MI Emirates have won the toss and have opted to field

17:30 Local Time, 13:30 GMT, 19:00 IST: Hello and welcome to game 26 of the ILT20. It is MIE taking on GG. The latter is at the bottom of the table and the former is number 2 on the table. But the gap between them is a mere couple of points. This is the business end of the tournament and every result will ensure there are massive shifts on the table. No team can afford to relax. Every team wants those two points on offer with an eye on the run rate. MIE handed a shellacking to table toppers Vipers in their last game winning it by 154 runs. And the Giants lost to Vipers in their last game. Both teams need a win today though! Toss and sheets in a while from now.
