This is a knockout clash as the loser will be eliminated from the competition.

Both GT and MI could have confirmed a berth in the top two had they won their respective last games. However, Gujarat ended their league campaign with two losses, while Mumbai went down to PBKS by seven wickets in their last league game. As a result, both teams will now clash in the Eliminator.

Gujarat will be hoping that openers Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill deliver another big partnership. With no Jos Buttler, the others will need to lift their game. For Mumbai, Suryakumar Yadav will be hoping for better support from the other batters. Runs will be expected from Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya even as Tilak Varma's form remains a concern.
