Mumbai Indians registered their first win in the tournament, beating the Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets. Gujarat Lions have played one match so far which they won by five wickets against the Kings XI Punjab. The two teams will face each other on April 16 in what will be the 9th match of the Indian Premier League 2016. The match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and live action will begin at 8 PM local time.
With Lasith Malinga, Jasprit Bumrah, Mitchell McClenaghan and Tim Southee in their squad, MI have one of the best bowling attacks in this year's IPL. McClenaghan had the best figures of 2 for 25 in four overs against the KKR. The Kiwi fast bowler appears to be in rhythm and will be a good bet for Saturday's fixture. Rohit Sharma was instrumental in his team's victory as he played a captain's knock of an unbeaten 84 off 54 balls. Jos Buttler scored a quick-fire 41 to help his side go past KKR's 187. Although both these batsmen are the key in MI's batting, Sharma's match-winning performance puts him ahead of Buttler in terms of betting odds.
Led by Suresh Raina, the team will have huge expectations from their batting line-up which is boosted by the inclusion of power hitters in Aaron Finch, Brendon McCullum, Dwayne Bravo and the skipper himself. Though Raina is the highest run-scorer in the history of IPL, his lack of form in recent times makes Finch a better betting option. The opening batsman was the 'Man of the Match' in the game against KXIP for his brilliant 74-run innings. Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja and James Faulkner form the cream of their bowling attack. Bravo has been bowling consistently well of late and the West Indian allrounder is a worthy bet to grab the most wickets for GL on Saturday.
Gujarat Lions seem to be a strong side and are one of the dark horses in this IPL, especially after their easy victory over the KXIP. But defeating the two-time champions Mumbai Indians won't be an easy task for them. MI are back on track with a win in their second game and will be the favorites yet again when they take on the Gujarat Lions at the Wankhede.
