Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans:
Mi vs GT Eliminator match IPL 2025 May 30 (Friday) at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh, Mullanpur.
Gujarat Titans have lost their last two matches, but the team has match-winning players like Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan and David Miller who can do wonders on any big occasion. Their record against Mumbai has also been excellent so far, so Titans will try to maintain this momentum and enter Qualifier 2.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians, led by Hardik Pandya, have made a strong comeback after a slow start to the season. The experience of big matches like the playoffs strengthens this team, and the team's confidence will also be at its peak in this important match. If players like Suryakumar Yadav, Jaspreet Bumrah and Tim David get into form, then it will be very difficult to stop Mumbai. The excitement in this match between the two teams will be at its peak and the audience will get to see a great match.
MI vs GT Eliminator Head-to-Head Record:
A total of 7 matches have been played between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans in IPL history so far. Out of these, Gujarat Titans have won 5 times, while Mumbai has been successful only 2 times. In such a situation, Gujarat has a psychological edge, but considering the current form of Mumbai, the match is expected to be very exciting.
Gujarat captain Sai Sudarshan has scored 669 runs so far this season and is in great form. He will face Jasprit Bumrah, who has taken 17 wickets in seven matches after returning from injury. At the same time, the tussle between Suryakumar Yadav and Mohammad Siraj in the last MI vs GT match can also make this match spicy. The most reliable batsman for Mumbai will be Tilak Verma, but he will have to be cautious of Trent Boult, who has taken 19 wickets in 14 matches.
Suryakumar vs Gill.
Two powerful batsmen are facing off in the Eliminator match - Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill. For Mumbai, Surya has proved to be the backbone of the team this season by scoring 640 runs at an average of 71.1 and a strike rate of 168, including 25+ scores in 14 consecutive innings. Against Gujarat, he has an average of 56.6 and a strike rate of 175. On the other hand, Shubman Gill is not far behind. In IPL 2025, he has scored 649 runs at an average of 54.08 and a strike rate of 156 and his performance against Mumbai has also been impressive - an average of 37.2 and a strike rate of 142. In the 2023 Qualifier-2, Gill played a historic innings of 129(60) against Mumbai, while in the same match, SKY also scored 61(38), but Mumbai had to face defeat.
Pitch Report.
The new PCA stadium in Mullanpur is expected to favour batsmen as it has short boundaries. However, scoring over 200 runs could be challenging as the average score in the first innings is 170. Fast bowlers could be effective in the initial overs, while spinners could play a key role if the pitch deteriorates.
GT vs MI Who will win today.
Both the teams are great. Even though Mumbai's performance was average in the beginning, later this team made a comeback and managed to reach the playoffs directly. On the other hand, Gujarat has shown a brilliant game throughout the season. Mumbai's chances of winning this match are 51%, while Gujarat's chances of winning are 49%. By the way, cricket is considered a game of uncertainties. In such a situation, whichever team plays well, that team can win.
Mumbai Indians had to face defeat in their last league match, so some changes are possible in the playing eleven today. Gujarat, on the other hand, is definitely shocked by the absence of Jos Buttler, but the team has shown strength throughout the season. In such a situation, whichever team handles today's pressure better, will win.
Captains' reputation at stake.
However, both Gill and Hardik have a lot to prove. If the Titans win the title, Gill, India's newly appointed Test captain, will be given a strong credibility as a captain.
Hardik has regained the love of the fans after facing booing on his return to the team last year and the IPL trophy will cement his place in the list of the franchise's greats. However, both captains will have to find solutions to the issues they face in their quest for the title.
Gujarat will defeat Mumbai.
Now if we look at this record, MI's path will not be easy in the eliminator match. If Mumbai has to overcome Gujarat under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, then it will have to perform something special. In the first match played in IPL 2025, Gujarat defeated Mumbai by 36 runs, while in one match Gujarat won by 3 wickets.
