Gujarat Titans disciplined bowling restricted Mumbai Indian to 155/8 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday. It was a curious 20 overs to kick off the evening at Wankhede, a venue often known for high scores that looked like it would play true to reputation, but Gujarat Titans clawed their way back with a gritty middle-overs squeeze to leave Mumbai Indians at a potentially tricky 155.
The hosts got off to a promising start, reaching 97/2 with Will Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav looking well set. But what followed was a dramatic collapse, with MI stumbling to 113/6, losing four wickets for just 16 runs. That middle-phase wobble, engineered through a disciplined effort from both spinners and seamers, denied Mumbai the late flourish they were eyeing.
Jacks top-scored with a hard-earned half-century — his first of the 2025 season — but it was a lone bright spot amidst a string of single-digit returns. His innings, however, was aided by two dropped chances, a theme that reflected GT’s mixed day in the field. SKY too was handed a life, but Gujarat made amends by constantly picking up wickets to halt the momentum.
In their overall head-to-head battles, Gujarat Titans lead with four wins out of six encounters against Mumbai Indians. However, with form, momentum, and the home crowd on their side, MI will be looking to narrow that gap — and more importantly, settle the score from their previous meeting in Ahmedabad.
