Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Gujarat to become the first team to go to the playoffs

Two teams at different ends of the spectrum go head to head in game 51 of the Indian Premier League. While Mumbai will be looking to secure the second win of the season, Gujarat will be looking to book a place in the playoff after losing their second game this season in the last game. 

Gujarat is on a roar, they are playing their first season in the IPL and seem to have a perfect lineup for all occasions but somehow lost their last game. What separates them from others is the clutch player in the name of Rahul Tewatia who gets them home in case of trouble. Also with Saha coming in form, they look like a complete side. They are vulnerable batting first and also when the pitch is not batsman-friendly but that won't be the case at Brabourne stadium which has plenty to offer to the batters.

Mumbai breathed a sigh of relief when they won their first game at this edition's IPL. Although it does not do any good to their position in the points table as they still are at the bottom it would have boosted their confidence. They are preparing for the next season and have nothing to lose. Mumbai will be looking to give debuts to the youngsters in the team and build for the next season while being party poopers for others.

The pitch will be good to bat on and we have seen many close matches on this ground this season. Expect a score of 160+ in both the innings. We are expecting GT to bounce back and win the game. 

• GT to win for 2;
• Total Over 319.5 for 1.92;
• 1st Innings Batting Team, TO 167.5 Runs for 1.832
