Background
Three teams still remain in contention for the Indian Premier League (IPL) title. While Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have already reached the finals, having beatean defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) in Qualifier 1, GT still have a chance to enter the finals as they had topped the league stage. They will take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Qualifier 2 to try and fight for a place in the final. However, it won't be that easy an affair.
While GT are coming on the back of a defeat, MI dominated the Eliminatior against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) winning the match by 81 runs to storm their way into this game. But given that the match will be played at Gujarat's home turf, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, it will be a slight advantage to the Hardik Pandya-led side.
Overall, the two teams have come against each othe three time. While GT have won just 1, MI have tasted two wins. Even though MI have a better reacord, the sample size is too small to draw any conclusion. MI will draw insipration from the fact that in their last match against Gujarat, earlier this season, it was the five-time champions who had beaten them and they would want to replicate a similar performance.
While MI seem to be peaking just at the right time, GT's strength is in being greater than the sum of its part. It would be interesting to see if Hardik is fit enough to roll his arms over. On the other hand, MI whose bowling had looked weak now looks better with the rise and rise of Akash Madhwal, fresh from a spell of 5/5.
All in all it looks set to be a mouth-watering game and with a place in IPL 2023 final at stake, each side would be willing to push themelves just that extra bit to reach the summit clash.
