Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians, IPL 2023, Qualifier 2: GT vs MI Dream11 prediction, playing XI, fantasy tips

Akash Madhwal's breathtaking bowling performance against Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator would have given five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians wings and they would be fancying their chances against defending champions Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 to be played in the world's largest stadium today. 

Mumbai Indians, riding on magical figures of five for five produced by Madhwal at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday night, knocked out LSG from the race to the final with an 81-run win.

Gujarat Titans, outclassed and outgunned in Qualifier 1 by Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings, will have one last chance to gather themselves up and put their best foot forward in familiar conditions here in order to qualify for their second IPL final on the trot.

It will be imperative for the defending champions that their batting clicks in unison since Shubman Gill and Vijay Shankar have done the bulk of the heavy lifting with the bat in the last few games.

The contest here on Friday night will be the third meeting between GT and MI this season, with both teams winning one game each.
