GT vs MI head-to-head: How do Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans match up in IPL history?

NEW DELHI: The eagerly awaited clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT) is set to take place this Saturday, with both teams desperate to secure their first win of the IPL 2025 season after disappointing opening matches. Mumbai Indians, coming off a four-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings, are looking to bounce back, while Gujarat Titans, who lost by 11 runs to Punjab Kings in a high-scoring thriller, are equally keen to make amends.
Mumbai Indians will be bolstered by the return of Hardik Pandya, who was serving a one-match ban. His presence will bring much-needed balance to their lineup, providing depth in both batting and bowling. However, the absence of Jasprit Bumrah in the opener exposed some weaknesses in Mumbai's attack, especially in the death overs. Pandya's all-round capabilities, combined with his pace-bowling prowess, will be crucial in addressing those vulnerabilities.

Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, also faced issues in their opening match, particularly with their bowling attack. While Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan remain key weapons, they will be tested by Mumbai's formidable batting lineup, which includes the likes of Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav -- both of whom are currently out of form and will need to find their rhythm to lead the charge.

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will provide a batting-friendly surface, a stark contrast to the slow, spin-heavy track at Chepauk. With a combined total of 475 runs scored in the opening game at this venue, Mumbai's batsmen will be hoping to take full advantage of the conditions. Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj's inconsistent performance against Punjab has raised concerns over his effectiveness in high-pressure situations.
For Mumbai, Suryakumar Yadav’s form is crucial, as is Rohit Sharma's ability to find consistency. On the other hand, Shubman Gill's performance will be key for Gujarat Titans, as he will be expected to anchor the innings. The potential inclusion of Glenn Phillips over Sherfane Rutherford might strengthen their lineup, especially with Phillips’ off-spin offering an additional option for the team.

In their previous five encounters, Gujarat Titans hold a slight edge, winning three matches, while Mumbai Indians have emerged victorious twice. Both teams will be looking to outplay each other in what promises to be a closely contested match.
