IPL 2025, Match 9: Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Match Preview

The Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) might still be in its early stages, but some highly anticipated matches are already lined up this season. The next exciting clash will be between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI), who will face off at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday, March 29.

Notably, GT were involved in a high-scoring game against the Punjab Kings, and although there were some positives to take from the match, it was not a performance to be particularly proud of. The Shubman Gill-led side will be eager to bounce back in their upcoming fixture and secure their first win of the season.

MI also had a disappointing start to the tournament, losing to their long-time rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their opening game. The match will also mark Hardik Pandya’s return after serving a ban for a slow over-rate offence last season. This will be an opportunity for the T20 World Cup winner to make a strong comeback following a disappointing campaign last year.

Pitch Report

The last game at Motera this season was a high-scoring encounter, with bowlers from both sides struggling to contain the run flow. The pitch did not seem to change much as the game progressed, and captains are likely to prefer chasing in the upcoming match at the world’s largest stadium.
