IPL 2023 Updated points table, Orange cap & Purple cap after Match 57 between MI & GT

MI moved to the 3rd spot in the IPL 2023 points table after defeating table-toppers GT at Wakhede Stadium.

Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) clashed in the 57th match of the IPL 2023 being played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 12, 2023. GT are the table toppers in this tournament, while MI moved to the 3rd spot after back-to-back 200-plus chases.

Hardik Pandya, the GT captain, won the toss and decided to chase as no total is seemingly defendable on the Wankhede pitch off late. Both the teams came into this match unchanged.

MI had a flying start as openers Ishan Kishan (31 in 20) and Rohit Sharma (29 in 18) added 61 runs in 6 overs. However, GT vice-captain, Rashid Khan 4/30 came into the attack and removed Rohit, Ishan, and Nehal Wadhera in quick succession. 

Then Vishnu Vinod (30) added 65 runs with Suryakumar Yadav, who hammered on 103* in 49 balls with 11 fours and 6 sixes. His blitz took MI to a final total of 218/5 in 20 overs.

Rashid Khan (79*) did well with the bat in a losing cause for their team. Akash Madhwal picked three wickets for MI, as GT finished on 191/8 and lost by 27 runs.
