MI vs GT prediction
- Result prediction: GT to win
GT have been leading the way this season, sitting on top of the table with the league's best net run rate (NRR).
Their run totals have been inconsistent recently, but they have generally found ways to grind out results.
Despite their inferior record, MI have had a good run with the bat, notching totals of over 200 three times in their past four matches.
If they are at their best at the crease, there is no reason why they can't beat the league leaders. However, GT's squad depth and ability to close out tight encounters gives them the edge.
MI vs GT best bet
- Pick: Cameron Green over 19.5 runs
- Odds: 1.87 (Dafabet)
Whilst we're predicting GT to win this clash, it doesn't mean some MI batsmen won't shine.
Cameron Green has been a leading light for Mumbai in 2023, providing consistency as an opener or in the middle order.
The Australian is averaging 39.14 runs this campaign, and with his side's strong recent batting form, we expect him to play a major role on Friday night.
MI vs GT outside bet
- Pick: Shubman Gill to score 50 runs
- Odds: 2.86 (Dafabet)
To win big matches you need big performances, and Shubman Gill has provided those on multiple occasions this season.
He smashed 94 runs in his last match, taking his 2023 average up to an impressive 46.90.
The 23-year-old Indian has already scored four half-centuries this year, so what's stopping him from picking up another?
