Mumbai Indians (MI) need to get going. After winning their first game, the five-time champions sit bottom of the league after four straight defeats. Jasprit Bumrah wicketless in five games sums up their bowling struggles, and the time is now to deliver as a unit.

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans (GT) won their last game against KKR by five wickets thanks to a brilliant knock from skipper Shubman Gill (86 runs). Previously, the bowlers did a good job restricting KKR to 180 runs. Kagiso Rabada picked up three wickets as he continued his promising form. Mohammed Siraj and Ashok Sharma picked up two wickets each.

A good bowling powerplay for MI can work wonders as Gujarat is heavily dependent on one of their top three batters to play a big knock. The middle order has struggled, so they’ll need more consistency from Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler. However, MI’s middle order has also struggled badly.

GT has won their last three games and will be the confident side coming to this match.

Fantasy Cricket Tips for GT vs MI: Players to Watch/Key Stats

Top wicketkeeper Picks:  

• Jos Buttler averages 51.80 against MI at a strike rate of 143.40, including four fifties and a hundred. He has 621 runs against MI in 13 innings. Buttler loves playing against MI and has been in good touch as well. He’ll be a must pick and a top C/VC option.
• Quinton de Kock scored a brilliant hundred in the last game. He looked positive from the first ball and played his shots fearlessly. De Kock will be a key batter for MI against GT’s new ball bowling. Try him as C/VC too.

Key batter picks: 

• Sai Sudharsan looked in good touch in the last game and played a few good shots before getting dismissed. A big knock is due from the southpaw, and this might be the game where he does. He’ll be a must-pick despite his shaky form in the last two games.
• Shubman Gill has been the best batter for his team. He has 251 runs in four games at an average of 62.75 at a strike rate of 154.93, and he has three fifties in the four games he’s played.
• Suryakumar Yadav has only 106 runs in five games. He was dismissed first ball in the last game against PBKS. But, SKY has a great record against GT: 7 inns, 316 runs, avg. 52.7, SR 173.6.
• Sherfane Rutherford has played a lot of cricket at the Narendra Modi Stadium, as he was a part of the Gujarat Titans. He’s looked in good touch till now and will be a top differential pick for this game, especially if MI bats first.

Top all-rounder picks: 

• Hardik Pandya has 81 runs and two wickets in four games in IPL 2026. He’s been far from his best but he will bowl 2-3 overs and will bat in the middle order his side. Also, he knows this ground very well.

Key bowler picks: 

• Rashid Khan will be GT’s only spinner unless Washington Sundar comes on to bowl. His form is improving, and he’s a wicket-taker and is capable with the bat as well. Rashid can trouble MI’s middle order in this game.
• Prasidh Krishna is hitting the deck hard and bowling the key overs for Gujarat. He has 11 wickets in five games at an economy of 9.20 and a bowling strike rate of 10.90. Prasidh will be a must in your fantasy teams.
• Jasprit Bumrah has been wicketless after five games, but a good performance from him feels just around the corner. He’s arguably the best in the business and this is just a bad phase for him. You can back him for this game.

IPL 2026 30th Match: GT vs MI Match Prediction: Who will win?

Gujarat Titans, despite their overdependence on their top 3 batters, will be the favorites to win this game. MI’s bowling has looked in all sorts, and they’re not really playing as a team with a lot of loopholes. 

Titans, on the other hand, have an in-form bowling unit, and their top 3 are in good form as well. 

Gujarat Titans to win.
