Today, the second qualifier match of the 16th season of IPL is taking place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Mumbai Indians, winning the toss, have elected to bowl first. The Gujarat team faced defeat against Chennai in the first qualifier match, while Mumbai emerged won against Lucknow in the Eliminator match. Kumar Kartikeya has returned to Mumbai’s lineup, and Gujarat sees the comeback of Josh Little.
In case of unfavorable weather leading to match cancellation, Gujarat will advance to the finals due to their position atop the points table. Gujarat finished the league stage with 20 points, having won 10 out of 14 matches. However, if the match proceeds as planned, the winning team will directly secure a spot in the final, while the losing team will be eliminated from the tournament. Mumbai Indians have the experience of winning 5 IPL trophies, while Gujarat emerged as champions in the previous IPL season. Hence, an intense battle is expected between the two teams. Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians are adept at reaching the finals, and Gujarat coach Ashish Nehra is skilled in guiding the team to victory.
