Match 56 | May 6, 2025, 7:30 PM IST | Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

The Mumbai Indians (MI) face off against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 56th match of IPL 2025 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. MI, riding high on six consecutive victories, aim to continue their remarkable turnaround this season. Currently sitting third on the points table, MI are looking to secure a top-two finish and end their five-year title drought.

Meanwhile, GT, led by Shubman Gill, have been one of the most consistent teams this season. Their recent win against Sunrisers Hyderabad further solidifies their position as strong contenders for a second IPL title.

Pitch Report

The Wankhede Stadium offers a batting-friendly surface, especially under lights. Pacers can extract some early swing due to the sea breeze, making the powerplay crucial for batters to navigate carefully. As the game progresses, the consistent bounce and pace make it easier for batters to score freely. Dew is expected in the second innings, favoring teams chasing. Toss-winning captains are likely to opt for bowling first.
