MATCH PREVIEW     

It is one of the most awaited games in the Indian Premier League 2025. The Mumbai Indians will look to make it to the top of the points table as they take on the Gujarat Titans in the 56th game. Both teams are in excellent form, which will be a game of supremacy. The Mumbai Indians defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last game by a big margin. They have been in excellent form in their home games, which will make them confident. The Gujarat Titans defeated the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game and are third on the points table. However, the team’s bowling attack has suffered a hit with injuries and exits. It will be interesting to see if the Titans can take on the Mumbai Indians with this bowling attack.  

Mumbai Indians Preview     

Hardik Pandya and his men continue marching with full steam in this tournament. The team made a poor start but has won the last six games. They demolished the Rajasthan Royals in a one-sided game, winning it by 100 runs. These wins have improved their odds on cricket betting sites. The Mumbai Indians have won four out of five games at home this season, and Pandya would look for another win to qualify for the playoffs.  

Rohit Sharma is back in form, which is great news for the team. He will look to deliver a strong start with Ryan Rickelton. Suryakumar Yadav is doing what he does best at No. 3, and the team expects him to build partnerships in the middle order with Tilak Varma and Will Jacks. The team has good hitters in the lower middle order, and they will expect runs from Pandya and Naman Dhir.  

Trent Boult struggled with his line and length in the last game and must strike early with Deepak Chahar. Jasprit Bumrah adds an X-factor to this bowling attack, and he will look to keep the scoring under check in the middle overs with Corbin Bosch. Hardik Pandya and Karn Sharma add depth to this bowling attack and look to deliver the goods in the supporting role.  

Expected Starting XI for Mumbai Indians     

Hardik Pandya (c), Ryan Rickelton (wk), Will Jacks, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Corbin Bosch, Naman Dhir, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Karn Sharma (Impact Player)  

Gujarat Titans Preview     

Shubman Gill’s team defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 38 runs in the last game. The side has batted brilliantly this season but has struggled with the ball. Injuries and the sudden exit of Kagiso Rabada have hit the bowling attack. Their odds have come down on cricket betting apps. Gill will know Mumbai’s batting strengths and expects a strong show from his bowling attack.  

Sai Sudharsan is the second-highest run-scorer this season, and the team expects him to deliver an electrifying start with Shubman Gill. Jos Buttler has demolished bowling attacks this year, and he must add runs with Shahrukh Khan and Washington Sundar. Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan will look to do the big-hitting in the lower middle order.    

Mohammad Siraj hasn’t been at his best and must take more responsibility as he opens the bowling with Gerald Coetzee. Rashid Khan’s inconsistency creates problems for the team, and he will look to do well in the middle overs with Prasidh Krishna. Jayant Yadav, Sundar, and Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore must bowl in the right areas, as the Mumbai Indians have good hitters.    

Expected Starting XI for Gujarat Titans     

Shubman Gill (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Sai Sudharsan, Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Gerald Coetzee, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Jayant Yadav (Impact Player)  

TOSS: To Bowl First      

We have seen two high-scoring games at this venue, and setting up a winning total is a big challenge here as the pitch stays good even in the second innings. The captains would have this in their mind at the toss, and the team winning will likely opt for bowling first in this game.     

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

The skies over Mumbai will be clear, and like the previous games, we expect this one to be a high-scoring one. There isn't much for the bowlers on this surface. The ball comes to the bat with an even bounce and pace. The side batting first in this game would aim for 200 runs to feel confident.    

OUR PREDICTION      

The Gujarat Titans have a power-packed batting lineup, but the bowling attack has looked equally weak this year. The side must get its acts right with the ball up against a strong batting lineup. The Mumbai Indians have won six consecutive games, and they have a bowling attack that shows they know the conditions well. It will be a close game, but the Mumbai Indians have a slight edge.  

Our prediction is for Mumbai Indians to win
