Suryakumar Yadav vs Rashid Khan:

Rashid and Surya are two of the smartest cricketing brains in T20 cricket that are about to square off. For his part, Rashid will be looking forward to trapping Surya with all his variations and tricks up his sleeve.

Hardik Pandya vs Prasidh Krishna:

Pandya is dangerous regardless of the style of play. Pandya has the power and mental strength to take control of a match and finish it off with ease. Krishna’s form in the new ball is very important as we know how dangerous Pandya can be.

GT vs MI: Team News and X-Factors

Gujarat Titans

The absence of Jos Buttler could impact GT’s top-order firepower.
GT relies heavily on their bowling trio of Rashid, Prasidh, and Siraj.

Mumbai Indians

MI’s strength lies in their experience, especially in pressure situations.
The trio of Bumrah, Boult, and Chahar can dominate under overcast conditions.

GT vs MI Winner Prediction Today

Given the conditions, the surface, and pressure of the Eliminator, the Mumbai Indians could have an edge. Their core group is full of experienced campaigners in Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah that are used to handling the pressure of big matches.

On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans have the momentum, are better head-to-head, but without the depth of their middle-order batting and the absence of Buttler may swing the game in MI’s favour.
