Gujarat Titans pulled off a nail-biting win off the final ball in a high-octane clash against the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, capping off a rollercoaster contest brimming with drama.
Despite multiple rain interruptions and a few anxious moments, GT held their composure to emerge victorious, silencing the home crowd in a thrilling IPL 2025 encounter.
The match had its fair share of twists and turns, beginning with Gujarat Titans’ early struggles in the field. Three dropped catches in the powerplay handed lifelines to the Mumbai batters, notably Will Jacks, who made full use of his reprieves. Jacks, dropped on 0 and 29, went on to hammer a fluent 53 off 35 balls, studded with five fours and three sixes. Suryakumar Yadav chipped in with a brisk 34, but the rest of the Mumbai lineup failed to capitalize, as Gujarat’s spinners staged a remarkable turnaround.
Titans had earlier opted to field first against Mumbai Indians, aiming to neutralise the formidable MI batting unit and chase down the target with minimal pressure. With both teams emerging as strong contenders for the playoffs, the outcome of this encounter could significantly shape the final league standings.
Mumbai Indians, currently placed third on the points table, boast the best Net Run Rate in the competition. With just two victories required from their remaining three fixtures, the five-time champions are well-positioned to secure a direct entry into the 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.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans, sitting in fourth place, have four games remaining. Two of those will be hosted in Ahmedabad, where the Shubman Gill-led outfit has also enjoyed an impressive home record, claiming four wins from five outings. The equation is simple for GT, two more victories will likely seal their spot in the playoffs.
The Titans’ batting strength lies in their top-order trio: B Sai Sudharsan (504 runs), Jos Buttler (470), and skipper Shubman Gill (465), who have consistently powered the team to commanding totals. However, this match presents a stiff challenge, as they face what is arguably the tournament's most lethal bowling lineup. MI’s attack, spearheaded by Trent Boult (16 wickets), supported by Hardik Pandya (13), Jasprit Bumrah (11), and Deepak Chahar (9), has effectively stifled even the strongest batting sides.
