The Mumbai-based franchise will host the defending champions at the Wankhede Stadium.
This is a reverse match between the two teams in IPL 2023. Earlier this season, Mumbai Indians traveled to Ahmedabad where they battled Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium. GT won that game by 55 runs. The average first innings score in the five matches at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai this season is 193 runs. The pitch at this venue is expected to be in favor of the batters, which promises them ample support in the upcoming match. Gujarat Titans will look to continue their good form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 as the defending champions take on Mumbai Indians on Friday. The Hardik Pandya-led side are at the top of the table with 16 points and are just one win away from securing a place in the playoffs. GT are currently unbeaten in their last two matches and with wins against Lucknow Super Giants and Rajasthan Royals in their last two matches, they are a force to be reckoned with in IPL 2023. The head-to-head record between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans stands at 1-1. When the two franchises met last season, MI won by five runs. So far in the IPL, the teams batting first have won both the matches between MI and GT.
It will be exciting to see which team will come out on top in tonight's IPL 2023 battle. Here is the overall summary of MI vs GT head-to-head record: Mumbai Indians have not played a single match against Gujarat Titans at Wankhede Stadium. Hence, the head-to-head record between MI and GT in IPL matches at Wankhede Stadium stands at 0-0. The previous two matches between these two franchises were played at the Brabourne Stadium and Narendra Modi Stadium respectively. MI won at Brabourne Stadium, GT won at World's Biggest Cricket Stadium. The first innings average in a T20 match at this venue is 185. It was reduced to 174 runs in the second innings. The target of 200+ runs was chased in the first three matches of IPL 2023 at Wankhede. The pitch will favor the batsmen as a high-scoring match is expected on Friday. The surface is likely to be a nightmare for bowlers. However, the spinners will get some help in the match. Out of 9 T20 matches played at this venue, 4 matches were won by the teams who batted first. On the other hand, the chasing team won 5 times. The ground team is favored to bowl first and if common sense prevails, the skipper who wins the toss may wish to bowl first. Wriddhiman Saha has been in good form for his side in the last few games and he is expected to open the batting again along with Shubman Gill. The opening partnership has been a strength for GT this season and will be supported by captain Hardik's all-round talent. Pandya will be backed by another fast bowling all-rounder Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Abhinav Manohar and Rahul. Tewatia will form a formidable midfield. Tewatia is an in-form finisher for the IPL 2022 winners and the onus may fall on him to play another explosive knock alongside Rashid Khan. Rashid is expected to be the main spinner in support of Noor Ahmed.
Mohammad Shami leads the line-up along with Mohit Sharma who is experienced in pace attack.
Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans will clash in the IPL 2023 match at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday. Titans skipper Hardik Pandya and Mumbai's Rohit Sharma have won six tosses in 11 matches.
