The 56th match of IPL 2025 sees Mumbai Indians (MI) take on Gujarat Titans (GT) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on May 6. Both teams are in a strong position on the points table, each with 14 points, but GT have played one match fewer. This clash is crucial as both sides aim to secure their playoff spots and potentially finish in the top two.
MI are on a six-match winning streak, coming off a dominant 100-run victory over Rajasthan Royals. Their batting lineup, featuring Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, has been in exceptional form, while their bowling attack-led by Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah and Deepak Chahar has consistently restricted opponents.
GT also arrive in good form after a 38-run win against Sunrisers Hyderabad, powered by fifties from Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler. GT’s top order, including B Sai Sudharsan, Buttler, and Gill, has been prolific this season, but they will be tested by MI’s potent bowling unit.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at Wankhede Stadium is renowned for being batting-friendly, offering consistent bounce and pace that allows batters to play their shots confidently from the outset. Early in the innings, pacers might extract some swing and seam movement due to the sea breeze, making the powerplay a testing phase for batters. However, as the game progresses, the surface settles, and run-scoring becomes easier, especially under lights. Dew is likely to play a role in the second innings, making it more challenging for bowlers to grip the ball and favouring teams chasing. With short boundaries and a history of high-scoring matches, another run-fest is expected at this venue tonight.
