Two red-hot contenders for a Top 2 finish in IPL 2025—Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT)—square off at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday, May 6, in what could be a defining contest of the league stage. Both sides are tied at 14 points, and with a better Net Run Rate (NRR) than RCB, a win here will take the victor to the top of the table.
GT outplayed MI in the first-leg clash in Ahmedabad, but much has changed since. Mumbai, languishing at the bottom early in the season, are now on a six-match winning streak, winning four out of five at home and roaring towards a Top 2 berth. In contrast, GT have kept themselves in the mix with timely wins, mostly powered by their dominant top 3.
