Mumbai suffered a 36-run loss against Gujarat Titans (GT) in their previous IPL 2025 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Bowling first, MI gave away 196 runs. Skipper Hardik Pandya picked up 2-29, but the others could not make much of an impact. In the chase, Suryakumar Yadav (48 off 28) rediscovered some of his lost touch, but the others struggled on a somewhat sluggish surface.

Kolkata were clinical in their eight-wicket triumph over Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Fielding first, KKR's bowlers did an excellent job to hold RR to 151-9. The bowlers shared the spoils as four of them picked up two each. Quinton de Kock (97* off 61) then played a dominating knock as Kolkata cruised to victory in the chase.
