Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Both teams preview 

Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans have been one of the most balanced sides throughout the league stage. Winning 9 out of 14 games, they ended up in third spot on the points table with a +0.254. GT looked strong mid-season, winning 5 of the 6 games at one point in the series with wins over DC, KKR, and SRH. However, their campaign faced a  few setbacks, including a 33-run loss to LSG and a crushing 83-run defeat to CSK in their final league stage game. Coming in this match against the Mumbai Indians, the team will be under pressure to perform, keeping in mind their last match performance and also the absence of their key player, Jos Buttler, who will not be part of the upcoming match.

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians had a roller coaster ride this season. After a slow start to the season and losing 3 of their first five games, MI bounced back with five consecutive wins, including dominant performances against RR and DC. They ended the league phase 4th on the table with 16 points and an impressive NRR of +1.142. However, MI’s major concern heading into the Eliminator match would be their performance against top-tier teams. They have 0 wins in 4 matches against all the top sides this season, including two losses to the same opponent, the GT. Moreover, their historical record of never winning the title after finishing outside the top two would also be a stat to consider.

The Eliminator is a do-or-die clash, and while MI have historically thrived in knockout pressure, they’ll need a complete turnaround in their approach and execution to knock GT out and march into Qualifier 2.
