GT vs MI Match Prediction, IPL 2025 Eliminator: After 14 league matches, it has come down to a knock-out match. The winner of the Eliminator will get another shot at reaching the IPL final, while the loser will go home disappointed. In an all-or-nothing match, Gujarat Titans take on five-time champions Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator in Mullanpur. GT have got the better of MI twice in this IPL, and they will aim to make it three. For MI, who finished the league stage at 4th spot after a massive turnaround, must defy their previous records in the Eliminators to reach Qualifier 2.

Match: Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians, Eliminator, IPL 2025 Date: May 30, 2025 Time: 7:30 PM IST Venue: Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh Live Streaming: JioHotstar (app and website), Star Sports NetworkGT vs MI Match Preview
Gujarat Titans blew up the chance to finish in Top 2 of the IPL 2025 Points Table. However, the former champions will be worried about their recent form. With Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan both failing to fire and Jos Buttler departing for national duties, there is a big hole in GT’s fragile batting line-up. GT’s top 3 have 80% of the runs for the team, and they need answers from others. Mohd Siraj and Rashid Khan’s form is also a concern. Despite starting well, Siraj has struggled of late while Rashid has not been able to take wickets. GT will rely on Prasidh Krishna and Gerald Coetzee to come good.
Mumbai Indians staged a great turnaround this season. However, with no Ryan Rickleton and Will Jacks and Corbin Bosch departing for national duties, MI have been depleted. Jonny Bairstow will make his MI debut but it remains to be seen who MI will send up to fill in the other two voids. Rohit Sharma’s playoff records will also be a concern. MI’s records in the Eliminators also do not boost confidence. MI have lost three out of five Eliminators.
Recent Form
Gujarat Titans
GT had a strong league stage, securing 18 points with nine wins in 14 matches, but their momentum faltered with two consecutive defeats—an 83-run loss to Chennai Super Kings and a 33-run defeat to Lucknow Super Giants. Their top order, led by Shubman Gill (649 runs, avg. 54.08) and Sai Sudharsan (504 runs), has been prolific, but their bowling has struggled, conceding 465 runs in the last two games.
Mumbai Indians
MI, with 16 points and eight wins in 14 matches, made a strong late surge, winning seven of their last nine games. Despite a seven-wicket loss to Punjab Kings in their final league game, their batting, led by Suryakumar Yadav (640 runs, avg. 71.11), and bowling, spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah (17 wickets in 10 matches), remain formidable. The absence of Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks is a setback, but Jonny Bairstow’s inclusion adds depth.
Mullanpur Pitch Report
The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur offers a balanced surface, slightly favouring batters due to a quick outfield and decent bounce. However, the pitch has shown variability, with recent games indicating support for both seamers and spinners.
In Qualifier 1, Punjab Kings were bowled out for 101, suggesting potential for uneven bounce or grip for spinners, particularly wrist spinners and off-spinners. The average first innings score is around 170, but teams scoring 170+ have a strong winning record. Pace bowlers have taken 62% of wickets at an average of 21.4. Teams may prefer bowling first due to potential dew in the evening, though setting a total around 160-180 could be competitive if the pitch plays tricky.
Chandigarh Weather Report
The weather in Mullanpur on May 30, 2025, is expected to be favourable for a full match. AccuWeather forecasts a 0-1% chance of rain with partly cloudy skies, temperatures around 28-30°C, and humidity at 43-54%. Cloud cover may be around 71%, but no significant disruptions are anticipated. If rain does interfere and prevents a minimum of five overs per side, GT, having finished higher in the league standings, will advance to Qualifier 2.

This Eliminator is a clash of two well-matched teams, but MI hold a slight edge due to their playoff experience and balanced squad. GT’s recent batting form, driven by Gill and Sudharsan, is a strength, but their bowling has been inconsistent, particularly without Buttler’s firepower.
MI’s batting, led by Suryakumar Yadav and supported by Bairstow and Rohit Sharma, is potent, and their bowling, with Bumrah and Boult, is more reliable. The pitch’s variability could favor MI’s versatile attack, especially if they bowl first, as dew might aid chasing. GT’s head-to-head dominance (5-2) gives them confidence, but MI’s ability to perform in knockout scenarios tips the scales.
Prediction: Mumbai Indians are favoured to win the Eliminator and advance to Qualifier 2, with a 60% chance of victory, assuming they adapt to the pitch conditions and leverage their bowling strength.
