Match 36 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 sees Gujarat Titans (GT) host Mumbai Indians (MI) in Ahmedabad.
Five teams are currently on eight points and if the five-time IPL champions win today, they'll become the sixth side.
However, if the defending champions prevail, they will join CSK at the top of the table.
Head to head: The two sides have faced each other only once, and GT could not pull off a run-chase with nine needed off the final over.
Gujarat win by 55 runs.
MI's biggest defeat since 2017 in terms of run margin.
Tendulkar tries to heave it leg side but he ends up sending it out to long-on.
Arjun Tendulkar c Joshua Little b Mohit Sharma 13(9) [6s-1]
Wadhera shuffled in to scoop it away but due to the lack of pace got no timing.
Nehal Wadhera c Shami b Mohit Sharma 40(21) [4s-3 6s-3]
Slower delivery outside off is left alone thinking it may be called wide.
However, no one knows why the non-striker Chawla started running.
Saha had made a clean gather and threw the ball towards Mohit who was alone at the non-strikes end.
Chawla run out (Saha/Mohit Sharma) 18(12) [4s-1 6s-1]
No fireworks by SKY today!!
It was flat and spun away from middle and Suryakumar hit the ball back to Noor Ahmad.
Suryakumar Yadav c and b Noor Ahmad 23(12) [4s-3 6s-1]
It was a low full toss and Tim David went for the big shot.
But it comes off the bottom half on his bat and gets more elevation than distance.
Manohar from deep mid-wicket shuffles to his left to complete a nice catch.
Tim David c Abhinav Manohar b Noor Ahmad 0(2)
Cameron Green did not get in line but went for a wild slog towards the leg side.
He, however, missed it and Noor Ahmad took down the leg stump.
Green b Noor Ahmad 33(26) [6s-3]
Tilak Varma played for the googly but was beaten on the inside edge.
Given not out initially, but Gujarat take a review and the southpaw walks back.
Tilak Varma lbw b Rashid Khan 2(3)
A really sketchy innings from Ishan Kishan comes to an end!
Kishan rocks back and throws the kitchen sink on the slog.
He miscues it horribly as the ball goes high in the air and Little from long-on runs in to complete a fine catch.
Ishan Kishan c Joshua Little b Rashid Khan 13(21) [4s-1]
Another quick delivery from Hardik and he hits the deck hard and gets it to straighten.

The ball goes straight up and Hardik makes no mistake.

No fifty for Miller!
But he has done a superb job and helped take the total past 200.
Miller c Suryakumar Yadav b Behrendorff 46(22) [4s-2 6s-4]
Manohar is gutted as he bends down and stands still. He is given pats by Miller on the head.

Another one caught in the deep!

Shubman Gill's third fifty of the season!

Hardik Pandya decides to take him on but the GT captain failed to get the necessary elevation.
SKY, at long-off, jumps and calmly takes an overhead catch.
Hardik Pandya c Suryakumar Yadav b Chawla 13(14) [4s-1]
Saha has been strangled down leg and he has a chat with Shubman Gill and signals 'T' very late.
In fact, the timer was up yet the decision was taken!
There's a spike on UltraEdge. Little bit of glove on it.
Saha c Ishan Kishan b Arjun Tendulkar 4(7)
