Left-arm Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad (3/37) was the pick of the bowlers for GT.
Gujarat Titans have completely outplayed the Mumbai Indians here. It is a sorry-looking scorecard from the visitors. With the ball, they were battered in the death overs after starting well with the bat their chase never started. The leg-spinner duo of Gujarat Titans of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed broke the spine of Mumbai in the run-chase. After a loss Gujarat are looking well on track againwith back to wick wins. Mumbai on the other hand will be extremely disappointed with their performances. After winning three in a row now they have lost two in a row and seems like they have lost the momentum once again. This is also a hugh shot in their chest as their net run rate to will be massively effected.
