Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians are all set to face off at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur today in the only Eliminator match of IPL 2025. The stakes are high for both teams, with the winner advancing to face Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2, while the losing side will be knocked out of title contention for this season.
GT and MI have had contrasting campaigns this year. The Shubman Gill-led franchise started strong but lost momentum in the latter half of the season, suffering two back-to-back defeats. Meanwhile, the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians bounced back from a slow start, riding a winning streak that helped them finish with 16 points and secure 4th place on the points table.
