IPL 2025, Match - 72, Eliminator | GT vs MI | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Gujarat Titans (GT) will play against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 72nd game (Eliminator) of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. While MI finished fourth on the points table with 8 wins, GT ended at number 3 with 9 wins from 14 encounters.

Gujarat Titans missed out on a top-table finish in IPL 2025 despite a strong season. After an opening loss to PBKS, they bounced back with four straight wins, including victories over MI, RCB, SRH, and RR. Mid-season stumbles against LSG and RR were offset by wins against DC, KKR, MI, and DC again. However, back-to-back losses to LSG and CSK in their final games cost them the top spot. With 9 wins and a strong net run rate, GT finished third with 18 points.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians started IPL 2025 poorly, losing four of their first five games. They bounced back with a six-match winning streak, defeating DC, SRH (twice), CSK, LSG, and RR. Late losses to GT and PBKS were offset by a key win over DC. They ended the league stage with 8 wins and 6 losses. Thanks to the best net run rate, MI finished fourth with 16 points in 14 matches, clinching a playoff spot.
