Match Prediction: Who will win?
Prediction: Mumbai Indians to win.
While Gujarat Giants are in the form of their lives and sit at the top of the table, Mumbai Indians have a psychological edge with a 7-0 head-to-head record. MI’s experience in high-pressure situations and their superior balance of world-class all-rounders (Kerr, Sciver-Brunt, and Carey) give them a slight advantage over the Giants in what promises to be a close contest.
