Mumbai Indians (MI) narrowly defeated Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 67th match of IPL 2025. The game took place on Friday, May 30, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur.

Choosing to bat first in this knockout match, MI posted a strong total of 228/5 in their 20 overs.

For GT, R Sai Kishore and Prasidh Krishna each took two wickets during the first innings.
In the second innings, Trent Boult made an early impact by dismissing GT captain Shubman Gill (1) on the fourth ball of the first over.

Kusal Mendis contributed with a quick 20 off 10 balls before getting out via hit-wicket in the seventh over.
Sudharsan and Washington Sundar (48) then forged an 84-run partnership for the third wicket, putting GT in a strong position.

“Last Few Overs Didn’t Go Our Way”- Shubman Gill After GT’s Loss to MI in IPL 2025 Eliminator
During the post-match presentation, GT captain Shubman Gill reflected on his team’s disappointing defeat to MI, stating:
“Last three four overs didn’t go our way but still a great game of cricket. Never easy if we drop three sitters, it doesn’t help. The message was simple, just play the game you want to play and the goal was same for them, to win the game.”
“The wicket did become a bit easy for us. Lot of positives for us, last two three games didn’t went for us. It was a great season for Sai. 200-210 would have been par on this wicket. Saving those singles and doubles would have made a massive difference,” Gill elaborated.
