Mumbai Indians, currently placed third on the points table, will have their task cut out against a potent Gujarat Titans side led by the young Shubman Gill when the two teams take the field at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday.

Boasting the best Net Run Rate in the competition, Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians need only two wins from their remaining three fixtures for a direct entry into the IPL 2025 playoffs. Adding to their advantage, two of these matches will be played at home, where MI have won four out of five games this season, a testament to their stronghold in familiar conditions.
