GT vs Mi Match Preview
Gujarat Titans gave a chance to finish in the top 2 of the IPL 2025 points table. However, former champions will be worried about their recent form. Shubman Gill and Sai reforms both failed in the fire and Jose Butler is departing for national duties, a large hole in GT’s delicate batting line-up. The top 3 of GT has 80% runs for the team, and they need answers from others. The form of Mohammad Siraj and Rashid Khan is also a matter of concern. Despite starting well, Siraj has fought late while Rashid is not able to take wickets. GT will trust Prasad Krishna and Garald Koetzi to come good.
Mumbai Indians made a great change in this season. However, no Ryan Recleton and Will Jack and Corbin Bosch have departed for national duties, Mi has been reduced. Johnny Bairstow will make his MI debut, but it remains to be seen that the MI will send the other two Voids to fill. Rohit Sharma’s playoff records will also be a concern. Mi’s records in eliminator also do not promote confidence. MI has lost three out of five eliminators.
Recent form
Gujarat Titans
GT had a strong league platform, scoring 18 points with nine wins in 14 matches, but his pace fought with two consecutive defeats- a loss of 83 runs to Chennai Super Kings and a 33-run defeat to Lucknow Super Giants. His top orders led by Shubman Gill (649 runs, AVG. 54.08) and Sai Sudarshan (504 runs) have been abundant, but their bowling has struggled, scoring 465 runs in the last two matches.
Mumbai Indians
With 16 points and eight wins in 14 matches, MI earned a strong delay, winning seven of his last nine matches. Despite the loss of seven wickets to Punjab Kings in his final league game, his batting, led by Suryakumar Yadav (640 runs, AVG 71.11), and bowling, remained by Jaspreet Bumrah (17 wickets in 10 matches). The absence of Ryan Recellton and Will Jack is a blow, but the incorporation of Johnny Bairstow increases the depth.
Mulanpur pitch report
Maharaja Yadvindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mulanpur offers a balanced surface, which is a slightly favorable batsman due to a quick outfield and decent bounce. However, the pitch has shown variability, indicating support for both seamers and spinners in recent sports.
In Qualifier 1, Punjab Kings were excluded for 101, which suggests an uneven bounce or catch for spinners, especially wrist spinners and off-spinners. The average first innings score is around 170, but 170+ score teams have a strong winning record. Paes bowlers have taken 62% wickets at an average of 21.4 on an average. Teams may prefer to bowl first due to potential dew in the evening, although establishing a total of 160–180 can be competitive if the pitch plays hard.
Chandigarh Weather Report
The weather in Mulanpur on May 30, 2025 is expected to be favorable for a full match. Accuweather is partly estimated the possibility of rainfall at a partially cloudy sky, temperature around 28–30 ° C and 0–1% rainfall with humidity at 43–54%. The cloud cover can be approximately 71%, but no significant disruption is estimated. If the rain intervenes and prevents at least five overs per side, GT, the higher in the league standing is finished, the qualifier will proceed to 2.

GT vs Mi Match prediction
This eliminator is a skirmish of two -well matching teams, but MI has a slight edge due to its playoff experience and balanced squad. GT, run by Gill and Sudarshan, has a recent batting form, a strength, but his bowling has been inconsistent, especially without Butler’s firepower.
MI’s batting led by Suryakumar Yadav and supported by Bairstow and Rohit Sharma is powerful, and his bowling, with Bumrah and Bault, is more reliable. Pitch’s variability can favor Mi’s versatile attack, especially if they bowl first, as dew may help chase. GT’s head-to dominance (5–2) gives them confidence, but the MI’s ability to perform in knockout landscapes suggests the scales.
Prediction: Mumbai Indians are in favor of winning the eliminator and advanceing for qualifier 2, with 60% win, assuming that they are compatible with the position of the pitch and take advantage of their bowling strength.
