IPL 2022, GT vs MI: Mumbai Indians Edge Past Gujarat Titans, Win By 5 Runs

Pacer Daniel Sams displayed ice-cool temperament as he conceded just three runs in the last over to help Mumbai Indians pull off a stunning five-run victory over table-toppers Gujarat Titans in an IPL game on Saturday. MI were seemingly down and out with the Titans' opening pair of Wriddhiman Saha (55 off 40 balls) and Shubman Gill (52 off 36 balls) sharing a 106-run partnership in 12.1 overs while chasing 178. However, the Titans kept losing wickets, including two crucial run-outs as they required nine runs in the last over to win the match. They could score just three, while losing one wicket to slump to their second successive defeat in the season.

Mumbai Indians Predicted XI vs Gujarat Titans, IPL 2022: Rohit Sharma May Replace Hrithik Shokeen With Murugan Ashwin

Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) fixture at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. MI will be hoping to register back-to-back wins after opening their account against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their previous match.

IPL 2022, GT vs MI: Task cut out for Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians against table toppers Gujarat Titans

Mumbai Indians for not retaining Hardik Pandya in the IPL retention window was issues with his fitness. Pandya did not bowl at all during IPL 2021, prompting Mumbai Indians not to hedge their bets on his fitness. Whatever be the actual reason for his non-retention, the net gainer has been debutants Gujarat Titans, whom the Baroda allrounder has led to eight wins so far while contributing 309 runs in nine matches and taking four wickets. On Friday at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium, it will be an emotional moment for Pandya as the Titans, looking to get back to winning ways after their eight-wicket loss to Punjab Kings, lock horns with Mumbai Indians. The latter will look to build on their solitary win against Rajasthan Royals in their last encounter. Mumbai’s problems stem from lack of runs from captain Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Keiron Pollard apart from the paucity of wickets from pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. The latter has taken five scalps, three of them in a single match, in nine matches at an economy of 7.45. The bowlers, as head coach Mahela Jayawardene highlighted in a pre-match virtual conference, have failed to dominate powerplay periods.

IPL 2022 has seen several top Indian stars in action for more than a month now and the form of some players could be of worry for the Indian team management in a World Cup year, but that of so many others is encouraging too.
