Match Preview: Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians

The 2025 Indian Premier League is heating up, and Saturday morning’s showdown between the Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians should be another thrilling contest for U.S. cricket fans.

Both squads are still winless after one game, making this a crucial early-season fixture. Gujarat nearly chased down a monster total in their opener, falling just 11 runs short of Punjab Kings. Sai Sudharsan (74), Jos Buttler (54), and Sherfane Rutherford (46) impressed with the bat, but their bowling faltered, aside from a strong 3/30 from Sai Kishore.

Mumbai also started their season with a loss, going down to the Chennai Super Kings in a low-scoring encounter. Their batting looked uncertain, though Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav chipped in. The silver lining? Debutant Vignesh Puthur snagged 3/32 and might be a key weapon again on the flatter pitch in Ahmedabad.

All eyes will be on Hardik Pandya, who makes his return to Ahmedabad after rejoining the Mumbai Indians. Expect fireworks, as the former GT skipper will want to make a statement against his old squad.

While Gujarat have firepower, the absence of Mohammad Shami and concerns over their middle order give MI a slight edge—especially if they get to set the tone with the bat.

Predictions & Player Props

This one could be decided by the toss, but Mumbai appear more well-rounded. Pandya’s knowledge of the Ahmedabad pitch and SKY’s potential return gives MI the upper hand.

Shubman Gill is worth backing for 30+ runs. The GT captain has three centuries at this venue and looked in solid touch in the opener. At +110, there’s value on him to lead the charge.

Trent Boult to be Mumbai’s top wicket-taker is another smart play. The left-armer is a proven IPL performer and could make early inroads against Gujarat’s top order. With swing on offer early, his +290 price offers solid upside.
