GT vs MI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 35 | GT vs MI Dream11 Prediction Today | Ahmedabad Pitch Report

In 2022, Gujarat Titans (GT) pulled off heists when chasing. After being on the wrong end of some unexpected results this season – especially at the hands of Rinku Singh – GT got one back, this time when defending against Lucknow Super Giants.

With 31 needed off 36 balls and nine wickets in hand, GT were staring defeat in the face. But, a stirring fightback – the kind we’ve become accustomed to from GT – helped them steal a victory out of nowhere. However, they were helped at times by inept LSG batting, so a stronger performance from the outset is key in fighting off a dangerous Mumbai Indians (MI) team.

MI had their three-match winning streak broken at the hands of Punjab Kings. Despite the return of Jofra Archer, Rohit Sharma’s team struggled to contain with the ball, which will be of key focus today. Indeed, what they can hold heart in is the runs they are producing, and it will be fascinating to see how they fare against one of the strongest attacks in the league.

Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad Pitch Report and Weather

The average first innings score at Ahmedabad this season is 187.67 with the chasing team winning all three matches so far. However, the team bowling first (Gujarat) in the past two games were in strong positions to win, before Rinku Singh pulled it off for KKR and Samson/Hetmyer did the job for Rajasthan after early trouble.

A very hot and mostly clear evening is forecast. We can expect some dew, so the captain who wins the toss is likely to field.
