Catches win matches! But Gujarat Titans turned down the phrase! Survivors from both sides are the ones who walked out with a decent score. But yet, it was GT who utilized the opportunities and defeated Mumbai Indians by 3 wickets in the DLS method. Mumbai Indians posted a modest total of 155/8 in their 20 overs after being put to bat against Gujarat Titans. There were three dropped catches from GT, and the survival of Suryakumar Yadav and Will Jacks kept on adding runs. Well, after that, wickets kept falling regularly. Openers Ryan Rickelton (2 off 2) and Rohit Sharma (7 off 8) fell early, leaving MI at 26/2 by the fourth over. Will Jacks led the fightback with a fluent 53 off 35 balls, smashing 5 fours and 3 sixes at a strike rate of 151.42. He was well-supported by Suryakumar Yadav, who scored a brisk 35 off 24 balls before falling to Sai Kishore. However, the momentum was short-lived. Hardik Pandya (1 off 3), Tilak Varma (7 off 7), and Naman Dhir (7 off 10) failed to contribute meaningfully, causing MI to slump to 123/7. A late cameo from Corbin Bosch (27 off 22) and Deepak Chahar (8* off 8) helped Mumbai cross the 150-run mark. For Gujarat, Sai Kishore was the pick of the bowlers with 2/34 in 4 overs. Rashid Khan bowled economically, conceding only 21 and taking a key wicket. Arshad Khan, Siraj, Coetzee, and Prasidh Krishna chipped in with a wicket each, keeping Mumbai’s run rate at 7.75.

A back-of-the-length delivery walks out Sai Sudharshan for just 5. Following him, left Jos Buttler, the other man in form. He left right after Tilak Verma dropped a sitter off Shubman Gill. An under-edge from Buttler's bat, followed by a successful DRS call, ended his show with him contributing 30 runs off 27 balls. Rain has played a vital part, visiting at least thrice in the match. At a point, the Duckworth-Lewis System looked like the only inevitable option, with GT probably requiring just 9 more runs to win after the strong rain delay. And from there the match started changing. The rain stopped, covers came off, and Jasprit Bumrah executed his magic. A back of a length, pitching just outside off, slides inside and chips off the timber, waving off Shubman Gill of 43 runs. And then Boult, yet again, bagged Sherfane Rutherford (28) with a clean LBW. Shahrukh Khan, after a cheeky bat check, survived for just 6 runs, and then Bumrah cleared him as well. Well, the fans genuinely saw three phases of chases—the first phase when it was the Gujarat Titans dominating the Mumbai Indians. The second delay got the GT ship almost hitting the iceberg until the third rain delay came, when they had to chase just 15 runs in an over, having Deepak Chahar with the ball. The blunder Chahar did was to give a no ball right after conceding a boundary and six off Gerald Coetzee. The final runs came off Rahul Tewatia after Hardik had a brain fade moment, completely missing the stumps. Among the bowlers, Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah each took 2 wickets, while Deepak Chahar, Ashwani Kumar, and Will Jacks each claimed 1 wicket. Hardik Pandya and Karn Sharma went wicketless.
