After this victory of GT, there was a flood of memes on social media.
In the fifth match of IPL 2024, Gujarat Titans defeated Mumbai Indians by 6 runs. Batting first, Gujarat set a target of 169 runs for Mumbai. In response, the team led by Hardik Pandya could score only 162 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs. With this, Mumbai’s losing streak in the first match of the season continues since 2013.
Mumbai restricted Gujarat to 168 runs
After losing the toss and opting to bat first, Gujarat Titans scored 168 runs on the board in the stipulated 20 overs. Sai Sudarshan scored the most runs for the team. He scored 45 runs in 39 balls with the help of 3 fours and one six. Apart from this, Shubman Gill scored 31 runs. Rahul Tewatia contributed 22 runs in the lower order.
Jasprit Bumrah bowled amazingly for Mumbai Indians. He gave only 14 runs in his four over spell and took 3 important wickets. Gerald Coetzee also bowled economically and took two wickets. While Piyush Chawal got one wicket.
Poor start for MI while chasing the target
Mumbai Indians, who came to chase the target of 169 runs, had a very bad start and in the very first over, Ishan Kishan became the victim of Azmatullah Umarzai without opening the account. After this, Naman Dhir scored runs quickly and scored 20 runs in 10 balls with the help of 3 fours and 1 six, but in the third over, Azmatullah Omarzai also dismissed Naman.
Mumbai was in trouble after losing two wickets at the score of 30, but Rohit Sharma pulled the team out of trouble by making a half-century partnership with impact player Dewald Brevis. However, both the batsmen failed to complete their respective half-centuries. Sai Kishore trapped Rohit Sharma LBW in the 13th over. He scored 43 runs with the help of 7 fours and one six. Whereas Dewald Brevis played an inning of 46 runs, which included two fours and three sixes.
Wickets lost at regular intervals in the last overs
Mumbai lost wickets at regular intervals under the pressure of increasing run rate in the last overs, as a result of which Mumbai Indians team could score only 162 runs in 20 overs and lost the match by 6 runs. For Gujarat, Umarzai, Umesh Yadav, Spencer Johnson and Mohit Sharma took 2 wickets each.
