Tonight at the venerable Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, the Mumbai Indians (MI) square off against Gujarat Titans (GT) in a top-table clash of IPL 2025. This is the 18th Indian Premier League, and GT skipper Shubman Gill has won the toss and chosen to bowl first against the in-form home team.
Riding a surge of momentum, MI arrives into this collision having earned six consecutive wins—three when setting a target and three while chasing. Currently ranking third on the points system, the five-time IPL champions have turned around quite remarkably this season. MI is squarely in the fight to wrap their five-year waiting for another IPL trophy, with eyes set on a top-two finish.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans have also shown promise this season and are regarded as major candidates for a second IPL trophy. GT just achieved a strong 38-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad under Shubman Gill’s direction. Thanks to exceptional performance by Sai Sudharsan and Prasidh Krishna, GT secured a comfortable 36-run triumph when these two sides last played in Ahmedabad.
Pitch Report for MI vs GT, IPL 2025 Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
The pitch report from Mumbai by Matthew Hayden shows that tonight pitch number eight will be utilised. While it’s 74m straight down the ground, the square limits run 66m and 61m. This surface has previously seen three games. Although some showers are expected, the groundsmen have done a fantastic job of ready the pitch. While the CSK game had scores around the 170 mark, the last match here versus RCB was a high-scoring battle. Hayden expects this to be a 200-plus wicket, but given rain is expected, the captain winning the toss is probably going to choose bowling first.
Last Match at Wankhede Stadium
Triumphing by a decisive 54-run margin, MI faced off against LSG in the most recent game at Wankhede and guaranteed their fifth consecutive seasonal win.
