Mumbai, May 6, 2025 In a high-octane clash during the 56th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Gujarat Titans edged past Mumbai Indians by 3 wickets, thanks to a dramatic last-ball finish under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method at Wankhede Stadium.
Gujarat, chasing a revised target due to rain interruptions, needed 15 runs off the final 6 balls, which Rahul Tewatia and Gerald Coetzee managed to pull off in a nerve-wracking finish. The win keeps Gujarat’s playoff hopes alive in the fiercely contested tournament.
Rain Drama and Revised Target Set the Stage
Batting first after losing the toss, Mumbai Indians posted 155/8 in 20 overs. Will Jacks (53), Suryakumar Yadav (35), and Corbin Bosch (27) anchored the innings. Gujarat’s bowling was evenly distributed, with Sai Kishore taking 2 wickets, while Mohammed Siraj, Arshad Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Rashid Khan, and Gerald Coetzee chipped in with one each.
Chasing 156, Gujarat suffered an early setback with Sai Sudharsan departing for just 5 runs. However, Jos Buttler (30) and captain Shubman Gill (43) stabilized the innings, building a solid partnership. Rain interrupted play at a critical juncture, with Gujarat having scored 107 in 14 overs, 8 runs ahead of the par score, thanks to a quickfire innings from Sherfane Rutherford.
After the first rain break, Mumbai brought back Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah, leading to a mini-collapse as Gujarat lost 4 wickets while scoring just 35 runs in the next 4 overs. A second rain delay struck with Gujarat at 132/6 after 18 overs, now trailing the DLS target.
