Gujarat Titans were asked to bat first and they had a flying start to their innings. Wriddhiman Saha (19) and Shubman Gill (31) batted pretty well at the top. They added 31 runs for the opening partnership and put Mumbai Indians bowlers under pressure.
After both the openers got out, Sai Sudharsan was the one who took the responsibility. The left-hander played a decent role for his team and made sure he took them to a decent total on the board. He didn’t get the desired support from the other end.
Sai Sudharsan scored 45 runs whereas Azmatullah Omarzai (17) and David Miller (12) played decent hands. But the real blitz came from the bat of Rahul Tewatia, who came out all guns blazing and made sure that Gujarat Titans ended with a fighting total on the board.
Rahul Tewatia scored 22 runs off 15 balls and made sure his side went past 150 runs on the board. Based on the collective efforts, the Shubman Gill-led side ended with a total of 168 runs on the board, which seemed difficult after they lost a few early wickets in the game.

Both Rohit Sharma and Dewald Brevis lost their wickets at crucial junctures and all of a sudden Mumbai Indians came end pressure. Tim David (11) and Tilak Varma (25) hit some blows but couldn’t take their team home as Mumbai was left tottering at 150/7.
