Interested in IPL Predictions Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians (Match 51) for IPL 2022?
Well, this page is just what are looking for!
Match preview
Table toppers Gujarat Titans will face the bottom side Mumbai Indians in Match 51 of IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium.
The league leaders suffered only their second loss of the season against Punjab kings but still remain at the top of the table with 16 points from 10 games.
Shubman Gill’s poor form with the bat and Rashid Khan’s lack of wickets remains a worry for Gujarat.
However, Hardik Pandya is averaging 44.14 in the tournament and leading from the front.
Mumbai on the other hand are coming off after picking up their maiden win of the season against Rajasthan Royals.
Mumbai who are already out of contention might look to test their bench strength against the Titans.
Rohit and Ishan Kishan’s bad run is going on and on and their main finisher, Kieron Pollard looks like a spent force, without his customary swagger.
Despite this, Rohit would be looking for a similar performance as they did against the Royals and end the league stage on a high.

Key Players in the game
HARDIK PANDYA (GT)
Pandya has been in sensational form this season scoring 309 runs in just 9 games.
Given the nature of the wicket, we can expect runs from him today.
MOHAMMED SHAMI (GT)
The right-arm seamer has picked up 15 wickets this season and has been providing key breakthroughs with the new ball.
TILAK VERMA (MI)
Verma has been in great touch this season scoring 307 runs in 9 games at an average of 43.
SURYAKUMAR YADAV
Surya smashed 51 runs from 39 balls in Mumbai Indians’ victory over Rajasthan Royals in their last game.
He has looked in excellent nick through out the tournament but hasn’t got any support from the other batters.
IPL Win Prediction
Over the years, MI’s success has been built of the back of 3 key performers.
Bumrah, Rohit Sharma and Pollard.
Sadly for MI, each of them is suffering a severe dip in form. Worryingly, they look jaded and are unable to inspire their team mates who lack the requisite experience.
As a result, the form of two sides could not be more different and the Titans are the overwhelming favourites to win.
