Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will clash in the ninth match of IPL 2025 in Ahmedabad. Both sides are coming off losses in their first games and will be eager to grab their first points. The previous match at this venue saw over 450 runs being scored in 40 overs, and a similar high-scoring contest is expected. The team that attacks with the bat more aggressively is likely to gain the upper hand on this batting-friendly surface.

Gujarat Titans started their campaign with a tough 11-run loss to Punjab Kings. The Narendra Modi Stadium played host to a run-fest, with Punjab smashing 243-5 after being sent in to bat. Gujarat fought hard in reply but couldn’t get over the line.
Sai Sudharsan (74 off 41) and Jos Buttler (54 off 33) were the bright spots with the bat. Shubman Gill also got off to a fast start but couldn’t convert it into a big score. However, his record at this venue is outstanding—he has nearly 1,000 runs in 19 matches at the venue, including three centuries. Gill will be expected to step up in this game.
GT’s lower middle order looks unreliable, with Shahrukh Khan, Sai Kishore, and Arshad Khan filling those slots. If Gujarat loses wickets early, they could be in serious trouble.
Bowling is another area of concern. Mohammed Siraj struggled in the previous fixture, conceding 54 runs in his four-over spell. Kagiso Rabada is their most reliable pacer, but he can’t do it alone. Rashid Khan also had an off day, going for 48 runs in his four overs. The only standout was Sai Kishore, who picked up three wickets for 30. Gujarat’s bowling needs to step up, or they’ll have a tough time in the tournament.
The left hander played a valiant knock (74 runs) on a losing cause against Punjab Kings in the season opener. Sudharshan has scored 104 runs in 3 matches against Mumbai Indians, averaging 34. Given his current form, we back him to play another impactful knock in today's match.
Shubman Gill (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna Impact Player options: Sherfane Rutherford, Glenn Phillips

Mumbai Indians didn’t have the best start to their IPL 2025 campaign, falling short in their opener against Chennai Super Kings. The low-scoring match at Chepauk saw Mumbai struggle on a sluggish pitch, with Tilak Varma’s 31 being the highest contribution. The final total of 155-9 wasn’t enough, as CSK chased it down without much trouble.
Ahmedabad’s conditions, however, should be far more favorable for Mumbai’s batting lineup. With players like Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Suryakumar Yadav, they’ll be eager to make an impact on a pitch suited for stroke play.
Adding to their strength is the return of captain Hardik Pandya, who had to sit out the first game due to an over-rate penalty from the previous season. Having played for Gujarat in 2022 and 2023, Pandya knows this surface inside out and can contribute with both bat and ball.
Mumbai’s bowling attack will look to make early inroads with Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar leading the charge. Left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner is expected to control the run flow in the middle overs while also providing wicket-taking opportunities. Meanwhile, young left-arm wrist-spinner Vignesh Puthur, who impressed with 3-32 on debut, could again play a crucial role.
Tilak Varma scored 31 runs in 25 balls on a tough batting track at Chennai and was the top-scorer for Mumbai Indians. At Ahmedabad in 3 matches, he has scored 70 runs, averaging 23.3. Against Gujarat Titans he has scored he has scored 91 runs in 4 matches. He is one of the key inform batter for MI and we back him to continue his good run of form in today's match.

The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium will be a flat deck. In the previous game here, we saw batters making merry and hitting through the line with ease. There is hardly any assistance for fast bowlers and both teams will be looking to make as many runs as possible off them. Spinners will find some grip in the middle, but it won’t be much of an issue. The pitch will stay true throughout.
The weather in Ahmedabad will be warm and clear with no forecast of rain.

Average TurnIn the previous game played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Punjab Kings amassed 243-5 after batting first and Gujarat Titans scored 232-5 in response – that’s a total of 475 runs in 40 overs! Expect another run-fest at the venue with more than 420 runs on the cards.
A total of 44 fours were hit in the last match played at Narendra Modi Stadium. It offers a flat track where the ball comes onto the bat nicely and the outfield is quick, where the batters get full value for their shots.
We back the home team Gujarat Titans to win the coin toss in match 9 of TATA IPL 2025.
The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium favours the batters and it was quite evident in the last match played at this venue. A total of 475 runs was scored, which shows the kind of surface and battig conditions that are on offer. We predict another high scoring game and the total match score to be over 385.5.
In the previous game played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the team batting first ed a comfortable win. Batting first, hence, seems to be to safer option here.
Both Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians are heading into this match desperate for a win after rough starts to their campaigns. The surface is likely to be good for batting, meaning runs will flow. Mumbai appears to have the stronger side to take advantage of these conditions, while Gujarat will lean heavily on their captain and a handful of batters to put up a fight. Their bowling unit, apart from Rabada, looks fragile—something Mumbai’s batters will be eager to exploit. Given the matchups, MI seem well-positioned to take control and secure their first victory.
We are backing Mumbai Indians as the winners of this contest.
