Check out all the latest changes on the IPL 2023 points table after GT defeated MI by 55 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday
Mumbai Indians have failed to address their death-overs struggle as for the second time in a row, they leaked plenty of runs during the phase allowing Gujarat Titans to post a huge 207/6 in 20 overs. And as it turned out, the target proved well beyond their reach as the visitors finished with 152/9 to succumb to a second defeat in a row – their fourth of IPL 2023.

To blame MI completely for the defeat would be a disservice to GT’s all-round show. Their opener Shubman Gill set the base with a superb half-century and then the finishers came out all guns blazing. GT scored 104 runs in their last seven overs.
MI were never in the chase after losing captain Rohit Sharma cheaply and in fact were in danger of being bowled out for a low score. Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad had reduced them to 59/5 before Nehal Wadhera (40 off 21), Suryakumar Yadav (23 off 12) and Piyush Chawla (18 off 12) ensured it won’t be the case.
