Match 51 of IPL 2022 will see Gujarat Titans (GT) lock horns with Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Brabourne Stadium on Friday. Both teams have had a contrasting tournament so far in terms of performance. While GT toil at the top of the points table, the five-time champions are placed at the bottom with only win under their belt.
MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene admitted that his side has underperformed but is hoping to find the lost touch in the last few games and finish the tournament on a high. Despite winning the previous game, where both the batting and bowling came good, it is amply clear that the five-time champions haven’t found a formula or even a set template.
The Titans, on the other hand, stumbled in their last game against Punjab Kings after a winning run in IPL 2022. This will help the management sit back and revisit their plans and strategies ahead of the playoffs.
