Mumbai Indians are flying high with their confidence after a 6-match phenomenal winning streak. They are coming into this beat after thrashing the Rajasthan Royals by 100 runs in Jaipur. Hardik Pandya's MI has been looking unbeatable at the current moment, and they will aim to reclaim their top spot after losing to RCB with their latest victory. With an inform top order and a fierce bowling attack, MI are on their way to secure their spot in the playoffs. They are just one spot above the Gujarat Titans on the IPL 2025 points table.

Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, bounced back from their defeat against Rajasthan Royals and secured a comfortable 38-run victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Shubman Gill's side is currently sitting at the fourth spot in the IPL 2025 points table. With the top-order assaulting bowlers, GT will be aiming to bounce back and make a jump to the top spot by replacing RCB. With the qualification race heating up, GT can't afford to lose any matches from here. A much-needed crucial good news for GT is that their key pacer Kagiso Rabada has joined the camp and is likely to feature in this match after being missing in action for the last month.

The Wankhede red-soil pitch typically provides plenty of runs, assisted by the short boundaries, so a run-fest is expected here in this night clash. Mumbai Indians, with their strong bowling attack, will look to exploit their home conditions yet again. A close and thrilling game is on the cards.
