𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 23, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 SRH’s powerplay dominance again rests on Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head’s explosive opening partnership.  Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SRH vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)  face off against Mumbai Indians (MI) at Uppal on Wednesday night in Match 41 of IPL 2025. MI had a rough start to the season but have now stitched together three wins in a row and climbed to sixth in the table. SRH are still struggling, with just two wins from seven games and no real rhythm to their campaign. Those two wins did come at home, though, and they’ll be hoping familiar conditions work in their favor again. That said, with the way MI have been playing lately, they go into this one looking like the more settled team. TEAMS PREVIEW Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad have had a rough run so far—just two wins from seven games. When they’ve come out on top, it’s been because their batters blew the doors off the opposition. But if the top order falls early, they tend to fold fast and never really recover. That’s what they’ll be hoping to avoid when they host MI. If Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head get going early, like they’ve done in a couple of games, it sets them up nicely for a big total. Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar follow, and while all three haven’t fired this season, there’s still confidence that Klaasen’s power game can turn up here. Aniket Verma has been a bright spot. He’s been clearing the ropes in the back end of the innings and doing it with a strike rate of 187. They’ll enjoy the batting conditions in Hyderabad, and MI’s bowlers are going to feel the pressure. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians have bounced back well after a rough stretch, stacking up three wins in a row to climb to sixth with eight points from eight games. In their latest game, they chased down 177 against CSK at home without breaking a sweat—getting it done in just 15.4 overs with nine wickets in hand. They’ve finally clicked as a unit, with contributions spread across the board. The top order—Rickelton, Jacks, and Rohit—still have their shaky moments, but are putting up enough runs up front. Rohit’s 76* off 45 against CSK was a much-needed return to form, and it sets a good tone going forward. The middle and lower-middle order have been where the real push is coming from. Suryakumar Yadav has been in prime touch—333 runs in eight matches at 55.50 and a strike rate of 162.43. He looked effortless in his last outing, smashing 68* off 30, and will be confident heading into Hyderabad. Expect more of the same. Tilak Varma’s been looking sharp too, with two fifties in his last three knocks. He’s another batter who can tilt the game. Towards the back end, Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir can cause damage if they get enough balls. Both are capable of clearing the ropes in quick time. Weather Conditions The surface at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is usually flat, but some of the strips used in IPL 2025 have played unevenly. Pitch number two, though, sticks to the usual Uppal script—it’s great for batting. Chances are the home team will go with that one. If they do, expect another high-scoring game. It’s a nightmare for bowlers with no movement or grip to work with. The ball sits up nicely, making it easy for batters to hit through the line. Add in the short boundaries, and we’re looking at a match full of boundaries and big hits. Conditions in Hyderabad will be warm and humid, but there’s no rain in the forecast, so the match should go ahead without interruptions. SRH vs MI Pitch Report If pitch number two is used for this game, expect runs galore as both teams will aim for at least 220+ totals. We’ve seen this surface twice already this season – the first time, Sunrisers Hyderabad hammered 286-6 while batting first and won by 44 runs. The second time around, they chased down 246 with 1.3 overs to spare. The challenge for SRH comes on slower pitches, where their batting unit tends to struggle badly as they’re not built for those types of wickets.

Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 17, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 The last two matches between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede have ended in solid wins for Mumbai. Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. MI vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis Mumbai Indians face Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede in Match 33 of IPL 2025 on Thursday night. Both teams have found some rhythm after stumbling early in the season and will be looking to build on recent wins. The pitch should favour the batters, and with the kind of hitters both sides have, a run-fest seems likely. MI might just have the edge thanks to the home advantage.  TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians bounced back in style after a patchy run, pulling off a thrilling 12-run win over second-placed Delhi Capitals. Batting first, they put up 205-5, and then held their nerve with the ball to keep Delhi to 193. This was the kind of team performance MI had been missing, with nearly everyone stepping up. Tilak Varma stood out with a cracking 58 off 33 — his second straight fifty — and with the next match at Wankhede, where he tends to do well, that’s a good sign. That said, the top order still hasn’t really clicked. Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton have had their moments, but haven’t delivered anything game-changing. Rohit Sharma is yet to find rhythm, so expectations around him are muted for now. Suryakumar Yadav has carried the batting so far. He’s collected 239 runs from six games at an average of 47.80 and a strike rate of 149.37. He remains central to MI’s chances. Hardik Pandya finding some rhythm again helps — he looked sharp finishing off the innings last game and paired well with Naman Dhir, who smashed an unbeaten 38 off 17. Pandya’s also contributed with the ball, picking up 10 wickets while going at 8.81 an over. Deepak Chahar has chipped in with five wickets and a decent economy. Boult continues to be dangerous with the new ball and in the final overs. Jasprit Bumrah had an off day last match, but his presence is still a major plus. Alongside Boult at the death, he gives MI a solid edge in closing out games. Santner has kept things steady in the middle, and Vignesh Puthur has quietly picked up six wickets so far. Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview After dropping four games in a row, Sunrisers Hyderabad bounced back with a bang, pulling off a wild win over Punjab Kings at home. They chased down a massive 246 in just 18.3 overs, losing only two wickets. Abhishek Sharma went ballistic, hammering 141 off just 55 balls – the third-highest score in IPL history. Travis Head chipped in with 66 off 37, and their 171-run opening stand in just 12.2 overs completely flattened the chase. This is what SRH can do when their top order clicks. If Abhishek and Head go hard early, they’ve got Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar ready to keep the scoreboard ticking and the boundaries flowing. Aniket Verma has turned into a reliable contributor – he’s been finding the fence in the middle and late overs and has an eye-catching strike rate of 183 to back that up. They’ll love batting at Wankhede, and MI’s attack is going to be under the pump. Shami and Cummins need to hit their stride fast – both have been off the mark lately, bleeding runs at moments that have hurt the team. Harshal Patel has been getting the job done, picking up middle-over wickets with his slower stuff and variations. Eshan Malinga has slotted in well too, always looking dangerous with the ball. Weather Conditions Wankhede usually offers a flat pitch that favors batters, but there’s often some early movement under lights, especially with a fresh ball. Fast bowlers can get a bit of help up top before conditions tilt toward the batters. Once that early threat is dealt with, scoring tends to get a lot easier. Spinners, on the other hand, don’t get much to work with—there’s barely any turn, and the surface doesn’t give them much grip. The deck should stay hard and true, which makes things tough for anyone relying on slower deliveries. Expect hot and sticky weather in Mumbai, but rain shouldn’t be an issue. MI vs SRH Pitch Report Wankhede Stadium typically produces first-innings scores around 170 on average. RCB set the IPL benchmark at this venue back in 2015, smashing 235-1 against MI. This season has seen extremes – 116 one match, then 221-5 the next. Given the ground’s reputation for high scores, however, neither side will feel safe unless they push beyond 200. Toss: To Bowl Chasing under lights is usually the favourable option at Wankhede, and both teams are likely to look to field first here.

Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​​​Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 13, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 7:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 The last time these two teams met at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi Capitals secured a 10-run win over Mumbai Indians in a high-scoring game. Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. DC vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Delhi Capitals take on Mumbai Indians at home in Match 29 of IPL 2025 this Sunday night. DC are on a roll with four wins in a row and now sit second on the table. They haven’t lost a game yet this season and look well put-together. MI, on the other hand, have struggled—just one win from five outings has left them in eighth place. Based on current form, Delhi clearly have the upper hand. TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals are rolling this season. Four wins from four, 8 points in the bag, and a tidy NRR of +1.278 puts them second on the table. Their latest outing saw them ease past Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 6 wickets, chasing 164 with 13 balls left. It wasn’t all smooth sailing—DC were struggling at 58 for 4 in the 9th over. Then KL Rahul (93* off 53) and Tristan Stubbs (38* off 23) turned it around with a ruthless 111-run stand off just 55 balls. Rahul’s been the game-changer—185 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 169.72. He’s been calm, calculated, and explosive when needed—exactly what DC needed to solidify their batting. Jake Fraser-McGurk hasn’t quite clicked yet, but anyone who watched him last season knows he just needs one clean hit to flip a game. Ashutosh Sharma is making sure the lower order doesn’t fade—his clean striking in the final overs has already tilted a couple of games. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians have had a tough run this IPL season. They’ve managed just one win so far and dropped four games, including a 12-run defeat at home against RCB while chasing 222. That said, they did fight hard in that chase—Tilak Varma smashed 56 off 29, and Hardik Pandya hammered 42 off just 15, but it wasn’t enough. One of MI’s main concerns is their inconsistent top order. Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton have had a few good moments, but nothing that really turned a game. Rohit Sharma hasn’t hit his stride either, so expectations around him are low for now. Suryakumar Yadav has been one of the few bright spots—199 runs from five innings at an average of 50 and a strike rate north of 150. He’ll be central to how MI go in this one. Tilak and Hardik finding form again gives them more options.  Pandya’s also been doing the job with the ball, picking up 10 wickets at an economy of 8.57. Deepak Chahar has been steady too, with four wickets and decent control in his spells. Boult continues to be a threat early on with the new ball. Weather Conditions The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium tends to be flat and quick to settle under lights. Expect a true surface where stroke-makers enjoy value for their shots, especially the square of the wicket. Spinners might get some grip as the game wears on, but it’s rarely dramatic, so expect batters to dominate the proceedings.  The weather in Delhi will be warm and humid, but clear of any rain. DC vs MI Pitch Report The average first innings score at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium sits at 170, but things got wild there last season. In just five games, teams crossed 200 eight times, with Sunrisers Hyderabad smashing 266-7 against Delhi Capitals—the highest of the lot. Another high-scoring game could be on the cards, though conditions this year haven’t offered many flat tracks. Both sides will likely aim for something in the 200-220 range. Toss: To Bat All five matches played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2024 were won by the team batting first. Going by these numbers, its clear batting first is advantageous on this venue.

Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​​​ Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 07, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Mumbai Indians have dominated Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede, winning eight matches while losing only three. Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. MI vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis Match 20 of the IPL 2025 sees Mumbai Indians (MI) hosting Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Wankhede this Monday. It’s been a bumpy ride for Mumbai so far—three tough losses and just one solid win at home. RCB kicked things off strongly with two convincing victories, but their momentum took a hit after a big loss to Gujarat Titans. Can Mumbai find their rhythm again, or will RCB bounce back and hand them another defeat? TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview It’s been a bumpy IPL season so far for Mumbai Indians. They’ve picked up just one win at home, while losing all three away matches. Their only real high point was the win over KKR at Wankhede, but away from home, they’ve been poor. In the last match, they fell short by 12 runs chasing 204 against LSG. Their top order hasn’t fired consistently. Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton have had their moments but haven’t done enough. Rohit Sharma missed the last game and hasn’t been in great rhythm lately, so expectations from him aren’t high at this stage. Tilak Varma couldn’t find the boundary at the right time in their last match, and that slow patch proved costly. But the Wankhede should suit his game better, and he might come good here. Suryakumar Yadav, on the other hand, has been excellent—171 runs in four innings, averaging 57 and a strike rate over 160. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru got off to a strong start with away wins over KKR and CSK. But things took a turn when they played at home for the first time this season, going down to Gujarat Titans. RCB batted first at the batting-friendly M. Chinnaswamy Stadium and posted a below-par 169-8. Gujarat had no trouble chasing that, getting there in just 17.2 overs and losing only two wickets. It was a tough outing for RCB, and they’ll want to shake it off quickly and get back in the groove. The top order is clicking well. Virat Kohli, Philip Salt, and Rajat Patidar have all looked solid. Patidar has chipped in twice already, and Salt should enjoy the surface at the Wankhede—expect him to go hard from the start and get a quickfire 25-30 runs.  Kohli loves playing here too, averaging over 40 with five fifties at a strike rate of 136. After a couple of quiet outings, he’ll be keen to make it count. Liam Livingstone, who hadn’t done much in the first two games, found his rhythm with a 54 off 40 against GT—the highest score for RCB that day. Further down, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David are reliable for late-over firepower. David was especially impressive in the last match, hammering 32* off just 18 and proving he can do real damage. Weather Conditions The Wankhede track is generally flat and run-friendly. Still, expect some movement for pacers under lights, especially in the opening overs with the new ball. Once batters weather this challenging start, run-scoring becomes much easier. Spin bowlers typically find little assistance here with minimal turn available. The pitch should be hard and firm, making life difficult for slower bowlers. Expect extremely sticky and warm conditions in Mumbai, though rain won’t be a factor during the match. MI vs RCB Pitch Report The Wankhede Stadium usually sees first-innings scores averaging 170. RCB holds the IPL record here with 235-1 against MI in 2015. Last season alone, four matches produced totals exceeding 200, including Mumbai Indians’ massive 234-5 versus Delhi Capitals. Considering how runs flow at this stadium, both teams will likely aim for 190-200 to feel comfortable about their chances. Toss: To Bowl The numbers favor chasing at Wankhede Stadium, with teams batting second winning 65 T20 matches compared to 54 victories for teams setting targets. This trend comes from a total of 119 T20 games played at the venue.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​ Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 04, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Lucknow Super Giants have dominated Mumbai Indians in the IPL, losing just one game to them out of six encounters. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. LSG vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis The 16th match of IPL 2025 will see Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) battle it out on Thursday in Lucknow. Neither team has been at their best so far, with just one win in three games. LSG endured a rough loss in their last home fixture, which could have shaken them a bit. MI, on the other hand, finally picked up their first victory and will be looking to build on that by pushing LSG to the limit. TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview After a dominant win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their second match, Lucknow Super Giants seemed to have found their rhythm. But their momentum took a hit when Punjab Kings handed them a crushing eight-wicket defeat at home, dropping them to sixth in the standings. Batting first on a good surface at Ekana, LSG could only manage 171-7, a total that Punjab chased with ease in just 16.2 overs. The loss exposed some gaps in their squad, particularly in the batting lineup. Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran have been carrying most of the burden, and when one of them fails, the rest of the unit struggles to step up. This was evident in the previous game, where Pooran couldn’t deliver, and LSG paid the price. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians finally got their first win of the season after back-to-back losses, delivering a commanding performance against Kolkata Knight Riders at home. Their bowlers set the tone early, rolling KKR out for just 117 on a batting-friendly Wankhede track. The chase was a walk in the park, with MI getting the job done in just 12.5 overs. Ryan Rickelton led the charge with a flawless 62* off 41, while Suryakumar Yadav chipped in with a blistering 27 off just 9. Surya has now racked up 104 runs in three games at a rapid strike rate of 165. Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya bring balance to the middle order and can shift gears when needed. There’s also Naman Dhir, along with all-rounders Mitchell Santner and Deepak Chahar, who give MI added batting depth. Weather Conditions The surface at Ekana Cricket Stadium won’t be the kind where batters can go all out from the start, but it should still offer plenty of scoring opportunities. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to lose some pace, making spin a bigger factor in the middle overs. Batting usually gets smoother in the second innings, thanks to the dew that helps the ball come onto the bat better.  Lucknow’s weather will be warm and humid, but with no rain expected, there shouldn’t be any interruptions to the game. LSG vs MI Pitch Report Ekana Cricket Stadium typically sees first innings scores around 166. During last season’s IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders set the highest total at this ground with 235-6 against Lucknow Super Giants, cruising to a 98-run victory. Interestingly, that remained the only 200+ score in 14 innings throughout IPL 2024. Judging by the opening match at Ekana in IPL 2025, teams will want to aim for 190-200 runs to feel comfortable defending their total. Toss: To Bowl Chasing will be the better option at the Ekana Cricket Stadium as batting becomes easier in the second innings when dew sets in. This is exactly what happened in the last game played here as Punjab Kings chased down a target of 172 in just 16.2 overs against LSG.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​ Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 31, Monday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indians both times the two teams met in IPL 2024, including once at Wankhede. Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians are off to a rough start this season, having lost both their matches and finding themselves at the lower end of the table in ninth place. Their latest setback came against Gujarat Titans, where they struggled to chase 197 and ended up with 160-6 in Ahmedabad. The batting unit, which is usually a strong point for MI, hasn’t quite clicked yet. Rohit Sharma is struggling for form, and there are no clear signs of a turnaround. Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma have looked promising at times but haven’t delivered a defining innings so far.  Hardik Pandya, meanwhile, found it tough to accelerate in the final overs against Gujarat, with slower cutters keeping him in check—something he will need to adjust to in upcoming games. On the bowling side, Mumbai have looked more settled. Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult will be relied upon to strike early, while Mitchell Santner and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are expected to keep things under control in the middle phase while picking up wickets.  Kolkata Knight Riders Preview After a disappointing start against RCB, Kolkata Knight Riders bounced back impressively, defeating Rajasthan Royals by 8 wickets. On a sluggish track in Guwahati, they kept Rajasthan to a modest 151-9 and comfortably chased it down in 17.3 overs. Quinton de Kock anchored the innings with a superb unbeaten 97 off 61 deliveries. De Kock’s return to form is a massive boost for KKR. He can take apart bowling attacks at the top and has the ability to bat deep. Having played plenty of cricket at Wankhede for MI, he knows the conditions well and averages 34 at this venue. Ajinkya Rahane could be another game-changer, given his experience here. He has piled up plenty of runs at this ground over the years.  KKR’s batting lineup has solid options, including Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, and Rinku Singh. Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who is expected to come in as an Impact Player, has already caught attention with his impressive performances and could be a game-changer in the upcoming matches. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is usually a flat deck with plenty of runs on offer. However, the ball does move around under lights and seamers will get assistance with the new ball in the first few overs. If batters can successfully negate that period, they can milk the bowling later on. Spinners usually don’t get much turn or grip here and since this will be a fresh pitch, expect it to be hard and the slower bowlers to be carted around. The weather in Mumbai will be extremely humid and warm, but clear of any rain interruptions.  MI vs KKR Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Wankhede Stadium is 170. The highest total posted at the venue in the IPL is 235-1 by RCB versus MI back in 2015. Last season, four scores over 200 were posted at the venue, with the highest being Mumbai Indians’ 234-5 versus Delhi Capitals.  Toss: To Bat Batting first is usually the safer option at Wankhede. In IPL 2024, four of the seven games played at the venue were won by the team batting first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 29, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Gujarat Titans have dominated Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium, winning all three matches played between them at this venue. Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. GT vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis 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. TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Titans Preview 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. Mumbai Indians Preview 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. Weather Conditions 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. GT vs MI Pitch Report In 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.  Toss: To Bat In the previous game played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the team batting first registered a comfortable win. Batting first, hence, seems to be to safer option here.

Gaikwad will anchor the batting lineup, bringing an impressive IPL track record—2380 runs in 65 innings at an average of 41.75 and a strike rate of 137. With two centuries and 18 half-centuries to his credit, he will be expected to set the tone at the top. Rachin Ravindra, who has been in excellent form, is likely to get the nod ahead of Devon Conway and open alongside Gaikwad. However, Gaikwad’s T20 strike rate of 131.90 compared to Ravindra’s 140.46 suggests a more measured approach early on, increasing the responsibility on the middle order to push the scoring rate. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians, tied with Chennai Super Kings as the most decorated team in IPL history, head into the 2025 season determined to bounce back from a tough campaign last year. Led by Hardik Pandya, they will be chasing a record-extending sixth title with a squad that blends experienced names with exciting new additions. The team will be looking to put past struggles behind them and make a strong push for success. The franchise kept its core intact with Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Tilak Varma. They also made big moves in the Jeddah auction, bringing in Will Jacks from England, Trent Boult from New Zealand, South Africa’s Ryan Rickelton, and experienced spinner Mitchell Santner. For their opening fixture, MI will be without Pandya due to a slow over-rate suspension from last season. Suryakumar Yadav will step in as captain. Although his recent numbers haven’t been great—averaging under 30 in his last 17 T20 innings for India—his ability to turn games around remains unquestioned. A strong performance here could put him back in form. Weather Conditions Chepauk is usually known to be a spin-friendly surface which becomes slower in the second innings. However, looking at the last season here, the pitch tends to stay flat throughout, and dew probably won’t affect how the game unfolds. The weather in Chennai will be hot and humid but clear. We will get a full game.  CSK vs MI Pitch Report Chepauk’s average first-innings score is 159, but recent seasons have seen a shift toward higher totals. In IPL 2024 alone, four scores crossed the 200-run mark at this venue. With the pitch favoring batters more than before, teams setting a target will likely aim for a competitive total in the range of 190-200 runs to feel confident. Toss: To Bat At Chepauk, teams that win the toss often choose to bat first. The wicket slows down over time, making it harder to chase later in the game. By setting a competitive total early, teams can take advantage of the deteriorating conditions and make life difficult for their opponents.

Rs 135, 000 Crore: Report Claims IPL’s Business Value, Says MI Not Most Valued Team, It Is…

The IPL 2024 was huge success for Kolkata Knight Riders, with the Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise winning its third title. IPL, overall as an entity, has grown manifold financially too in the past one year. Houlihan Lokey, a global investment bank, in its latest report has said that IPL’s business value grew by 6.5 per cent while its brand value increased by 6.3 per cent over the past one year. The report also said revealed the IPL franchises’ brand value and surprisingly the star-studded Mumbai Indians or Royal Challengers Bengaluru are not the most valued team.    “Houlihan Lokey, Inc. (NYSE:HLI), the global investment bank, today issued the 2024 IPL Brand Valuation Study, its comprehensive report into the business enterprise and brand values of the Indian Premier League (IPL),” a press release from the bank said. “According to the report, the value of IPL as a business has surged to US$16.4 billion, up by 6.5% (INR 135,000 crores), reflecting the continued strength and global appeal of the league. The stand-alone brand value of the IPL has increased by 6.3% to US$3.4 billion (INR 28,000 crores), over the past year.  “The title sponsorship for the IPL has been secured by the Tata Group for a further five-year period, from 2024 until 2028, for approximately US$300 million (INR 2,500 crores), paying approximately 50% more than the previous deal of INR 335 crores per season. This, along with last year’s media rights auction, reinforces the IPL’s status as a pivotal platform for esteemed brands seeking to enhance their value.”  The Report added that the most valued IPL franchise is Chennai Super Kings.  “In terms of valuation, despite failing to make it to the playoffs in 2024, with a brand value of US$231.0 million, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) continues to be the most valued franchisee, achieving a growth of 9% from the previous year. IPL 2024 winners, Kolkata Knight Riders, saw the highest growth, with a 19.30% rise from 2023,” the release stated.  Five-time champions Mumbai Indians are not even in the top three, when it comes to brand value, the report added.  “Ranked second in brand and business value, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) boasts a staggering brand worth of US$227.0 million. Winners of the TATA IPL 2024, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has replaced Mumbai Indians to secure the third place in brand value with US$216.0 million. “Mumbai Indians (MI), which is another immensely successful and popular team, closely trails in fourth place on the table with a brand value of US$204.0 million. With the return of its legacy player and new captain Hardik Pandya, MI has solidified its status as one of the most evolving franchisees in IPL history, paving a path to player trades,” the report said.  Topics mentioned in this article

‘Parting Ways With Rohit Sharma And…’: Ex-India Star On 2 Players Mumbai Indians Might Release

Aakash Chopra feels Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan might not play for MI next season.© BCCI Former India batter Aakash Chopra feels star batter Rohit Sharma and young wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan might not play for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the next season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). There has been an uncertainity over Rohit’s future at MI ever since he was relieved of his captaincy duties by franchise. MI appointed Hardik as captain for IPL 2024 but the five-time champions endured a disastrous season, finishing at the bottom of the 10-team points table. Sharing his views on MI’s possible strategy for IPL 2025 mega auction, Chopra suggested that Rohit might’ve played his last game for the franchise. He also added that keeper-batter Kishan might be released by the team due to his price tag. However, he suggested that MI might use the ‘Right to Match’ card on Kishan if needed. “I think they will let Ishan Kishan go. They might use the ‘Right to Match’ card because 15.5 crores is just too much money. I don’t think Ishan will be retained,” the ex India cricketer said on his YouTube channel. “I think Rohit Sharma has played his last match for the Mumbai Indians, whether he doesn’t want to be retained or the franchise lets him go,” he added. “Either way, I see them parting ways. I don’t think you will be seeing Rohit Sharma in the Mumbai Indians jersey again. That’s just my understanding. I might be wrong but I feel, either which way, Rohit Sharma will not be playing for the Mumbai Indians when you start the next season,” he further explained. The next assignment for Rohit will be to lead the Indian cricket team in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. India will face Ireland in their tournament opener on June 5. Hardik’s inclusion in the squad was a matter of discussion among experts but the selectors decided to show trust in the all-rounder as he was appointed the vice-captain.
