MI vs GT Match Prediction: Who will win today’s IPL match?

It’s race to the playoffs week with only 15 matches left in the IPL 2025 league stage. Mumbai Indians, with 6 consecutive wins, are now title favourites while former champion Gujarat Titans are looking solid. The winner of the match will go top of the IPL Points Table and join Royal Challengers Bengaluru with 16 points. GT have an advantage having played a match less. However, considering Mumbai’s dominant run at home, where they have lost just one out of five, Hardik Pandya & Co will be favourites.

MI vs GT Match Preview

MI, led by Hardik Pandya, have turned their season around after a slow start, emerging as one of the form teams in IPL 2025. With Jasprit Bumrah back in action, MI haven’t lost a match. Their balanced squad, featuring explosive batters and a lethal pace bowling attack, makes them a formidable force at home.

    GT, under Shubman Gill’s captaincy, have been clinical, with a strong top order and a versatile bowling unit. Having beaten MI earlier in the season in Ahmedabad, GT will look to replicate their success, while MI aim to leverage their home advantage and settle the score.

    Recent Form

    Mumbai Indians: MI are on a red-hot six-match winning streak, showcasing dominance in both batting and bowling. Their recent 100-run thrashing of Rajasthan Royals highlighted their depth, with Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav leading the batting, and Jasprit Bumrah spearheading the bowling. MI have won 4 out of 5 matches at Wankhede this season, making them favourites at home. Gujarat Titans: GT have been in solid touch, with a clinical 38-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last outing. Their top order, led by Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, has been consistent, while Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj have been effective with the ball. GT have won 3 of their last 5 matches, showing resilience despite occasional setbacks. Cricket 10 mins Gujarat Titans Qualification Scenarios: Shubman Gill’s team favourites to qualify

    Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report

    The Wankhede Stadium pitch is traditionally a batting paradise, offering good carry and bounce. The surface used for this match is the same as the one for recent high-scoring games, suggesting another run-fest. Spinners may find some grip in the second innings, and dew could make chasing easier. The average first-innings score is around 188, but scores above 200 are possible given the short boundaries and batting-friendly conditions. Teams winning the toss may prefer to bowl first due to the dew factor.

    Mumbai Weather Report

    On May 6, 2025, Mumbai is expected to have warm and humid conditions with cloudy skies. Temperatures will hover around 30–32°C with a slight breeze. There is a 40-60% chance of rain and thunderstorms at around 4 PM. While the match could have a delayed start, a full game is likely. The pitch may offer some assistance to pacers if covered due to unseasonal drizzle, but it should remain batter-friendly overall.

    MI vs GT Head-to-Head Records

    GT have dominated MI in Ahmedabad, winning all three encounters at Narendra Modi Stadium. However, MI’s home dominance at Wankhede could tilt the scales. The team batting first has won all five previous GT vs MI matches, making the toss crucial.

    Predicted Playing 11

    Mumbai Indians

    With no injuries, Mumbai Indians will retain the same XI that beat Rajasthan Royals by 100 runs. Mitchell Santner is also available for selection after recovering from a niggle. If Santner comes in, Corbin Bosch will be benched. Vignesh Puthur has been ruled out of IPL 2025.

    Ryan Rickelton (wk), Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah

    Impact Subs: Raj Bawa, Satyanarayana Raju, Robin Minz, Reece Topley, Karn Sharma

    Gujarat Titans

    The good news in the GT camp is that Kagiso Rabada, who returned home to serve a one-month suspension for doping violation, is back. He is available for selection should GT choose him over Gerald Coetzee. Both can play together, but for that, GT must bench either Mohd Siraj or Ishant Sharma.

    Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Gerald Coetzee/Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna

    Impact Subs: Ishant Sharma, Mahipal Lomror, Anuj Rawat, Arshad Khan, Sherfane Rutherford

    MI vs GT Match Prediction

    Mumbai Indians enter as slight favourites due to their six-match winning streak, home advantage at Wankhede, and a well-rounded squad. Their batting, led by Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, is in top form, and Jasprit Bumrah’s 11 wickets this season make their bowling attack lethal. GT, however, are no pushovers, with a strong top order and a bowling unit bolstered by Prasidh Krishna and Kagiso Rabada. GT’s historical edge in head-to-head encounters and their earlier win over MI this season add intrigue.

    The pitch and potential dew favour the team chasing, so the toss could be pivotal. If MI bat first, they could post a daunting total, but GT’s disciplined bowling might keep them in check. Conversely, if GT bat first, MI’s bowlers, particularly Bumrah, could exploit early conditions to restrict them.

    Prediction: Mumbai Indians have a 60% chance of winning, given their current form and Wankhede dominance. However, GT’s ability to upset MI in big matches makes this a close contest. Expect a high-scoring thriller, with MI likely to edge out GT by a narrow margin if they chase.
