Gujarat Titans Edge Mumbai Indians in Rain-Impacted IPL Thriller

Mumbai, India – In a dramatic finish, the Gujarat Titans defeated the Mumbai Indians by three wickets on May 5, 2025, amidst a weather-affected Indian Premier League match that kept fans on the edge of their seats.

Batting first, Mumbai scored 155 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs, with Matthew Jacks contributing 53 runs. In response, Gujarat Titans reached 147 runs for 7 wickets before rain interrupted play, invoking the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method to adjust the target.

Just before midnight, the rain halted play, creating uncertainty for both teams. Gujarat was ahead when rain fell, but Mumbai made a strong comeback with 4 wickets for just 25 runs, turning an 8-run lead into a deficit of 4 runs. The match resumed, leaving Gujarat needing 15 runs to win in the final over.

In a tense conclusion, Gujarat Titans managed to chase down the revised target, leading to wild celebrations in their camp. Titans’ captain Shubman Gill said, “It was a tough game, but we stayed focused. Every run counted.”

Mumbai bowler Jasprit Bumrah had figures of 2 for 19, but a missed chance at the end denied Mumbai the opportunity to tie the game. Failing to hit the stumps from mid-off allowed Gujarat to secure victory.

This win not only marked the end of Mumbai’s six-match winning streak but also propelled the Titans to the top of the IPL points table, intensifying competition for playoff spots.
