MI vs GT Team News, Probable Playing XI and Key Players
Mumbai Indians Team News
Mumbai Indians are firing on all cylinders and currently sit third on the points table with 7 wins from 11 matches. They are coming off a thumping 100-run victory over the Rajasthan Royals and have now strung together six wins on the bounce. Confidence is sky-high in the MI camp, and they’ll be eyeing revenge against a side that has beaten them three times in a row, including earlier this season.
Skipper Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton set the tone in their last outing with a sizzling 116-run opening stand. In-form Suryakumar Yadav, along with Will Jacks and Tilak Varma, will be key in anchoring the middle overs. Down the order, Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir are expected to inject late fireworks against the Titans' inconsistent attack.
On the bowling front, Trent Boult needs to tighten up after an expensive spell last game. MI will count on Deepak Chahar to swing it early, while Jasprit Bumrah continues to dazzle with his precision at the death. Corbin Bosch, Karn Sharma, and Pandya's all-round skills will be crucial in the supporting cast.

Gujarat Titans Team News
The defending champions Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, are just behind MI in fourth place with seven wins from ten matches. They come into this contest fresh off a 38-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. A seventh straight victory here would all but seal their playoff spot.
Much of Gujarat's success this season has been built on strong starts, especially from Sai Sudharsan and Gill. The middle-order has firepower in Jos Buttler, Shahrukh Khan, and Washington Sundar, while Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan are known for turning games in the blink of an eye.
However, their bowling remains a sore point. Mohammad Siraj has been wayward with the new ball, and Ishant Sharma's injury only adds to their woes. They’ll be banking on Gerald Coetzee for early wickets, while Rashid Khan — still searching for top form — needs to click alongside Prasidh Krishna. The likes of Jayant Yadav, Sundar, and Sai Kishore will have to step up in the middle overs to contain MI’s aggressive lineup.

MI vs GT Head-to-Head Records
In their six IPL meetings so far, it's Gujarat Titans who've had the upper hand, taking four wins, while Mumbai Indians have triumphed just twice. But in T20s, history only goes so far — it’s about who brings the fire on the day.
MI vs GT pitch conditions and weather report
- Weather: Clear skies
- Pitch: Flat; A bit help for seamers
As for the conditions in Mumbai, they're tailor-made for a run-fest. The skies are set to stay clear, and the pitch at Wankhede Stadium is an absolute belter — a dream for batters and a bit of a nightmare for bowlers. The deck is flat, with little assistance for seamers early on, and the short boundaries offer plenty of incentive to go big.
The average first-innings total hovers around 167, but don’t be surprised if we see teams pushing the pedal toward 200. Batters can trust the bounce and play through the line, making strokeplay look effortless.
Fast bowlers will need every trick in the book — cutters, slower balls, and pinpoint yorkers — to survive on this surface. Spinners, on the other hand, might find some grip if they’re brave enough to toss it up, with the ball occasionally gripping and turning to keep batters guessing.
