These teams have met seven times previously, with Mumbai winning five matches outright while three ended in draws. For Mumbai Indians, who currently sit fifth in standings and need to improve in order to qualify for playoffs.
Due to international commitments Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks and Corbin Bosch won’t be available; however they have managed to acquire replacement players such as Jonny Bairstow, Charith Asalanka and Richard Gleeson who should perform better this time round.
Mumbai Indians have won four IPL titles and are the only franchise to do so consecutively, winning over 150 matches and posting the second-best run-rate record in terms of run rate.
Their latest victory was celebrated with an elaborate celebration at Wankhede Stadium; Sachin Tendulkar and Kieron Pollard being given the privilege of lifting up the trophy at this special occasion.
After an inauspicious start to their season, Mumbai Indians quickly recovered their form and won eight out of ten league matches over time before losing three consecutive ones in the final league stage and qualifying for an Eliminator.
At Wankhede Stadium they defeated Kolkata Knight Riders with a last-ball win; Lasith Malinga and Munaf Patel earned Man of the Match awards due to their remarkable bowling performances and were named co-Man of the Matchs for their efforts.
Mumbai Indians made a number of changes at their auction for the 2024 season, trading Dinesh Karthik and Pragyan Ojha for Rohit Sharma who was replaced as captain by Hardik Pandya.
Additionally, South African explosive opener Richard Levi and West Indian all-rounder Kieron Pollard both have proven their worth this season.
Mumbai Indians needed to win by an impressive margin in order to surpass Rajasthan Royals and earn fourth spot on the table, yet were unable to do so – losing by 38 runs instead.
Mumbai Indians finished the league phase with six wins and six losses to qualify for the play-offs, defeating KKR in qualifying and Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2 to capture their sixth IPL championship. Mumbai relies heavily on Tendulkar, Duminy, Malinga and Suryakumar Yadav’s bowling as well as captain Rohit Sharma leading Ishant Sharma and Shubman Gill’s bating to dominate their opponents and keep runs from scoring.
MI vs GT – IPL 2025
This year, MI will play their home matches at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. They will face CSK to start off their season on 29 April before meeting RR on 1 May for their second matchup of 2019.
Both squads have seen several adjustments from last season – Hardik Pandya was banned due to his over-rate ban, so Suryakumar Yadav will replace him as captain while Sanju Samson has been dropped and Riyan Parag will now captain them respectively.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is an annual Twenty20 cricket tournament run by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Each franchise represents a city or region from across India; since 2008, its inaugural edition was hosted. Since then, it has grown immensely popular and become an enormous business venture attracting viewers from all around the globe.
At present, the tournament is hosted at eight venues nationwide with each team playing four home matches and two away matches across each of these eight venues.
After playing this round-robin style format of matches, four teams from each group qualify for playoffs where they will vie for a championship title – with the victor receiving a Purple Cap trophy and runners-up receiving Orange Caps respectively; furthermore, winning team will also receive a cash prize of Rs 10 crore!
Mumbai Indians made it back into the IPL playoffs for a sixth consecutive time in 2025, entering with gusto into New Chandigarh against Gujarat Titans and starting their campaign with an exhilarating high-scoring encounter against Rohit Sharma’s phenomenal 81 off 50 balls to post 228/5 against them. Unfortunately, however, they fell short of chasing down that target of 240 runs and fell by 20 runs to ultimately lose the match.
During the League Stage, they won six out of eight matches to finish fourth. Next up was defeating Rajasthan Royals in Eliminator to reach Qualifier 2, only to lose to Punjab Kings in final.
Unfortunately, their hopes of capturing sixth title ended here. Kieron Pollard was instrumental in leading Mumbai Indians to third place. He was recognized with awards such as Most Valuable Player and Player of the Tournament for his efforts.
Suryakumar Yadav placed second in the race for the Orange Cap with 717 runs scored, trailing only Sai Sudharsan of Gujarat Titans who amassed 735. Suryakumar was also named best batsman of the tournament and will look to improve upon their performance during IPL 2025 season, boasting notable players like Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard and Lasith Malinga whose expertise can guide their side to victory.
MI vs GT – Scorecard
MI and GT last met in 2023 q2, in what proved to be an extremely high scoring match where Gill scored an eye-catching 62 and was well supported by Sai Sudarshan and Kusal Mendis who both played some stunning strokes themselves.
But after losing Gill, GT lost all hope and were bowled out for just 240 with Rutherford taking 5 wickets within 2 overs to turn the tide in their favour – the key player proving instrumental.
MI ultimately emerged victorious and secured their fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) championship. Not only that, they also avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of GT, as they rose to the top of the IPL rankings.
Rain has arrived and this game may find it challenging to reach its climax. GT are currently trailing on their DLS Par Score and, should it continue raining, this match could end up decided by Super Over. In any case, for now it remains an intense contest between two very capable teams; we just have to sit tight and watch everything happen!
