GT vs MI: Match Prediction
Mumbai Indians had their first win of the season in the previous match against Rajasthan Royals. Still, they are at the bottom of the table due to their recurring failures in this season.

Though they were beaten by PBKS in the last game, they will surely make a comeback. GT will win tomorrow’s match.
