Mumbai Indians defeated Gujarat Titans by 27 runs in the 57th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium. Yet again, the five-time champions smashed 200+ runs posting 218 runs for the loss of five wickets in their 20 overs thanks to a stunning ton from Suryakumar Yadav. In response, the Titans were never in the chase and it was only due to Rashid Khan's enterprising knock that they managed to reach 191 runs in their 20 overs and lose by 27 runs.
