In their chase, Gujarat Titans lost Sai Sudharsan early for 5 runs, caught behind off Trent Boult. Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler then steadied the innings with a 77-run partnership.
The match dynamics shifted during two crucial overs. Hardik Pandya's over included two no-balls and three wides, while Will Jacks' over saw Sherfane Rutherford score 15 runs with two boundaries.
A brief rain interruption worked in Gujarat Titans' favor as they were ahead on the DLS method at that point, thanks to Rutherford's aggressive batting.
Jasprit Bumrah brought Mumbai Indians back into contention by dismissing Gill for 43 off 46 balls. Gill's innings included three fours and one six before he was bowled by a delivery that nipped back sharply.
The match remained intense as Trent Boult removed Rutherford through an LBW decision, which was confirmed after a review. Bumrah then dismissed Shahrukh Khan, while Ashwani Kumar trapped Rashid Khan LBW.
Another rain interruption occurred with Gujarat Titans needing 24 runs from 12 balls at 132/6. At this point, they were trailing the DLS par score of 137 by four runs.
