In the competition, GT won the competition and chose the bowl. The 71-shot stance between Will Jacks (53 out of 35 balls, 5 out of 35) and Suryakumar Yadav (35 out of 24 balls, 24 out of 5 quarters) is the highlight as the goal often drops, limiting the MI to 155/8 out of 20 points.
Sai Kishore (2/34) was the GT bowler, while Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan and Gerald Coetzee each took a wicket.
This run was a roller coaster ride for both teams. GT did lose Sai Sudharsan very early, but marked their comeback in the match with Captain Shubman Gill (43 out of 46, 3 quarters and 6 out of 27).
On the 14th GT 107/2, the GT advanced and rained according to the DLS method. After the break, Jasprit Bumrah (2/19) and Trent Boult (2/22) brought the MI back to the match, and at the start of another rainy day, the GT poured 132/6 in 18 matches. This time, GT fell behind.
When the game finally resumed, the revised target was 147 times and the remaining target was another one. Rahul Tewatia (11*) and Gerald Coetzee (12) completed the GT job single-handedly, winning three wickets in the last ball thriller.
GT ranked the highest with 8 wins, three losses and 16 points, while MI ranked fourth with 7 wins and 5 losses, giving them 14 points. Their six-game winning streak was finally broken.
