The ninth match of IPL 2025 will feature a clash between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 29, 2025. Both teams are looking for their first win of the season after disappointing starts.
GT lost their opening match to Punjab Kings, falling short by 11 runs despite a strong effort from Sai Sudharsan (74 off 41) and Jos Buttler (54 off 33). Their bowling attack, led by Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada, struggled against a powerful PBKS batting lineup that posted 243 runs. MI faced a similar fate in their opener against Chennai Super Kings, managing only 155 runs. Despite a decent bowling performance, they lost by four wickets as CSK chased down the target with ease.

Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report:
The Narendra Modi Stadium is known for its batting-friendly pitch, offering consistent bounce and facilitating high-scoring games. With an average first-innings score of 160, the surface supports batters while providing initial movement for pacers, who lose effectiveness as the game progresses. Spinners become increasingly impactful as the pitch slows down during later stages, making them crucial in the second innings. The dry and hard nature of the pitch ensures a balanced contest between batters and bowlers. Captains winning the toss typically choose to bat first to capitalize on favourable early conditions, as the pitch tends to deteriorate in the second innings.
