Mumbai Beat Titans, Set Up Qualifier 2 with Punjab

Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Gujarat Titans (GT) by 20 runs in the IPL 2025 Eliminator at Mullanpur, posting 228/5 with Rohit Sharma scoring 81 and Jonny Bairstow adding a rapid 47. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya contributed late runs to set a challenging target. GT's chase was led by Sai Sudharsan's 80 and Washington Sundar's 48, but disciplined spells from Jasprit Bumrah and Richard Gleeson limited GT to 208/6. MI, missing key overseas players due to international duties, relied on the bowling partnership of Bumrah and Trent Boult. MI advances to face Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru already in the final. The team aims to become the first fourth-placed side to win the IPL title.
