GT vs MI Dream11 Prediction: Gujarat Titans are expected to win this match. They got the better of Mumbai last time they played them here at Ahmedabad. Mumbai on the other hand will definitely give a close fight but just not have enough in their bowling to take down Hardik Pandya and his co.
Match: Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians, Qualifier 2
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Gujarat Titans are coming into this match after a defeat against Chennai in the first qualifier.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians took down Lucknow in the Eliminator match by a huge 81 runs.
Both Gujarat and Mumbai are good chasing teams.
But teams batting second have lost four of the last five matches in Ahmedabad.
However, it is expected we get to see fresh wickets for the two playoffs games and batting will only get better than the first innings.
Shubman Gill is in brilliant form with the bat and his wicket will be very crucial for Mumbai early in the innings. The youngster has over 700 runs in the season so far with two centuries in the last three innings, including one in his last outing in Ahmedabad.
Gill further has over 400 runs in Ahmedabad this season at an average of 67.3 with three 50s and one century.
The middle order has not been a stable lineup from the last few games and Gujarat will be keen to get more contributions in this aspect.
Suryakumar Yadav scored a 49-ball 103 against Gujarat when these two sides met last time this season.
Rashid Khan was brilliant with both bat and ball against Mumbai last time, scoring an unbeaten 79 off 32 and took four wickets with the ball as well.
Cameron Green is another MI batter who is in great touch. He scored a quick 23-ball 41 in the Eliminator and a century before that.
Akash Madhwal took 3 wickets in the last game between these two sides and also came on the back of a match winning 5-wicket haul in the Eliminator game.
Mohit Sharma will be a deciding factor for Gujarat in this fixture. In 5 games in Ahmedabad this season Mohit has taken 12 wickets at a strike rate of 9.
Mohammed Shami will be another key bowler for the Titans, who has an astonishing 15 wickets in 7 games in Ahmedabad at a strike rate of 11.2. He will be the key to propel MI’s firing start up the order which has been setting up the base for them perfectly.
Gujarat need to make some changes in their XI considering the conditions to take down this Mumbai side.
The likes of Sai Sudharsan, Alzarri Joseph and Sai Kishore can come in.
Hardik Pandya is due for a match winning all-round performance this season.
Mumbai is expected to go unchanged. However, Kumar Karthikeya is the only possible change they would be looking at if any.

Poor form alert (GT)
Noor Ahmed has only 3 wickets in the last 4 games.
Hardik has 20 runs in the last 3 innings.
Saha has 26 runs in the last 3 innings.
Shanaka has 26 off 26 in 3 innings.
Poor form alert (MI)
Chris Jordan has taken only 2 wickets in the last 4 matches.
Hardik Pandya has been out of form and also not doing much with the ball lately.
However, considering this match is going to be in Ahmedabad where he has a good record with both bat and ball can really turn things around for his side.
Rohit has not been at his best this season but just doing enough in the recent few games.
However, his record against both Shami and Rashid are not promising.
Ishan Kishan will be another such choice considering Shami’s ability with the new ball.
Tilak Verma missed a few games due to injury but can now be worth taking risk for this match.
Saha on his day can also make a huge difference to your points tally.
Chris Jordan has not been at his best, taking just 2 wickets in the last 4 outings. However, he can be worth taking risk in this game if he plays considering the dimensions of the ground and his ability to deliver in big games.
Kumar Karthikeya can be a worthy pick if he plays considering Gujarat’s recent numbers against left arm orthodox.

Saha vs Miller
Saha on his day can bring a huge change to your points tally. Especially if GT is batting first. Miller can be a better choice while chasing.

Mohit is no brainer if Gujarat bowls second. In addition, Gujarat has done well against leg spinners this season.
