The Indian Premier League 2025 is reaching its peak as Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the highly anticipated Eliminator. With a spot in Qualifier 2 at stake, both teams are leaving no stone unturned in their preparations. GT has had the upper hand in past encounters, but Mumbai’s experience in knockouts makes this an evenly poised contest.
The pitch at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium is known for offering true bounce and good carry, which suits both batters and fast bowlers. Spinners may come into play during the middle overs, but overall, it's a bat-first surface, especially in big games like playoffs.
Chandigarh is expected to offer clear skies and pleasant conditions for cricket.
