G11-Fantasy Cricket Prediction for Today's Match

 

Mumbai Indians instantly became favorites for the IPL 2023 trophy after their emphatic win against Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator at Chepauk on Wednesday, putting the Qualifier 2 tie a long way away. However, on Friday, the streak was broken by defending champions Gujarat Titans. Relying on home conditions and riding on a sensational batting performance from Shubman Gill, after Mohit Sharma took five wickets, GT registered an emphatic 62-run win and stormed into their second consecutive IPL final.

Against a mighty target of 234, a score never chased before in IPL history, Mumbai remained in the hunt till the 11th overs with Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green reeling at 123 for three after early jitters. But wrapped. And later after his departure, Suryakumar single-handedly picked up the pace and brought up a half-century as well.

However, with his dismissal in the 15th over, the rest of the line-up collapsed in no time as MI folded in 18.2 overs.
