As they entertain a nervy Mumbai Indians on the same strip on Saturday (May 21), they will be confident of putting up another clinical show to seal their passage into the playoffs.

With seven wins in 13 matches, Mumbai are currently placed fifth, tied on 14 points with Royal Challengers Bangalore (3rd) and Kolkata Knight Riders (4th) -- both having better net run-rate with one match to go.A loss will knock them out of the race for play-offs and Mumbai will hope to pull the rug from under the feet of the Lions this time after suffering a defeat during their home leg on April 16.Gujarat, on the other hand, are at the second spot with 16 points from 13 matches and a victory will seal their play-off berth.

A will can only keep both the team's play-off hopes alive.
