GT vs Mi Clash’s winner will face PBKS in Qualifier 2 on June 1.
The IPL 2025 playoffs continue to roll at New Chandigarh as Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in a high-octane Eliminator at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur on Friday, May 30. The winner of the GT vs MI clash will face PBKS in Qualifier 2 on June 1.
Gujarat Titans looked set for a top-two finish after dominating most of the league stage, winning 9 of 14 matches. But consecutive defeats late in the group phase pushed them down to third. Now, they must regroup quickly against an in-form Mumbai Indians side.
MI’s campaign began poorly, but the five-time champions rebounded strongly in the second half of the season. However, both teams will be without some key overseas players due to national duties. While GT will miss Jos Buttler, there will be no Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks for MI. Jonny Bairstow is certain to make his debut for MI.
