Match Preview The ninth match of the tournament will see two rival teams, Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI), will lock horns at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 29th March 2025. After losing their opening matches to Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings, respectively, both are aiming to bounce back in the tournament. Gujarat Titans Gujarat Titans is set to face Mumbai Indians in their second match of IPL 2025. Under the leadership of Shubhman Gill, they will look to get back on track after losing their opening match by 11 runs. They would be disappointed with their performance against Punjab Kings (PBKS), losing by 11 runs in a close contest. PBKS posted 243 for 5 in their first innings with the help of Shreyas Iyer (97*) and a brilliant finish by Shashank Singh (44 off 16 balls). But the Gujarat Titans fell short of chasing the target; even with two fifty-plus scores in their scorecard, they couldn't cross the winning line. Mumbai Indians Mumbai Indians lost their opening match to Chennai Super Kings by 4 wickets in Chennai. Hardik Pandya missed the match due to a match ban, and Suryakumar Yadav was seen handling the leadership duties. They will look to bounce back in this match. As Jasprit Bumrah is set to be sidelined for some more matches, it will be interesting to see how MI fill his shoes to keep their good run once they start winning. MI has found a new spin wizard in the form of Vignesh Puthur. The young 24-year-old spinner was brilliant with the ball; taking three wickets on his debut match is already an achievement for him.
