Both teams are desperate for their first win after their opening losses in Match 9 MI vs GT 2025 of IPL 2025. GT IPL fell short by 11 runs while chasing a target of 244 against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at home in IPL, while MI IPL lost to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk by 4 wickets, managing only 155 runs. With Hardik Pandya returning to face his former team, this GT vs MI 2025 encounter is set to take place in Ahmedabad.
Team Form of the Previous match:
MI: Mumbai openers Suryakumar Yadav (42) and Tilak Varma (31) exposed their batting frailties – 36/3 in 5 overs – and offered resistance. Deepak Chahar’s 28 off 15 balls helped them reach 155, but their bowlers could not defend it despite Vignesh Puthur’s 3/32. Hardik Pandya‘s return from ban strengthens their all-round depth in this IPL MI vs GT matchup.
GT: GT bowlers struggled against PBKS and conceded 243 runs, though R Sai Kishore impressed with 3/30.47, in reply, Shubman Gill (33 off 14 balls), Sai Sudharsan (74 off 41 balls), Jos Buttler (54 off 33 balls) and Sherfane Rutherford (46 off 46 balls) could get close to 28 runs. 232.

Today IPL Match Prediction
Mumbai Indians go in as slight favourites (54% probability , odds: 1.70-1.82 vs GT’s 1.95-2.12) thanks to Pandya’s return and historic IPL record. Their bowling – Boult, Chahar and Puthur – offers variety, and Suryakumar’s form could take advantage of GT’s pacers. However, GT’s batting strength (Gill, Sudharsan, Buttler) fits in well in Ahmedabad, and their 3-2 lead, plus home advantage, makes the contest even. The toss is crucial – the success rate in chasing targets here is 65%.
Who will win? Gujarat Titans (GT)
GT have a 52-48 edge thanks to their familiarity with Ahmedabad conditions and a strong top order. MI’s batting depth is yet to be tested, and GT’s spinners (Rashid, Sai Kishore) could take advantage of any collapse. Expect a high-scoring thriller with GT chasing 190+ or defending 200+.
