Two teams locked in at 14 points, the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT), are set to lock horns at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday, May 6. The winner of this clash will climb to the top of the points table if they maintain an NRR higher than Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the current top-placed team.
It is a mouth-watering encounter, with both franchises ahead in the race to the IPL 2025 playoffs. While Gujarat have 14 points after ten games, this will be MI's 12th fixture, who have as many points from 11 fixtures.
GT, meanwhile, beat Mumbai in the fixture earlier. Now, the hosts will look to take revenge. But before the highly anticipated match starts, let us look at the pitch history and important stats for the Wankhede Stadium.
