After last night’s drama, all eyes now shift to the IPL Eliminator. RCB have already punched their ticket to the final, and PBKS await their opponent in Qualifier 2. That opponent will be either Gujarat Titans or Mumbai Indians—two sides who now find themselves on a do-or-die stage. There’s no safety net here. Whoever loses tonight is out of the tournament. It’s a high-stakes battle, but the build-up hasn’t been ideal for either team. Both MI and GT are coming off disappointing defeats. Mumbai fell short against Punjab Kings in Jaipur, while Gujarat were handed a heavy beating by bottom-placed CSK. Now, they’ve got one shot at redemption.
To make things trickier, both teams have suffered major setbacks with their overseas players departing for national duty. GT will be without Jos Buttler and Kagiso Rabada. MI, on the other hand, are missing Will Jacks, Ryan Rickelton, and Corbin Bosch. Losing such firepower at this stage is brutal—but that’s the reality both sides must face.
Still, neither team is short on quality. MI boast a formidable Indian core with the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Tilak Varma, and Rohit Sharma. GT aren’t far behind, with Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Sai Kishore holding things down. With so much talent on both sides and everything to play for, the Eliminator promises fireworks. The only question is: who’s going to seize the moment and keep their title hopes alive?
Head-to-Head: GT vs MI - Who Holds the Advantage?

However, it's important to note that MI comes into this matchup riding high on a last game win and current form, giving them confidence heading into this crucial contest.

Predictions: Who Will Win the Match?
As far as match predictions is concerned, GT might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Shubman Gill, Sai Sudrashan, Rutherford and Sharukh Khan but MI's balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders like Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir make them a formidable opponent. Narendra Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, with its low-scoring potential, might slightly favor the Spin-heavy teams, so expect a good contest between bat and ball, And Shubman Gill start batter of GT so we know Gujarat is always the favorite team in his home ground.
Injury Update:
Currently no injury concerns from both sides.
Match: GT vs MI Eliminator of IPL 2025
Date: 30 May 2025
Stadium: Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium
Location: Mullanpur
The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur offers a balanced pitch that challenges both batsmen and bowlers. Early in the match, the surface favors the batsmen, allowing them to play aggressive strokes with good bounce and a solid foundation. A first innings score between 180-190 runs is generally considered competitive. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, providing assistance to spinners, which can make chasing more difficult. Teams chasing targets around 180-190 runs generally have a fighting chance, but anything above 190-200 can put them under pressure, especially with the slow nature of the pitch in the second innings. Overall, it’s a dynamic surface where both batting and bowling strategies need to adapt to the conditions, and a score around 180+ is often a strong target for the chasing side.
