Resurgent Mumbai Indians are likely to be tested to the hilt by defending champions Gujarat Titans in what will be a vital Indian Premier League encounter at Wankhede on Friday. For the first time this season, the five-time champions have looked promising as they rose to the third spot in the points table with a six-wicket thumping of Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday. Chasing 200 inside 17 overs, MI's innings showcased how successful their batting has been, even though for the second consecutive game they reshuffled the order in a bid to push their net run rate.

MI vs GT: A brief overview

Despite captain Rohit Sharma's prolonged lean patch with five single-digit scores on the trot, MI's batting has been nearly unstoppable at Wankhede as they successfully chased a target of 200 or above twice in three attempts. Even against Punjab Kings, MI replied with 201 for 6 while chasing 215.
