The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) continues with a high-stakes Eliminator match scheduled for this evening. Mumbai Indians will take on Gujarat Titans at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. The match is set to begin at 7:45 PM Nepali time.
Gujarat Titans secured third place in the league stage, while Mumbai Indians finished fourth, setting up this decisive clash. This will be the third meeting between the two sides this season, with Gujarat emerging victorious in both of their previous encounters.
The winner of tonight’s match will progress to the second Qualifier, where they will face Punjab Kings—who lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the first Qualifier on Thursday. The second Qualifier is scheduled for Sunday in Ahmedabad.
The team that prevails in the second Qualifier will move on to the IPL 2025 final, where they will take on RCB. Bangalore secured their spot in the final after defeating Punjab Kings by eight wickets.
Historically, Gujarat Titans have had the upper hand in this rivalry, winning five of the seven matches played between the two franchises. Mumbai Indians, with two wins, will be eager to turn the tide in this crucial knockout contest.
