MI innings of two halves

Last 10 overs: 66/6 (4 X 4s, 3 X 6s)

- First MI batter to be dismissed run out in IPL 2025

A strange first 20 overs at the Wankhede. A batter's paradise and you'd think 155 isn't even a par score, but there's a bit in it for the bowlers, both spinners and pacers, and the Mumbai Indians will feel they've something on the board to defend. Gujarat Titans though have all the momentum as we head to the break. They weren't at their best in the field as well - Will Jacks was dropped twice and Surya Kumar Yadav once, those are chances that any team can't afford to miss, but they kept fighting, they kept chipping away and rattled the hosts during the middle phase, reducing them from 97 for 2 to 113 for 6. It meant MI didn't get the launching pad going into the final few overs and they've left their bowlers with plenty to do. A half-century for Jacks, his 1st in IPL 2025 and a couple of double-digit contributions, but it was surrounded by a heap of single-digit scores. Rashid Khan reckons there's a bit in it for the spinners, but you'd back a team to chase down 155. Back for the chase shortly..

Rashid Khan: I have missed my lengths (earlier in this tournament), made sure to hit the right areas. You are not in your best rhythm during rehab (after 3-4 months of the surgery), it takes time to get back to your best. I am getting theres slowly, 75-80% there. I need to make sure that I get that surgery out of my mind. You need to hit the right areas as a spinner. The way Sai bowled his spell and took two wickets, it was good. We need to make sure whoever goes in to bat takes the responsibility of scoring those runs.

Chahar has dismissed Gill four times previously in T20s
