Gujarat Titans vs. Mumbai Indians - IPL 2025: The clash between the two teams is expected to be close as both of them are equally determined to improve their standing in the IPL 2025. Gujarat Titans will be facing off with Mumbai Indians at Ahmedabad this Saturday. Mumbai Indians are coming off a defeat at the hands of Chennai Super Kings in their first match while Gujarat Titans lost their match against Punjab Kings in the previous weeks.
Gujarat Titans vs. Mumbai Indians - What can be expected?
Both titans will be relying heavily on the all around performance of their players to turn around their standings in the tournament. Both teams are expected to score high as the surface will allow batting.
Mudabi breaks loose and takes charge, he can be assured of backend support from GT's Kagiso Rabada.
Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians head-to-head records:
Considering the matchups MI has a strong chance to take the first set and would be favorites to win. In total they have faced each other 5 times where GT has bested them by winning 3 of those games.
The last time this venue was used, over 450 runs were scored in 40 overs, and so it is expected that yet another high deficit battle will take place. The team that employs more aggressive strategy will likely come out on top on the batting friendly surface.
Batsmen must be aware as the wicket will be two paced initially. And as the ball tends to turn on the dry surface, spinners will most likely relish the conditions in this game.
The team that bats first needs at least be wanting 200 runs as the average first innings scored is 170, though I must say it will depend on clear skies during a warm muggy evening which is to be expected in Ahmedabad.
Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians possible 11:
Probable XI for Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Sai Kishore, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.
Mumbai Indians probable XI: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Hardik Pandya (c), Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Vignesh Puthur.
