Expert Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match?

• If MI bat first, they are expected to post a 200-plus total. MI's batters are in great form at the moment and will back themselves to put up a good show. MI also have a formidable attack and will be confident of defending a big total.
• If GT bat first, their fate will depend on their top order. Their top three are in red-hot form, and if they can handle MI's in-form pacers, they can power their team to a good score. GT are expected to post a 180-plus total.

While both GT and MI have done well this season, the latter will be the favourites to win the upcoming game.
