Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will run into each other for this crunch Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash. This is the match no-9 of the current IPL season and will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday March 29.
One team will surely get the maximum points from this match and get the much-needed win as both GT and MI started the season with defeat on their respective opening game of the season. Gujarat came short by just 11 runs in their clash against Punjab Kings. But the 2022 champions have reasons to take positive from their last game. Especially because of the batting unit which made 232 runs in 20 overs.
Mumbai Indians also went down in their opening game. The five-time champions batted first and could only manage 155/9 in 20 overs, which, truly, was a subpar total. Chennai eventually chased down the target in 19.1 overs, winning the game by four wickets. However, there was a big positive for Mumbai as young bowler Vignesh Puthur took three wickets.
