MI vs GT Highlights, IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans beat Mumbai Indians by 36 runs for their first win of IPL 2025

MI vs GT Live Score, IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT) face off on Saturday, both desperate for their first win of the IPL season. MI, led by Hardik Pandya, will welcome his return from a one-match suspension, hoping his all-round skills bring much-needed balance to the side. The five-time champions suffered a four-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings, while GT fell short by 11 runs against Punjab Kings in a run-fest.

Mumbai’s week-long break allowed them to regroup, but their bowling remains a concern. Without Jasprit Bumrah, they struggled in the opener, while their lower-order batting lacked firepower. However, the switch to Ahmedabad’s batting-friendly conditions should help their batters, especially after a tough outing on Chepauk’s slow track.

For Gujarat, Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan carry the bulk of the bowling responsibilities, while Mohammed Siraj’s poor form (54 runs conceded against Punjab) adds to their struggles. Shubman Gill’s leadership and form will be key, and the team management may consider bringing in Glenn Phillips for additional bowling depth.

Mumbai will also look to resolve their overseas combination, with Ryan Rickleton under scrutiny as the primary wicketkeeper. Suryakumar Yadav’s poor form and Rohit Sharma’s inconsistency add further pressure.

With both teams looking to fine-tune their playing XIs, expect a high-scoring battle at Narendra Modi Stadium as MI and GT fight for their first points of the season.

He’s a good friend of mine, inside the field it should be like that, but we don’t take things personally. (On his bowling) I wasn’t getting as much purchase today, so had to bowl defensively and had to do a job for the team. The pitch played better than it looked. (On Suryakumar Yadav) He played well, he swept all my good length balls. If someone plays a good shot, you have to credit the batter. I have to credit Shubman, he kept advising me on what to bowl to Surya since he’s seen him in the Indian nets. Looking forward to this season, I've been very honest with myself and worked very hard. Have watched a lot of games and worked on a lot of things for this season, so looking forward to this season.

GT's Sai Kishore on the Hardik Pandya incident

23:47 (IST) Mar 29

Tough to put it together, I think in batting and bowling we were 15-20 runs short in both places. We were not professional in the field, we made basic errors and that cost us 20-25 runs and in a T20 game that is quite a lot. They (GT openers) batted brilliantly, only a couple of deliveries here and there. They were quite exceptional, they didn't take many chances, they did the right stuff, they were able to get runs without playing many risky shots. We were doing catch-up since then. At the moment we all need to take responsibility, it's early stage. Batters have to come to the party, hopefully they do that soon. On this wicket they (slower deliveries) were the toughest balls, some were shooting, some were bouncing, as batters it becomes difficult.

MI vs GT IPL Live Score: Gujarat Titans beat Mumbai Indians by 36 runs for their first win of IPL 2025

After 20 overs, Mumbai Indians scored 160/6. In the final over, Mohammad Siraj bowled tightly, conceding only 9 runs. Mitchell Santner overturned an LBW decision after a review, as the ball pitched outside leg. Santner then hit a powerful six over long-on. Naman Dhir added a couple of singles but couldn't find a boundary. Santner finished on 18 off 9 balls, and Dhir remained not out on 18 off 11 balls. The innings concluded with Mumbai's total of 160/6, with GT winning by 36 runs.

23:23 (IST) Mar 29

MI vs GT IPL Live Score: three more overs needed

Kagiso Rabada claimed the key wicket of Hardik Pandya, with a slower ball that surprised Hardik, causing him to offer a simple catch to Siraj at short third man. The slower pace of the ball caught Hardik off guard as he tried to play his signature late dab.

MI 124/6 in 17 overs

23:13 (IST) Mar 29

MI vs GT IPL Live Score: OUT! SKY departs

With Hardik Pandya on 9 (13) and the big wicket of Suryakumar Yadav falling for 48 (28), Prasidh Krishna has been superb, getting the key breakthrough. He bowled a brilliant slower delivery to SKY, who tried to loft it but only managed to toe-end it to Shubman Gill at long-off. This wicket has given Gujarat Titans a significant edge in the game. Hardik Pandya, now the key batter for MI, will need to anchor the innings and try to build a partnership with the new batter at the crease.

MI 120/5 in 16 overs

23:11 (IST) Mar 29

MI vs GT IPL Live Score: Sai Kishore continues his tight spell

Sai Kishore continues his tight spell, with the over conceding just 6 runs. The highlight of the over was Hardik Pandya's clever paddle shot for a four, using the lack of room given by Sai Kishore to his advantage. There's some drama between Hardik and Sai, with both players exchanging stares after a few deliveries, adding some spice to the contest. Suryakumar Yadav is closing in on his half-century and will look to accelerate the scoring, while Hardik Pandya will aim to find some rhythm and provide support.

Suryakumar Yadav is playing a solid knock with 45 off 23 balls, while Robin Minz has been dismissed for 3 (6 balls) after being caught by Ishant at short third man off Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore’s bowling. The key moment came with the dismissal of Minz, who tried to loft a short delivery from Sai Kishore but got an outside edge that was easily caught. Suryakumar continues to look dangerous, particularly with his sweep shots, as he launched Sai Kishore for a big six earlier in the over. Now, MI will need to rely on their lower order to build partnerships and accelerate the scoring.

Despite a few close calls, they're managing to rotate the strike well and push the scoring rate. The next few overs will be crucial for MI, as they look to accelerate further and put pressure on Gujarat Titans. There's still plenty of batting to come, so MI will hope these two can build a solid partnership and set a strong foundation for the later batter.

They are rotating the strike effectively and picking up the occasional boundary. With 10 overs completed, MI will look to accelerate further, especially with the big hitters to come. The score is well within a manageable range, but the key now will be maintaining focus and capitalizing on any loose deliveries.

MI 86/2 in 10 overs

22:38 (IST) Mar 29

Both batsmen are handling the pressure well, rotating the strike and finding the boundaries when needed. The partnership between Tilak and Suryakumar looks strong, and Mumbai will be aiming to maintain their momentum in the middle overs.

MI 80/2 in 9 overs

22:36 (IST) Mar 29

MI vs GT IPL Live Score: Ishant Sharma concedes 17 runs

Tilak Varma on 30 (24) and Suryakumar Yadav on 19 (11). Ishant Sharma bowls an over where he concedes 15 runs, including a six and a boundary. Suryakumar Yadav punished a short delivery for six over long leg, while Tilak Varma found the boundary with a well-placed pull shot to deep mid-wicket. Both batsmen are looking solid, finding the gaps and rotating the strike well. Mumbai will be looking to push the scoring as the pair builds a promising partnership.

MI 69/2 in 8 overs

22:22 (IST) Mar 29

MI vs GT IPL Live Score: Rabada bowls steady over

Kagiso Rabada has bowled a steady over, conceding 6 runs. There was a bit of luck for Tilak Varma, as a leading edge off a slower delivery from Rabada went safely over the infield. Both batsmen have been cautious but are accumulating singles and a couple of twos. The key now will be for them to shift gears while ensuring they don't lose more wickets.

MI 54/2 in 7 overs in chase of 197

22:18 (IST) Mar 29

MI vs GT IPL Live Score: Mumbai Indians look to pose a strong partnership

After 6 overs, Mumbai Indians are 48/2, with Suryakumar Yadav on 9 (6) and Tilak Varma on 20 (17). Rashid Khan has bowled a tidy over, conceding only 4 runs, but without taking a wicket. There was a moment of suspense when Tilak Varma was given out, but the decision was overturned after it was revealed that the ball had brushed his gloves. The batsmen have been cautious, particularly with Rashid Khan's spin, but they will need to accelerate soon to keep the run rate in check.

22:11 (IST) Mar 29

GT vs MI Live: Mohammed Siraj knocks Rickelton out

Mohammed Siraj has been impressive, picking up both openers' wickets, including Rickelton who was bowled out for 6 (9). The highlight of the over was a stunning six by Suryakumar Yadav, showing his class with a flick over deep backward square leg. The batsmen will need to build a partnership now, and Mumbai will hope Suryakumar can guide them to a solid total after the early loss of wickets.

MI 44/2 in 5 overs in chase of 197

21:49 (IST) Mar 29

GT vs MI Live: MI lose Rohit Sharma

After two overs, Mumbai Indians are off to a strong start despite Rohit Sharma's dismissal. Tilak Varma has been the key contributor, striking 16 runs off just 8 balls, including two fours and a six. He has shown great form, especially with his clean hitting, including a well-placed scoop over fine leg. Ryan Rickelton, yet to get off the mark, will look to settle in and build a partnership with Varma.

Rabada, though expensive with 15 runs off his first over, is still a dangerous bowler, and Mumbai will need to keep their momentum going in the next few overs. The chase is still in its early stages, and Mumbai has a good opportunity to capitalize on the strong start. Siraj gives away 6 runs off the next over.

MI 30/1 in 3 overs

21:26 (IST) Mar 29

GT vs MI Live: Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler take Gujarat Titans to 196/8 against Mumbai Indians

Satyanarayana Raju claims two wickets. Rashid Khan is caught by Hardik Pandya for 6 runs, and Sai Kishore is run out by Rickelton for 1 run. Despite hitting a six earlier, Rabada ends up on 7* as Gujarat Titans finish their innings at 196/8.

With Gujarat Titans posting a competitive total of 196/8, Mumbai Indians will face a challenging chase. The Titans' bowling attack, featuring experienced bowlers like Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore, along with some late wickets, will make it difficult for Mumbai to accelerate. The pitch may offer some assistance to the spinners, and the pressure of chasing a total over 190 could make the task even harder. Mumbai will need strong contributions from their top-order batsmen, particularly from key players like Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, to keep the chase on track. It will be a tough ask, but with a few partnerships, Mumbai could still make a game of it.

He’s off to a great start with 13(6), with the partnership between Rutherford and Sudharsan building some much-needed momentum. The bowlers need to regroup or this could turn into a big chase for MI!

19:05 (IST) Mar 29

A bit unsure of this pitch, definitely not like the one that was used for the GT vs PBKS game. It is a different clay to the other surface, and this pitch could play a bit two-paced. The pitch looks a bit patchy, where 180 could be par. There will be enough for the bowlers, for change of pace. New ball might kiss off the surface. Don’t think it will be as good batting conditions as the earlier game at this venue. Both teams look consistent, they’d both like to chase just in case there is some dew, but don’t think this surface suits one team over the other. You got to play your best cricket to win.

Michael Clarke on pitch report from GT vs MI IPL game

19:04 (IST) Mar 29

Batted first plenty of times here, so nothing changes for us. It is all about assessing the conditions and seeing what target we can set, and if we are chasing it is about how to get to that target. We have got the same team, might see one change with the impact sub. We want to have a lefty - righty combination, and Jos has been playing at 3 for England, so nothing changes for him.

Shubman Gill, GT skipper

19:04 (IST) Mar 29

We'll bowl first. The simple reason is we don't know how the pitch will play, plus the dew factor. Only last year we played on black soil, otherwise we have been playing on red soil. Last year, we had the game under wraps but couldn't finish it. The prep has been fantastic, the boys are excited and we back each other, be there for each other. Very happy stage. I come back, and the others we are keeping the options open. Always about playing good cricket, planning right and enjoying the game.

Mumbai Indians had a tough outing at Chepauk, where the sluggish pitch didn’t allow their batting lineup to flourish. But now, playing at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the conditions are expected to be far more favorable for stroke-makers. Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Tilak Varma will have the opportunity to go big, while Suryakumar Yadav will look to regain form. With Pandya back and possibly slotting into the middle order, MI’s batting should have more depth. Can they make the most of the batting-friendly conditions and put up a strong total against GT?

IPL Live Score: Gujarat Titans face selection dilemma

Gujarat Titans have their own set of problems to address. The team relies heavily on Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan for wickets, but the lack of experienced Indian pacers could hurt them in the long run. Mohammed Siraj’s expensive outing in the first match exposed their bowling vulnerabilities. Additionally, skipper Shubman Gill’s performance with the bat will be crucial, as GT’s middle order has looked shaky. The team might also consider including Glenn Phillips, who offers off-spin as a second bowling option, instead of Sherfane Rutherford, who struggled in the last game. Will GT get their combination right this time?

17:59 (IST) Mar 29

GT vs MI Live: Can Mumbai Indians fix their bowling woes?

Mumbai Indians’ biggest concern heading into this game is their bowling attack. Without Jasprit Bumrah in the opener, their bowling lacked bite, and even their lower-order batting seemed fragile. The absence of Pandya in the first match also meant they missed a key all-rounder who could contribute with both bat and ball. However, with Pandya back, MI will hope to find the right balance in their playing XI. The real test will be whether they can contain Gujarat’s strong batting lineup on a pitch that has already produced high-scoring games. Can MI’s bowling unit step up this time?

MI vs GT Live Score: Hardik Pandya returns as Mumbai Indians seek first win in IPL 2025

The much-awaited return of Hardik Pandya from suspension is set to bring much-needed stability to Mumbai Indians (MI) as they gear up to face Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad. Both teams are yet to open their account in this IPL season after disappointing losses in their respective opening matches. MI struggled against Chennai Super Kings, while GT fell short in a high-scoring thriller against Punjab Kings. With the Narendra Modi Stadium expected to produce another batting-friendly surface, this encounter promises fireworks. Will Pandya’s comeback be the game-changer for Mumbai, or will Gujarat bounce back stronger?

MI vs GT Live Score, IPL 2025: The return of Hardik Pandya from suspension is set to boost Mumbai Indians (MI) as they face Gujarat Titans (GT) in a high-stakes IPL clash on Saturday. Both teams are yet to register a win this season, with MI suffering a four-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings and GT falling short by 11 runs against Punjab Kings.

MI’s bowling frailties, particularly in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and Pandya, were exposed in the opener. However, batting-friendly conditions at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium could work in their favor after struggling on Chepauk’s sluggish pitch.

GT, on the other hand, relies heavily on Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan for breakthroughs. Mohammed Siraj’s inconsistency remains a concern, while skipper Shubman Gill’s form will be key to their chances. With both teams still adjusting their playing XIs, this encounter promises to be a crucial battle for early momentum in the tournament.
