The Indian Premier League Eliminator takes place at the New PCA Stadium in Chandigarh on Friday, 30 May, featuring a showdown between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians. The match is crucial as a single loss ends the campaign, promising a strategic battle under the lights starting at 7:30 PM IST. Read on for our prediction for Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians.
Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Match Preview
Just a week ago, the momentum was quite different for these teams. Gujarat was in the top two after a dominant ten-wicket win over Delhi Capitals, only to falter with consecutive losses, first allowing 235 to Lucknow Super Giants and losing by 33 runs, then being defeated by Chennai Super Kings by 83 runs in Match 67.
Mumbai’s story is quite the opposite. After a slow start to the month, they secured six consecutive victories from early May to May 21, ensuring a playoff spot. However, a seven-wicket defeat to Punjab Kings in Match 69 prevented a top-two finish and ended their winning streak.
The narrative should be dominated by batting strength. Gujarat features the top two run-scorers of the tournament: Sai Sudharsan with 679 and Shubman Gill with 649, while Suryakumar Yadav has amassed 640 for Mumbai. In bowling, Prasidh Krishna leads the Titans with 23 wickets, supported by left-arm spinner Sai Kishore with 17, but the overall Purple Cap race is led by CSK’s Noor Ahmad with 24. Mumbai relies on Trent Boult’s new-ball skills with 19 strikes and Jasprit Bumrah’s excellent closing abilities.
Gujarat has an advantage in head-to-head with five wins in seven meetings, including both matches at neutral venues last season. Still, Mumbai’s recent performance and playoff experience level the psychological playing field.

Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Prediction
The market reflects Mumbai’s momentum and the star appeal of Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah, yet their loss to Punjab Kings revealed lingering vulnerability in the middle overs. The Titans approach the game after two substantial defeats but still have the season’s most effective top order and a bowling unit suited for slow pitches. The key factor is whether Gujarat can neutralize Bumrah early; Sudharsan and Gill have eight fifty-plus
