Gujarat Titans face Mumbai Indians in Match 30 of IPL 2026 at Ahmedabad, which is their home ground. GT did not start well and lost their first two games, but they have turned things around with three straight wins. That run has pushed them up to fourth place on the table, with a net run rate of +0.018.
Mumbai Indians are having a tough season so far and are placed ninth. Their only points came from a strong win against KKR in the opening game. Since then, they have gone on to lose four matches in a row, leaving them with a net run rate of -1.076. That has added a lot of pressure early in the tournament.
This makes the next match very important for Mumbai as they look to get back on track. Facing Gujarat at Ahmedabad is never easy, and it becomes tougher with the home side coming in after a couple of good wins.
Gujarat will aim to keep their run going and register another win. Mumbai, on the other hand, need a strong performance to stay in the race. The result could depend on how both teams handle the situation, though current form gives Gujarat a slight edge.

Gujarat Titans have turned things around after early defeats to Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, winning their next three games against Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants, and Kolkata Knight Riders, which has now lifted them to fourth place in the standings with a positive NRR of 0.018. In their most recent match, they put in a strong performance, limiting KKR to 180 before chasing it down in 19.4 overs comfortably.
Their bowling has been consistent, while the batting has held up well, though the team relies heavily on the top three. Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler are expected to do most of the scoring, and their form will be important for Gujarat to post competitive totals.
Gill has been in supreme touch, scoring 251 runs in three matches at an average of 62.75 and a strike rate of 155. He is coming off a match-winning 86 off 50 against KKR and has an excellent record in Ahmedabad, where he has scored three hundreds and six fifties at an average of 54.
Sudharsan hasn’t been among the runs, but Buttler getting back into form has been a major boost for GT. He has scored 60 off 37, 52 off 27, and 25 off 15 in his last three innings and looks settled. He also enjoys playing against Mumbai, with 602 runs in 13 matches at an average of 55 and a strike rate of 146.47.
The middle order looks a bit thin, with Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, and Shahrukh Khan. Sundar has contributed, but the side may need more from that area if the top order fails.
The bowling unit has been working like a well-oiled machine, led by Prasidh Krishna, who has taken 11 wickets in five matches while going at 9.20 per over. He can make things happen in the middle overs, and will be effective against MI’s brittle middle-order. Ashok Sharma is another option, as he can bowl at a high pace and has picked up six wickets so far.
Sundar and Rashid Khan handle spin duties, with Rashid in good form with six wickets at 7.70. He also has a strong record against Mumbai, with 21 wickets in 18 matches at 20.38. Mohammed Siraj has taken five wickets and can strike early, while Kagiso Rabada found form in the last game with 3-29, adding more strength to their bowling.
Key Players: Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Prasidh Krishna
Jos Buttler Total Runs Over 26.5 @ 1.85
Jos Buttler has scored 201 runs in 5 matches this season, averaging 40.20. He has a really good record against Mumbai Indians (602 runs in 13 matches, averaging 54.72). He is in good form this season with three scores of over 30 and always delivers while playing against Mumbai Indians.
Shubman Gill Total Runs Over 31.5 @ 1.85
Shubman Gill has scored a total of 251 runs in 4 matches this season, averaging 62.75. He has scored three consecutive half centuries and has scored past 30 runs in all the matches played. Given his current run of form, we back Gill to score over 31 runs in today's match.

Mumbai Indians opened their season with a solid win over KKR, but things have gone downhill since then, with four straight losses leaving them ninth on the table with an NRR of -1.076. In their most recent game, Punjab Kings chased down 196 in just 16.3 overs and made it look very easy. Results like these are not what you expect from a team with such a rich history, and MI need to fix things quickly before it gets worse.
Their batting has lacked consistency so far, which they will want to address, while the bowling unit has struggled as well, conceding too many runs in every match.
Rohit Sharma missed the last game and is expected to sit out again as he is still recovering from injury. That means Ryan Rickelton and Quinton de Kock will continue to open. Rickelton has been a bit up and down, but De Kock showed his class with an unbeaten 112 off 60 balls against Punjab, proving why he deserved a place from the start.
The middle order has not fired as expected. Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya are important players for Mumbai, but none of them have played a big innings so far. One of them could step up here, and both Suryakumar and Tilak look due for a big score. Suryakumar also averages 52.66 against GT, which makes him a good option to score at least 30.
There have been some positives, though. Sherfane Rutherford and Naman Dhir have both scored fifties in the last two matches. Dhir impressed in the previous game with a 50 off 31 balls and looked comfortable in the middle order.
In bowling, Shardul Thakur has picked up six wickets but has been expensive, going at 13.57 runs per over. Jasprit Bumrah is yet to take a wicket but has kept things tight, conceding only 8.63 per over, and his contest with Gill could be worth watching.
Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, and Hardik Pandya have had mixed performances so far. AM Ghazanfar has been a bright spot, taking four wickets in three matches at an average of 10.30.
Perhaps, MI would try a few bowling changes for this game, like getting in left-arm seamer Ashwani Kumar in place of Chahar. Mitchell Santner is also likely to be given a go, given the nature of the pitch.
Key Players: Quinton de Kock, Jasprit Bumrah, AM Ghazanfar
Nama Dhir Total Runs Over 18.5 @ 1.85
Dhir played full use of the opportunity in the last match where he was promoted to number 4 with a quick fire half century (50 runs in 31 balls). He is expected to bat at number 4 in this match as well which increases his chances of once again dominating against the opponent bowlers on a good batting track.
Quinton de Kock Total Runs Over 23.5 @ 1.85
Quinton de Kock scored a magnificent hundred on his comeback to IPL and that too against a quality bowling attack in Punjab Kings. On a good batting track at Ahmedabad, expect de Kock to carry his good run of form and score over 23 runs.

It will be a warm and hazy evening at the start, with temperatures hovering around 30–32°C at 7:30 PM before easing into the high 20s as the night progresses. The skies should be clear to slightly hazy with no rain expected, and moderate humidity combined with light winds could make conditions feel a little uncomfortable under the lights.

Average Turn
A total of nine games were played at the Narendra Modi Stadium during IPL 2025, where teams batting first recorded an average of 216, and only two totals were under 200. In the first two matches at this venue this season, the first innings scores have been 210-6 and 180. If things continue in the same way, it should stay a good surface for batting through the game, though bowlers can also find some help at times. Fast bowlers can get extra bounce and carry early on, especially in the powerplay, which gives them a chance to strike, while spinners tend to come into play more during the middle overs.
If Gujarat bat first, they might look at a total in the 190 to 200 range. MI, given their batting issues, could be looking at something closer to 180 to 190 while setting a target.
Total Match Score Over 377.5 @ 1.92
Matches played at Narendra Modi Stadium this season have been high scoring where the average total match score at this this season is around 370-380 runs. The last time Mumbai and Gujarat played at this venue the total match score was 436.
Mumbai Indians to win the coin toss @ 1.90
We back Mumbai Indians to win the coin toss in today's match against the Gujarat Titans.
In 23 of the 25 IPL 2026 matches played so far, the captain who won the toss opted to bowl first. The only two games where that did not happen were at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Will this venue follow a different pattern as well? As a general rule, teams at Indian venues prefer chasing in night games because dew settles in during the second innings and makes batting a lot easier, as we saw in the previous match played here. And based on what we have seen this season, the captain who calls it right in this match will almost certainly want to field first.
Mumbai Indians have had a tough start, losing four out of five games and ending up at ninth place on the points table. Neither their batting nor their bowling has been consistent, and they will need to raise their level if they are to compete against Gujarat at home. The bowlers have had a bigger role in these struggles, and the side will expect Jasprit Bumrah and AM Ghazanfar to deliver stronger spells in this match.
Gujarat Titans head into this contest on the back of consecutive wins and will be confident playing at home again. They will look to keep that run going against a team that has been struggling. Their batting unit has done well, though there is some dependence on the top order. If Mumbai can get rid of Gill and Buttler early, it could make things difficult for the rest.
On current form, Gujarat look ahead, and their bowling has also been more dependable. Backing them at home seems like the safer pick in this contest.
Gujarat Titans are expected to win this match.
