Five-time champions Mumbai Indians will be up against 2021 winners Gujarat Titans in the second Playoffs clash of IPL 2025 – the Eliminator – at the new PCA Stadium in Mullanpur on Friday. Hardik Pandya’s MI are gunning for an unprecedented sixth IPL title but for that they will have to another couple of matches before they can face Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the title. Both captains — Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya — have something to prove. Gill recently named India’s Test captain could enhance his leadership credentials with a deep Playoff run. For Hardik who has regained fan support after facing jeers last season an IPL title would further cement his legacy within the franchise. However both sides carry concerns into this clash. GT enter the knockout stage short on momentum having leaked 465 runs in their last two matches. Their bowling has faltered especially in the powerplay. Mohammed Siraj must strike early while Arshad Khan’s struggles with the new ball have increased pressure on standout pacer Prasidh Krishna (23 wickets this season). Spin spearhead Rashid Khan has also been ineffective compounding their woes. With the bat Gujarat’s top trio — Sai Sudharsan Gill and Jos Buttler — were crucial in the league phase. But Buttler’s departure for national duty leaves a void. His replacement Kusal Mendis has big shoes to fill. Mumbai Indians too are coping with player departures. Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks have returned to international commitments forcing MI to bring in Jonny Bairstow Richard Gleeson and Charith Asalanka. Bairstow is expected to partner Rohit Sharma at the top.   Locked in for the Eliminator. Eyes only on the prize. 👊 Watch how the boys prepped up in today’s #MIDaily 👉 https://t.co/EmkByIVXLZ#MumbaiIndians #PlayLikeMumbai #TATAIPL #GTvMI pic.twitter.com/CAtW4q6m9f — Mumbai Indians (@mipaltan) May 30 2025 Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians IPL 2025 Eliminator Match Details Venue: New PCA Stadium Mullanpur Date & Time: May 30 730pm IST onwards Live Streaming and TV details: Star Sports Network and JioHotstar website and app. GT vs MI IPL 2025 Eliminator Match Dream11 Prediction Wicketkeeper: Jonny Bairstow Batters: Rohit Sharma Suryakumar Yadav Shubman Gill Sai Sudharsan Sherfane Rutherford All-rounders: Hardik Pandya Mitchell Santner Bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah Trent Boult Prasidh Krishna Captain: Sai Sudharsan Vice-captain: Suryakumar Yadav GT vs MI IPL 2025 Eliminator Match Predicted 12 Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill (c) B Sai Sudharsan Kusal Mendis (wk) Sherfane Rutherford M Shahrukh Khan Rahul Tewatia Rashid Khan Gerald Coetzee Arshad Khan R Sai Kishore Mohammed Siraj Prasidh Krishna Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma Jonny Bairstow (wk) Tilak Varma Suryakumar Yadav Charith Asalanka/Bevon Jacobs Hardik Pandya (c) Naman Dhir Mitchell Santner Deepak Chahar Trent Boult Jasprit Bumrah Karn Sharma
