LSG vs MI Prediction Dream 11
Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians are coming into the match in contrasting forms. GT had a disappointing defeat in the hands of CSK, whereas MI thumped LSG in style. It will be a massive battle between the two Western franchises, as they aim to reach the Final.
If GT win, it will be their consecutive final in the first two seasons as an IPL team. On the other hand, a MI victory will ensure the two most successful franchises lock horns in the Final. It will also mean the bottom-placed teams of last season (MI -10th, CSK- 9th) facing the championship clash this season.
GT and MI do have a decent squad. MI, who got through to the playoffs with a stroke of luck, have been playing with vigour and looking like a dangerous team. But the Ahmedabad crowd will have full support for the home team and GT have a certain advantage in that.
Considering the current scenario, it is looking like the Titans will be joining CSK for the Final.

LSG vs MI Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has been a paradise for batters, with its flat track providing an even amount of bounce.
Although the pacers may be able to gain some swing in the early overs, the batters can expect a good time in the middle. The ground and its surroundings also help, with the boundaries being relatively short, and the outfield having a quick pace.
