Here are some of the best bets for this Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans IPL 2025 match.
Sai Sudharsan has been sensational in the tournament, piling on runs while taking minimal risks. He has amassed 504 runs in 10 innings at an average of 50 and a strike rate of 154. The left-hand batter has registered five half-centuries in the season.
GT have an excellent top three, but their batters rely more on a traditional style of play and take fewer risks. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have more six-hitters in their line-up.
Prasidh Krishna has had an incredible season with the ball, and he should be effective on the Wankhede pitch. He has taken 19 wickets in 10 innings at an economy of 7.43 while striking every 12.3 deliveries. Prasidh had taken two for 18 in four overs the last time these two teams met.
The Wankhede Stadium produces arguably the best pitches for T20 cricket. There is generally good movement on offer for seamers with the new ball, but batters can dominate the proceedings afterwards. The average first innings score at this ground since IPL 2022 is 173.
