Live Report - GT bowling restricts MI to 155 for 8

Good on the umpires to continue through the rain even when it happened during the third and now during the sixth over. GT are 29 for 1 after six, which leaves them 11 short of the par score. So if it continues raining and we don't get any more play, MI win.

And MI have called for the timeout the moment it becomes available.

Not that there was any threat because the rain has blown over, but we now will have a result either way. GT have been a little cagey, and MI have been on the offensive. Bumrah and Boult have bowled two each, and Gill has been careful not take any risks.

It has been raining for more than an over, but there is also a heavy wind to go with. The umpires have kept the players on, and batting hasn't been the easiest with the ball seaming around. Will the ball going into the damp outfield kill the moovement?

The five-over par score for the loss of one wicket is 34.

There has been appreciable seam movement on offer tonight. Mohammed Siraj and Arshad Khan enjoyed it in the first innings, and Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult are doing so now. Boult beats the Sai Sudharsan outside edge first ball, and then takes the edged second ball.

GT might have the weather the storm a little.

Corbin Bosch hits two sixes off Prasidh Krishna before being run out, and Deepak Chahar managed a four last ball to take MI to 155 for 8. The last 9.3 overs got them 6 for 58 despite that 18-run final over.

Rashid Khan is coming off a spell of 3-0-50-0, his worst economy rate in a single innings in a T20 match. And he has chipped in with 4-0-21-1, somewhere close to his best in bowling. The lengths were perfect, there was some fizz, and turn each way. He has had one good match before: 4-0-25-2 against KKR. GT will hope this turns it around for Rashid: three overs just outside the powerplay and one at the death, and the wicket of Will Jacks. n

Wicket No. 20 for Prasidh Krishna this year as he makes a comeback from his 16-run first over. Just one off his second over, and then Naman Dhir charges him, Krishna digs it in, and an easy catch follows at mid-off.

Mumbai Indians are now falling apart. Gerald Coetzee comes on to bowl for the first time, serves good gas and hard lengths. Tilak Varma finally tries to go over mid-off, but ends up hitting straight to the man. Shubman Gill takes it overhead. They have lost 4 for 16 in the last 3.2 overs.

R Sai Kishore has not bowled a lot of overs because of unfavourable match-ups, but GT have always backed him. Now against a right-hand-heavy line-up, he has bowled all four in one go. Suryakumar Yadav hit him inside-out in hisn first over, but Shubman Gill stuck with Kishore, who displayed his guile. He got Surya on the inside-out shot and Hardik Pandya on the slog-sweep. He ends the night on 14 wickets this IPL. Only seven bowlers have taken more. Only Josh Hazlewood has taken more wickets than him at a better strike-rate than his 12.6.

They invited Hardik Pandya to the wicket with a slip and a short leg for Rashid Khan. Then Sai Kishore gives Tilak Varma the single to bring the slip in for Hardik. Sai's control of length is impeccable. Hardik defends one, but then has a go. He is nowhere near the pitch of the ball, which Sai has turned hard, and the top edge on the slog-sweep is taken smartly by first slip running back.

Will jacks is not picking Rashid Khan out of the hand, has been beaten often, but has burnt another review for Rashid in his third over. Eventually, though, he sweeps hard on length and sends it straight to deep square leg. B Sai Sudharsan takes the catch; he is 2-1 on catches now. Five false shots in nine balls bowled to Jacks. The fifth finally gets hom for 53 off 35.

Sai Kkishore dropped Suryakumar Yadav on 10, has been inside-outed by him later, has seen Surya get to 35 off 23, but he beats him in the air from over the wicket, following him even as Surya makes room. No power, and caught at long-off. GT finally hold on.

This is Will Jacks' first fifty for MI. Comes up in just 29 balls. And brought up in style by skipping down the track, making room to Sai Kishore's over-the-wicket angle, and lofting him over long-off. Dropped twice, but he will take them all.

Two big lbw shouts against both the batters in the 10th over, both given not-out, both reviewed, and both tantalisingly close. Will Jacks is saved by the umpire's call on bounce. Surya's ball is bouncing over, which ends up costing GT the review.

Last four overs, all bowled by spin: 33 for 0.

Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan have bowled an over each outside the powerplay, but Suryakumar Yadav has taken 10 each off each of them. Sai he hit over extra cover, and Rashid he swept.

Will jacks has been given another life. It is that kind of a night. A straightforward push to Mohammed Siraj at the edge of the circle and midwicket, and he lets it slip through. All three bowlers have catches dropped off them now. Jacks on nought and 29, Surya on 10.

An angry-looking Ashish Nehra calls a timeout.

Both the batters out in the middle have been dropped by catching men in front of the wicket. After Will Jacks was reprieved by Sai Suharsan, Sai Kishore has let slip a straightforward chance from Suryakumar Yadav. A flick straight to short midwicket, just over his head, but he lets it slip through. Also Prasidh Krishna's first over has been taken for 16.

The left-arm seam bug is back to bite Rohit Sharma. He had got the better of it last year, scoring 240 off 148 against them in 2024. This year he has now been dismissed three times for 66 off 44. Arshad Khan has swung and seamed the ball in both his overs today, and Rohit has scored only three off six off him. He has tried various shots over the leg side with no success, and then he premeditates an inside-out shot. Ends up lobbing it to mid-off.

The dropped catch is looking costly as Will Jacks has raced away to 16 off 10. He has used Mohammed Siraj's outswing to go over cover and mid-off. Rohit Sharma is 7 off 7, and he has tried two lap shots already.

Mohammed Siraj starts with a full inswinger to Ryan Rickleton, who clips it off the toes for a nice easy couple. The next ball pitches and nips way, drawing a shot away from the body, which he fails to keep down. Caught at short cover. However, this is not a wobble-seam ball. This is seam-up, which Siraj often uses for right-to-left swing. So perhaps Rickleton has been unlucky here. Perhaps Siraj has developed a seam-up delivery that can seam either way instead of swinging.

Two balls later, Siraj draws a loose drive on a outswinging half-volley to Will jacks, but B Sai Sudharsan has dropped it at short cover.

Gujarat Titans won the toss at Wankhede Stadium, and decided to do what teams do there: field first. No total is safe at Wankhede, given a true pitch, small boundaries and dew later in the night.

GT made one change to their team, bringing in left-arm quick Arshad Khan ahead of spinner-allrounder Washington Sundar. That tells you all you need to know about the conditions: little help for spin. Once again, GT were playing Rashid Khan at No. 7, which presents an opportunity for the opposition that can take early wickets. Sgubman Gill said they wanted to give Kagiso Rabada a couple more nets sessions before they draft him back into the XI.

Mumbai Indians remained unchanged, which meant Corbin Bosch continued to play against Mitchell Santner, whom he originally replaced thanks to a niggle. Santner was not on the list of possible Impact Players so it is possible he hasn't yet fully recovered.

Both teams were at 14 points and within a shot of the top position. GT had a game in hand. This game was crucial for both the sides with an eye on the top-two finish, which can guarantee you two matches in the playoffs.

We have a bias on the boundaries: 66m to 61m. This pitch os not fresh. This is the third match being played on it. The RCB-MI match featured huge runs. Then against CSK it lowered a little. Matthew Hayden says the pitch is good, and should offer 200 runs. He also talks about the possibility of some rain later.
