GUJ vs MUM Prediction: Match Details

Match: Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians

Date: 24th March, 2024

Time: 7:30 PM

Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad

GUJ vs MUM Match Preview

Gujarat Titans have been phenomenal in both the seasons they have played so far. They won the IPL trophy in 2022 and finished as runners-up in 2023. But they will be without Hardik Pandya this time, who was their captain in the previous two campaigns. With new captain Shubman Gill at the helm, GT will look to start afresh and maintain their legacy. Much will depend on experienced players like Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, and David Miller.

Interestingly, Hardik Pandya left Gujarat Titans to play for Mumbai Indians. The five-time IPL winners will be under pressure to perform this year after a controversial decision to change the captain. Skipper Hardik Pandya is fit to bowl and will play as an allrounder. They have a quality fast bowling line-up led by the spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. But the lack of a high quality spinner might haunt Mumbai Indians.
