We are underway. Dorff to start off for MI. Another Gill special for GT?
The last time Hardik fumbled a chase with the bat, he came out all guns blazing in the game after. Today, it seems like he is back at No. 5 with Sai Sudharsan and Vijay Shankar possibly batting ahead of him, depending on the situation. #IPL2023

815 - No team has scored more runs in the Powerplays than @mipaltan in the ongoing @IPL season; indeed, they are the only team to have registered more than 800 runs in such phase of the game (815). Charge.#GTvMI #TATAIPL #IPL2023 #IPLPlayOffs #Qualifier2
— OptaJeev (@OptaJeev) May 26, 20237.17 pm: The bowlers are marking their runups and all that. A big hug between Hardik and Pollard. Serious conversations between Hardik and Rohit. Plenty of familiarity.
7.13 pm: From a net bowler for Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore to the star of MI’s win over Lucknow Super Giants, Akash Madhwal is the newest star of IPL 2023. The Uttarakhand bowler notched figures of 5/5 as MI beat LSG by 81 runs to win the Eliminator on Wednesday at the MA Chidamabaram Stadium in Chennai.
IPL 2023, Eliminator: Akash Madhwal - ‘I’ve learnt how to bowl yorkers from tennis-ball cricket’.
7.01 pm: Looks like the rain has stopped and the players are out in the middle.
if a match - even a five-over shootout - isn't possible, a Super Over will decide the winner. Even if that isn't possible, the team that has finished higher on the table will qualify for the final. (In this case, Gujarat Titans). Super Over can begin as late as 12.50am
