GT vs MI Match Prediction - May 06, 2022

This next IPL 2022 match is going to be played between two teams at the opposite ends of the spectrum. The Gujarat Titans, sitting right at the top of the standings, will be playing the Mumbai Indians, who are currently at the bottom of the barrel.

If you go just by what we have seen in IPL 2022, this match should be a no-contest. However, results don't always show how close the teams have been and how small things during the season can add up to major differences.

MI has finally ended its losing streak and won its first match while the Gujarat Titans lost the previous match they played. Surprisingly, all of the best IPL betting sites in India and around the world are offering identical odds for the Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians to win this match.

This shows that even the bookmakers are unable to pick a favorite in this match. Who should your money be on?

Match prediction and IPL betting tips for GT vs MI IPL 2022. The match is going to be played at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on the 6th of May 2022.

GT vs MI Team Previews

Gujarat Titans

The Gujarat Titans suffered only their second loss in the previous match against PBKS as captain Hardik Pandya made the slightly strange decision of choosing to bat first after winning the toss. Once again. GT struggled with its batting as Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya failed to get going.

These two are the mainstays of the GT batting lineup and for both of them to lose form at the same time should send alarm bells ringing. Wriddhiman Saha got the side off to a quick start but he is not someone you expect to get the big scores. He tends to throw away his wicket after getting set.

It was David Miller who was bailing the side out game after game with support from Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan. When these players failed, it was only Sai Sudharshan who managed to get the side to some sort of a defensible total.

In the end, though, GT was short by at least 30 runs. Despite GT winning most of its matches, we are a bit unsure about their batting and think another such batting performance may be in store. Maybe they could drop Alzarri Joseph and include another batsman to improve the balance of the side but that will put pressure on Pandya to bowl.

Lockie Ferguson, Rashid Khan, and Mohammad Shami are locked in the bowling lineup. However, we do think Pradeep Sangwan and Alzarri Joseph are in trouble of losing their spot quite quickly.

GT has won five matches in the last over including two of the very last ball. It just needs a little bit of luck to change and we could see GT rack up a few losses on the trot.

Gujarat Titans Playing 11

Mumbai Indians

MI finally played a lineup that seemed to be its strongest. They brought back Tim David in the side and he scored a crucial 20 from 9 deliveries to close out the match. With Kieron Pollard, Tim David, and Daniel Sams in the lineup, MI now has a batting lineup that is filled with power from top to bottom.

of course, we still have not seen the best of Rohit Sharma or Ishan Kishan at the top but they will have the freedom to play their shots. Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma in the middle are currently the backbone of this MI lineup.

We would pick between one of these two to be the top batsman for MI in this match.

MI's bowling has seemed particularly vulnerable in this series and we still think that problem has not been completely resolved. Its two spinners of choice, Hrithik Shokeen and Kumar Kartikeya, are strictly average. They could struggle if one of Hardik Pandya or David Miller or even Rahul Tewatia gets stuck into them.

The onus to pick up wickets has to fall on the fast bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah, Rilee Meredith, and Daniel Sams are all international players with a lot of experience. Bumrah has been economical but the wickets are not coming and so MI has struggled in that aspect as well.

Luckily for MI, it is coming up against a batting lineup that has its own struggles in terms of form and depth. We could see an improved performance from the MI bowlers.

GT vs MI Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is going to want to bowl first. The Brabourne Stadium is one of the highest-scoring grounds in IPL 2022 where defending a total seems to be a tough ask. 64% of the matches have been won by the team that has chased at Brabourne in IPL 2022.

Pitch and Conditions

There is no threat of rain and the dew also seems to be a bit lighter at the Brabourne Stadium than at other venues. This is going to be the second match on consecutive days, though, and so we could see spin play a bigger part than normal.

The average score batting first so far has been just over 174 and we think you could get something around that region or maybe a bit lower in this match.

GT vs MI Betting Tips

We are going to bet on the Mumbai Indians to win. Despite the results, we think MI has a strong batting lineup with players that are just starting to hit form. Also, they also seem to be picking their best playing eleven at this late stage in IPL 2022. We expect them to win a few more matches and cause a few upsets even if they don't make it to the playoffs themselves.

Bet on Mumbai Indians to win.

Ishan Kishan played very freely in the previous match and while he did not get a big score, that intent was back. We think this is how he plays at his best and his record as an opener was brilliant before his lean run. We are backing him to get some runs once more in this match and get on the run-scoring brigade.

This is a bit of risky bet since the Brabourne has averaged close to 174 runs per inning so far. however, looking at the batting form of both teams as well as the fact that is the second game in two days, we could see a lower scoring game than usual. We think Under 319.5 is the option to bet on in this match.

    Ishan Kishan (1.80)

    Visit

If Kishan spends even a bit of time at the crease, he will hit a six and help you win this bet. This is another one of those bets where we are hoping that the intent he has shown in the previous game continues. A top edge or a miscue over the boundary is all you need for 80% returns. Worth the risk!
