NEW DELHI: Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bowl first against Mumbai Indians in their IPL match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday.
Both GT and MI name an unchanged playing XI.
"We will bowl first. Looks like a good wicket, dew could have an effect, so chasing could be ideal. We realise the importance of every game, just need to stick to our plans and play good cricket. It's important to learn the lessons from your losses, rectify and don't repeat it. You do make mistakes in such a long tournament. God has been kind with our injuries. Same XI tonight," Hardik said after winning the toss.
"We would have done the same thing, we need to bat and bowl really well. Things are coming along nicely in the last few games. We understand where we stand at the moment, just focus on the game in hand. It's not been ideal in terms of injury management, but we'll have to deal with it and that's what the guys have done. We've spoken about not letting external factors affect us. We're playing with the same squad as the last game," MI skipper Rohit Sharma said at the toss.
