Wankhede is set to witness a blockbuster as two IPL 2025 playoff hopefuls — Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans — go head-to-head in a high-stakes clash on Tuesday, May 6 at 7:45 PM.
After a shaky start to the season with back-to-back losses, Mumbai Indians have completely flipped the script. Their demolition of Rajasthan Royals away from home made it six straight wins, and suddenly, they’re the form team in the league. Led by fearless performances and smart bowling rotations, MI look like title contenders again.
At the Wankhede — their fortress — expect them to come in buzzing with energy.
Gujarat Titans might not be as flashy as some teams this season, but they’re quietly dangerous. While Shubman Gill’s side took a heavy loss in Jaipur earlier, they bounced back hard by dominating Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match. Their top order — especially Gill, Saha, and Sudharsan — remains their biggest weapon.
If GT get firing early, they can unsettle any bowling attack.
