IPL 2025: GT win rain-affected thriller to hurt MI's playoff hopes

In a rain-affected thriller at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians suffered a significant setback in their IPL 2025 campaign after losing to Gujarat Titans by a narrow margin of four runs. This defeat has further complicated Mumbai’s chances of qualifying for the playoffs.

The match was disrupted multiple times due to weather conditions, which ultimately shortened the game and altered strategies for both sides. Chasing a revised target, Mumbai Indians fell just short despite a late push from their middle order.

Gujarat Titans held their nerve in the closing stages, with their bowlers keeping things tight and capitalizing on Mumbai’s miscalculations. The loss leaves MI in a tough position, with only a few matches left in the league stage and stiff competition from other teams in the mid-table.

The rain and the narrow defeat have added pressure on Mumbai to bounce back quickly if they are to keep their playoff hopes alive.
