Mumbai Indians may not have had the best of start to IPL 2023 but they now suddenly like one of the favourites to seal a spot in top 4.
Despite Rohit Sharma being horribly out of form, MI has won 3 of its last 4 games and are on the 3rd spot with 12 points.
The 5-time champions may be making huge strides at the right time but standing in their way is Gujarat Titans.
Hardik Pandya's men have won 5 of their last 6 games are the team to beat this season as well.
However, beating Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium won't be easy, as MI has won last 2 games at this venue.
TEAM NEWS
Jofra Archer flying back home has come as a blessing in disguise for MI as Chris Jordan has proved to be a perfect replacement.
Gujarat Titans' Josh Little has also joined the Ireland team and is playing the ODI series vs Bangladesh.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Both sides have won 1 and lost 1 game against each other in the IPL, with Gujarat winning the previous clash this season.
MUMBAI WEATHER FORECAST
The met department has predicted no rain in Mumbai on Friday. However, with the humidity levels at 72%, it would be challenging conditions to play cricket.
