Gill vs Pandya: Two captains collide
The command of Gujarat is in the hands of Shubman Gill this time, and he has given a magnificent stability to the team under his leadership. Although Gujarat slipped a little in the last few matches of the season, they have shown their strength in every department.

On the other hand, Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians has written amazing comeback story despite the slow start. Suryakumar Yadav’s batting and Bumrah-Balt’s deadly bowling pair have once again made the team a strong contender in the playoffs.

Mullanpur pitch: batsmen exams
The ground of Mullanpur has not been very kind for batsmen. This season has so far scored 200+ only once. Here the batsmen have to struggle to collect runs, while the bowlers get help from the pitch.

Punjab Kings created history by successfully defending 111 runs at this ground. In such a situation, a low-scoring thriller between Mumbai and Gujarat can be expected.
