Mumbai Indians defeated Gujarat Titans by 20 runs in a high-scoring contest at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on Friday, May 30. With the win, Mumbai secured a spot in Qualifier 2, where they will face Punjab Kings (PBKS), who had earlier lost Qualifier 1.
The Ahmedabad-based team suffered their third consecutive defeat in the tournament after losing to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). They were at the top of the standings for most of the season, but a string of losses pushed them into the Eliminator against the Mumbai Indians.
