Ashwani Kumar broke a 72-run stand between Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler to peg back Gujarat Titans in their chase of 156 against Mumbai Indians in Mumbai on Tuesday.
Buttler was caught behind by wicket-keeper Ryan Rickelton for 30 off 27 balls.
Earlier, Trent Boult struck in the second over, inflicting a rare failure on Sai Sudharsan who was caught behind by keeper Ryan Rickelton for five, leaving GT at 6/1.
In the first half of the game, Gujarat Titans restricted Mumbai Indians to a modest 155/8.
After being put in to bat, Mumbai suffered two early blows as openers Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma failed to unduly trouble the scorers.
Rickelton was dismissed by Mohammed Siraj off the second ball of the innings for two, while Rohit fell to Arshad Khan for seven.
Will Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav then added 71 for the third wicket in quick time.
Sai Kishore got the breakthrough, having SKY caught by Shahrukh Khan on the long-off boundary for 35 in 24 balls.
Soon afterwards, Jacks, who top-scored with 53 off 35 balls, was caught on the backward square leg fence by Sai Sudharsan off Rashid Khan.
Sai Kishore then got his second wicket as Hardik Pandya fell for a solitary run, leaving MI at 106/5 in the 13th over.
The MI skipper tried to heave one over midwicket, but only got a top-edge that was well taken by his opposite number Shubman Gill.
Corbin Bosch made some useful runs to lift MI to the 150-mark before he was run out for 27 in the final over.
Gujarat Titans won the toss and opted to bowl first against Mumbai Indians. Kagiso Rabada will not be playing for GT after returning from a ban for taking a recreational drug.
The highly anticipated clash between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans—currently occupying the 3rd and 4th spots on the points table with 14 points each—is set to take place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Mumbai Indians are on a six-match winning streak, thanks to the return of Jasprit Bumrah, which has strengthened their pace attack. Trent Boult is in great form, eager to bowl at Wankhede. Rohit Sharma has regained form with three fifties in four matches, while Suryakumar Yadav is competing for the orange cap.
Gujarat Titans come into this match after a dominant win over SRH, bouncing back strongly from a heavy loss to RR. Their bowlers regained form, and the top three batters continue their exceptional run. With Kagiso Rabada returning from suspension, a selection dilemma looms, as Gerald Coetzee impressed in the last game.
