GT vs MI, IPL 2023: Toss result and playing XIs for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 35th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday (April 25). Defending champions GT have had a reasonably good campaign, winning four of their six games, while MI have won and lost three.

In their previous encounter, Gujarat registered a come-from-behind win over Lucknow Super Giants. Having posted only 135-6 batting first, GT were on the back foot for most of the game. However, LSG choked in shocking fashion to finish on 128-7. The equation came down to Lucknow needing 12 off the last over, but Mohit Sharma did a fabulous job under pressure.

Meanwhile, Mumbai’s three-game winning streak came to an end with a 13-run loss to Punjab Kings. Their bowling suffered in the wake of an onslaught from Punjab’s batters. Sam Curran and Co. posted 214-8, scoring 96 runs in the last five overs. In response, Mumbai were restricted to 201-6. It was a good batting effort but not good enough on the day given how their bowlers fared.

Today's GT vs MI pitch report

According to Deep Dasgupta and Matthew Hayden, it's unusually humid. The wicket is moist and not tacky in any way, but it certainly has some moisture.

Faster bowlers could come into play in the powerplay. Even though it's red soil, it'll bounce traditionally, but it might grip a little bit because of the extra moisture. The batters through the middle could find it difficult.
