Last Meeting Between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians
In the most recent encounter between GT and MI during match number 5 of IPL 2024 in Ahmedabad, GT emerged victorious, securing a six-run win over the five-time title holders MI.

Batting first, the Gujarat Titans posted a competitive total of 168/6 in their allotted 20 overs.
In response, MI’s Rohit Sharma and Dewald Brevis contributed 43 and 46 runs respectively.
