A place in the IPL 2023 final will be on the line when the defending champions Gujarat Titans and five-time winners Mumbai Indians collide in Qualifier 2 in Ahmedabad on Friday. The winner of this match will take on Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.

Gujarat Titans topped the points table with 10 victories out of 14 matches but lost Qualifier 1 against CSK by 15 runs. Mumbai Indians finished fourth on the table with 16 points, with a little assistance from GT who defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore. MI then defeated Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator to book this clash. 

Titans had to face CSK at their home venue of Chepauk. Mohammed Shami and Mohit Sharma picked two wickets each at a decent rate but Rashid Khan and Darshan Nalkande went for runs. Chasing 173 on a pitch that favoured bowlers, GT lost wickets at regular intervals. Shubman Gill scored 42 off 38 but couldn't keep going. Rashid Khan threatened CSK with a superb 30 off 16 but he had no support. 

Mumbai Indians hammered LSG at Chepauk by 81 runs. Cameron Green (41 off 23), Suryakumar Yadav (33 off 20) and Nehal Wadhera (23 off 12) helped MI post 182. Marcus Stoinis (40 off 27) was standing in their way but was run out. The star of the night was Akash Madhwal, who claimed a 5 for 5 in what was one of the best spells in the league's history.
