It is already known that Royal Challengers Bengaluru became the first team to qualify for the finals of the ongoing season of IPL. Their comprehensively beat Punjab to secure a place in the finals.
And today we have the crucial encounter between Mumbai, Indians and Gujarat Titans and this outcome could potentially decide the fate of the tournament.
In terms of strength on paper and championship experience, both Mumbai and Gujarat are stronger than Punjab and Bengaluru. Both Gujarat and Mumbai had won IPL titles at varying levels and are better equipped for the finals.
What needs to be noted here is that, Mumbai will have a real chance of going to win the tournament if they pass through the crucial eliminated game against Gujarat tonight.
If Mumbai can somehow emerge victorious in this against Gujarat, then it should not be a big deal for them to go after Punjab and Bengaluru in the next two games.
So the big hope for both Punjab and Bengaluru if they are to actually go through to the title winning experience, will be that Mumbai fumbles in the game against Gujarat. But if Mumbai somehow emerge victorious in this class, then it would be too hard for Punjab and Bengaluru to stop them.
So the potential fate of the ongoing season of IPL is going to be decided today based on the winner of the game between Mumbai and Gujarat.
