MATCH PREVIEW
It is the Eliminator in the Indian Premier League 2025. The Gujarat Titans will be up against the Mumbai Indians as the two teams look to take their campaign forward. The Titans lost to the Chennai Super Kings in the last game, and the team will be a bit low on confidence after back-to-back losses in their last two games. The Mumbai Indians also lost to the Punjab Kings in their last game, but the team has an excellent record in the playoffs and start the game with higher odds. They have the right bowling attack for these conditions. It will be the end of the campaign for the team to lose this game, and we expect them to fight hard in the middle.
Gujarat Titans Preview
From sitting at the top of the points table to playing the Eliminator, Shubman Gill's team has seen a dip in form, losing the last two games. They went down by 83 runs in their last league game against the Chennai Super Kings. These losses have pushed them behind on cricket betting apps. The side will look to make a strong comeback in this game, and they expect a good show from the bowling attack.
Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill have made over 1300 runs this season, and the team expects them to put up a big opening wicket stand. Jos Buttler won’t play this game, and Kusal Mendis has big shoes to fill. He must add runs in the middle order with Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford. Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan add depth to the batting lineup, and they will look to take on the bowlers in the final overs.
On the bowling front, the team is up for a big challenge in this game. Mohammed Siraj and Arshad Khan failed to tick the boxes with the new ball against Chennai, and the team needs a good show from them. Prasidh Krishna has done well and will need support from Rashid Khan in the middle overs. The team needs a good show from Gerald Coetzee, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, and Shahrukh Khan.
Expected Starting XI for Gujarat Titans
Shubman Gill (c), Kusal Mendis (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, Gerald Coetzee, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Sai Sudharsan (Impact Player)
Mumbai Indians Preview
Hardik Pandya and his men suffered a 7-wicket loss against the Punjab Kings in their last league game. The team, which has won five titles in the past, has an excellent record whenever they make it to the playoffs. Thanks to the team's strong bowling attack, the odds are in their favor on cricket betting sites. Pandya would look for a clinical show from his players, having lost to the Titans twice this season.
Ryan Rickelton isn’t available for this game, and the onus will be on Rohit Sharma and Jonny Bairstow to deliver a strong start. Suryakumar Yadav has picked form at the right time and will look to add runs in the middle order with Tilak Varma and Charith Asalanka. The team will expect quick runs in the lower middle order from Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, and Mitchell Santner.
Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar leaked runs in the last game. The team needs better spells from them with the new ball and early breakthroughs. Jasprit Bumrah is troubling the batters and is the X-factor in the attack. He will look to do well in the middle overs with Mitchell Santner. The team will expect a good show from Ashwani Kumar and Pandya in the supporting roles.

TOSS: To Bat First
The team chasing the score in the five league games has lost four games. The track favors sides that bat first, as the conditions favor the spinners in the second half. Both the teams shall have this on their minds at the toss, and the side winning it shall look to bat first.
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
We expect a warm and humid evening in Chandigarh. We expect a good batting surface for the game, where the ball will come onto the bat nicely. Spinners will enjoy bowling on this surface, where the ball grips the surface. It is a high-pressure contest, and the team batting first will like 200 runs on the board.
OUR PREDICTION
The Gujarat Titans will face the heat in this game. Back-to-back losses have hurt their confidence, and the team is up against one of the strongest batting lineups. Their bowlers hold the key to success and must execute the plans flawlessly. The Mumbai Indians have a strong batting lineup and variety in the bowling attack. We expect a close contest, but the Mumbai Indians will be the favorites, according to our cricket betting tips.
Our prediction is for Mumbai Indians to win
