needed to make sure you take the pace off.
Faf du Plessis in Post Match Presentation
It is going to be 2nd match in a row on the Wankhede pitch, and we can see a slower surface than what we saw in the match between Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, which was a run feast match.
Team Preview of Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians are 3rd in the points table with 12 points and are ins a strong zone to qualify for the playoffs. It will be crucial for them because they missed out on the playoffs last year because they finished their season at the bottom of the table. However, in the first phase of the IPL season 2023, they were in the lower half of the points table, but in the second half of the IPL, they just kept their winning momentum right, leading them to the 3rd spot of the points table.
Mumbai Indians were hopeless in their last match against the Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2023, in which they lost to them by 55 runs which is a huge margin in the T20, but after that, they really backed themself and won 3 out of 4 matches while chasing a 200+ score.
However, the scenario is changed now, and most of the Mumbai Indians batsmen are performing well right now, specially Suryakumar Yadav, who is in amazing form right now as he scored 83 runs in just 35 balls in their previous match. He scored 4 half-centuries in his last 5 innings and was also the highest run scorer for the Mumbai Indians till now, with 376 runs in 11 matches.
Nehal Wadhera will be their key player because he was the only batsman who scored 40 runs innings against the Gujarat Titans’ side in their last encounter in IPL 2023. He scored back-to-back fifties in his last 2 matches, and right now, he is one of the best players of the season for the Mumbai Indians.
Mumbai Indians need to come up with better bowling performances by their bowlers as their main pace bowler, already out of the IPL Mumbai team struggling with the bowling unit. The pitch is not going to give much help to spinners, so Piysuh Chawala will not be much in use, just like in the last match when Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell hit sixes in his spell.
Chris Jordan got his chance in the last match, but he was being smacked down the ground and conceded 48 runs in 4 overs which is very expensive by any bowler. Sandeep Warrier can get a chance to play 11 in the next match against the Gujarat Titans.
Team Preview of Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans are top of the table with 16 points after playing 11 matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, and if they win their next match, then it will be secured a place for them in the qualification.
In the last match, their opening stand gave them the best start they could get, as the partnership was around 142 between Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill. The team is doing quite well together and giving an all-round performance in most of the matches.
There is a slight issue with the bowling lineup, as their 2nd pace bowler is not really doing well, but it was a surprising decision by Hardik Pandya not to give more overs to Alzarri Joseph, who bowled his first over quite beautifully and gave away only 5 runs.
Mohit Sharma came as an important player for the Gujarat Titans after Yash Dayal left the team due to the five-ball sixes Rinku Singh hit in his over. Mohit Sharma gave the star performance as he took 4 wickets, and his slower ones are quite effective in the death overs, and also said how he did practice with the old ball and planned out things with Shami.
We talk a lot to each other. What to do when the ball is old and when it is new. It was a day wicket, so the wicket was expected to get slower and that’s what I spoke with Shami. I have practised the knuckle-ball but there is an injury on one of my fingers, so not using that. We tried to keep the slower ball out of the reach of the batter. We speak a lot to Ashu bhai [Ashish Nehra] – especially what to bowl to which batter. Length balls are necessary as well, it is not all about the slower ones.
Mohit Sharma said in the Post Match presentation.
Gujarat Titans have been the best team this season with their overall performances. They are not dependent on a few set of players, and the performance of the players are quite consistent, which is why they are at the top of the table.
They have not did many changes in their lineup, and the batting lineup is the same as it was in the previous year, which is why they have such a stable batting lineup because they all know what role they need to play in the match.
