Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans preview
This match carries significant weight for both Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans. With 14 points each, they are placed third and fourth respectively on the points table, although Gujarat have played one fewer game.
The Titans have arguably one of the most consistent sides in the tournament. Although Shubman Gill's men got flattened by the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur, they bounced back well to methodically dismantle the SunRisers Hyderabad in Ahmedabad. The Titans' top three is their strongest component and will give headache to the Mumbai Indians.
Mumbai Indians began their IPL 2025 campaign with successive defeats, they are looking like the team to beat on current form. By dismantling the Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Mumbai Indians had registered their sixth victory on the bounce. They are high on confidence and it's hard to see them missing out on a playoff spot.
A win here would be a major boost, bringing the victor closer to a playoff berth and leapfrogging Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the standings. However, the losing side would find their path to a top-two finish more difficult, increasing the stakes for their remaining matches.
The Titans had previously defeated Mumbai by 33 runs earlier this season in Ahmedabad, and they will be looking to replicate that performance.
