The IPL 2025 playoffs have begun, and the Gujarat Titans are set to face the Mumbai Indians in Mullanpur on Friday in the eliminator. It's do-or-die territory; whoever loses is eliminated from the tournament. The winner, on the other hand, advances to Qualifier 2 and faces the loser of Qualifier 1. Both teams have had difficulties at times this season, but they've also demonstrated that they can beat anyone when everything clicks. This Eliminator is likely to be a close race.

The Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians both entered the Eliminator after disappointing losses. They've had their moments this season, and on their best days, they can defeat any opponent. However, Gujarat will be under pressure after suffering two consecutive heavy defeats. They'll also be missing Jos Buttler, which weakens their top-heavy batting lineup. For Gujarat to stand a real chance, their bowlers must improve their game, which hasn't happened in their recent outings. MI hasn't gotten past any of the top three this season, and they've already lost to GT once, but with more depth and expertise in high-stakes games, backing the five-time champions seems like the better option. Considering the team combination, Mumbai Indians is expected to win this match.
