Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Latest News: In front of 90,000 spectators at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the most riveting match of Tata IPL 2024 was played on Sunday. Simply because there was so much of history as Gujarat Titans faced their neighbours Mumbai Indians in match 5 of IPL 17.
Hardik Pandya’s shock transfer to Mumbai Indians was still on the minds of fans as they were seen jeering the new MI skipper. On the other hand, Shubhman Gill, the new GT captain had a lot to prove. In the end, Titans kept their nerves and won this showdown with steely resolve by beating the visitors by six runs.
Just like last night’s Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders, bowling in death overs proved to be the key factor that determined the winner. Yesterday it was Harshit Rana and today, we saw Umesh Yadav successfully defending the target.
As per ESPNcricinfo, Titans had less than 10 per cent chances to win the game at 12th over of Mumbai Indians’ chase. For we saw Rohit Sharma’s robust 43 off 28 balls. For most of the chase, visitors looked very comfortable. But somewhere between 13th and 17th overs, Titans managed to slow down Mumbai and then there was no looking back. Jasprit Bumrah’s killer three-wicket haul went in vain as Titans pulled off this one.
