Resuming their innings from an overnight score of 291/6, Gujarat lost Chirag Gandhi in the first over of the morning session. Shardul Thakur bowled a probing line outside the off stump and induced an edge from Gandhi which was gobbled up by Suryakumar in the slip cordon. The rest of the lower-order failed to provide much of a resistance as Balwinder Sandhu and Thakur cleaned up the tail to bowl out Gujarat for 328 in the 13th over of the first session.

However, a 100-run lead in the first innings gave the Gujarat bowlers enough of a cushion to go after the Mumbai batsmen. The defending champions got off to a good start in their second innings with Prithvi Shaw threatening to score another big knock. He and Akhil Herwadkar produced a fifty-run partnership for the first wicket with the former doing most of the scoring.

With both their openers dismissed, Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav had to rebuild the Mumbai innings. The duo produced a 127-run partnership for the third wicket before Gaja struck once again in the final session. Iyer chased a delivery outside the off stump and was fooled by the seam movement generated by the pacer, leading to an outside edge to Parthiv Patel.
