Mumbai Indians
Gujarat Titans
The 56th match of IPL 2025 will be played between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans at the Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai Indians will walk into this game with strong form, having won their last 6 matches. Their recent win against the Rajasthan Royals was a dominant one.
They will also have the home advantage with 4 wins in their last 5 games at this venue. Gujarat Titans will be confident after beating Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous game. Their batting has looked solid in recent matches, but the bowling unit remains a concern. Injuries and the absence of key bowlers have weakened their attack, which could be a problem against a batting-heavy Mumbai side.
Gujarat Titans hold the upper hand in recent meetings, with 4 wins in the last 5 head-to-head matches, including one earlier this season. Overall, GT have won 4 times against MI, while Mumbai have won twice.
With in-form power-hitters on both sides and a batting-friendly surface at Wankhede, this match will also see plenty of sixes from both ends.

This game is expected to be high-scoring, with both sides having top-class batters in form. Mumbai will rely on Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav to score quickly in the powerplay and middle overs. Gujarat have one of the best top orders this season with Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler all capable of clearing the ropes with ease.
The match will be played at Wankhede, where boundaries are short and the pitch favours batters. Fast bowlers from both teams have struggled for control, and that could lead to more big hits. Given the conditions and the form of both top orders, fans can expect a boundary-filled game with plenty of sixes. The chasing side will have the advantage.
