Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans, IPL 2025: Hardik Pandya’s Last Over Gamble Backfires As GT Edge Out MI To Claim Top Spot | Cricket News

IPL 2025 Live: GT seal the deal!

Coetzee and Tewatia have pulled it off for GT! Arshad takes a single off the final ball as Hardik misses the chance to run him out with a direct hit. Weird call from Hardik to give the over to Chahar. That no ball took away any chances of dragging this to a Super Over. GT take two points and top spot. MI now in a tricky spot with two games remaining. 

MI vs GT LIVE: We are back!

So, we are having a one over match. The revised score is 147, which means GT need 15 off six balls to seal the deal. Tewatia and Coetzee are ready to face the music

MI vs GT LIVE: Nehra-Tewatia furious!

GT head coach Ashish Nehra and Rahul Tewatia were not happy with the umpires as the rain had stopped but there was no communication from the officials to start the match.

MI vs GT LIVE: Some good news!

Covers are being peeled off! There is a bit of a concern as there seems to be a puddle on some part of the ground.

MI vs GT LIVE: Just in!

We are hearing the cut off time for a 19-over game is 12:25. In that case, the revised score will be 147. Some anxious faces in the GT camp while the MI players seem at peace

MI vs GT LIVE: Rain stops play!

Unfortunately, the rain has returned. The covers are coming on. DLS Par Score is 137 and GT are behind by five runs. They need 24 off 12 if the match resumes. However, the match has to be completed by 12:09 AM local time

MI vs GT LIVE: LBW!

GT batting falling like a pack of cards. 4 wickets have fallen off the last 17 balls. Ashwani strikes this time and Rashid has to walk back. Excellent review from Hardik. Replays showed it was pitching in the line of the leg stump

MI vs GT LIVE: OUT!

Hit him for a boundary, and he responds in style! Bumrah, you absolute beauty. Shahrukh tried to put Bumrah under pressure, but ends up losing the battle. The ball deflects off the back leg onto off stump.

M Shahrukh Khan b Bumrah 6 (6)

GT: 123/5 (16.4)

MI vs GT LIVE: Shahrukh finds the gap!

Bumrah misses the yorker and Shahrukh is on the money. Gives it all he has and squeezes it past extra cover for a boundary. It was right on the slot for him

GT: 123/4 (16.1)

MI vs GT LIVE: WICKET!

WICKET! Rapped on the pads, and umpire raises his finger. Rutherford reviews straightaway! GT have been rocked after the resumption. First Gill, now Rutherford. MI in dreamland 

MI vs GT LIVE: Bowled him!

Bumrah responds in style! The ball zips off the surface and it clips the front pad and then cannons into off stump, leaving it flattened. Timely blow from BOOM!

Shubman Gill b Bumrah 43 (46)

MI: 113/3 (14.5)

MI vs GT LIVE: Crunched hard!

Gill welcomes Bumrah back after rain delay in style! Second ball in, he crashed it away nonchalantly past mid wicket! 

GT: 111/2 (14.2)

MI vs GT LIVE: We have a restart time!

The match will resume at 11:20 PM local time. Covers are completely off and the MI bowlers are warming up

MI vs GT LIVE: Good news!

Rain has stopped but the covers are firmly in place. The umpires are walking out to the middle to have a chat with the ground staff. Hardik Pandya also having an intense chat with Mahela Jayawardene.

MI vs GT LIVE: Advantage Gujarat!

The DLS par score after 14 overs is 99/2 and GT are eight runs ahead. Last two overs have yielded 28 runs, thanks largely to Sherfane Rutherford. It’s official, the match has been delayed by rain. Not looking good for MI

MI vs GT LIVE: Rutherford on the charge!

Rutherford has just taken down Jacks to get the RRR down to just over 8. 15 runs off the 13th over. He is playing a blinder here. Batting hasn’t been easy but he is making it look like that. Advantage GT. Meanwhile, the rain has just returned

MI vs GT LIVE: WICKET!

Appeal for caught behind rejected! Ashwani and Rickelton were confident. In the end, Jacks convinced Hardik to take the DRS. UltraEdge returns with a clear spike when the ball is next to the bat. Excellent review from MI. The partnership is broken

Jos Buttler c Rickelton b Ashwani Kumar 30 (27)

GT: 78/2 (11.3)

MI vs GT LIVE: Gill survives!

Dropped! Ball pops out of Tilak’s hands and Hardik can’t believe it. Gill tried to slap it but it went straight up. Tilak ran in from long on and made an asbolute meal of it

GT: 77/2 (11.2)

MI vs GT LIVE: Drizzling harder now!

Ashwani Kumar has replaced Corbin Bosch as a concussion substitute. Meanwhile, the rain has intensified but the players are not going anywhere. 

MI vs GT LIVE: Relief for GT!

GT are five runs ahead now on DLS par score (53/1 after eight overs), thanks to Hardik’s marathon over. Meanwhile, Hardik has thrown the ball to Karn Sharma, who has delivered for his captain when the team has been under pressure.

GT: 58/1 (8)

MI vs GT LIVE: Dispatched into the stands!

Gill makes the most of the free hit! Hardik is bowling a marathon over here. He has already bowled eight with two to go. He misses his wide yorker and Gill smokes it over long off

GT: 56/1 (7.4)

MI vs GT LIVE: Crashed past cover!

Buttler finds the gap again! He is on the charge now. The chat with the umpire has certainly raised his game. Too much width on offfer and he stands up on his toes to slap it to sweeper cover’s right!

GT: 45/1 (7.2)

MI vs GT LIVE: Slashed hard by Buttler!

Half-tracker on middle and off, and Buttler crashes this past midwicket. No chance for the fielder to cut that. GT have the DLS par score in their mind. If the rains returns once again, the players might have to go off. GT are ensuring they are ahead of MI

GT: 34/1 (6.2)

MI vs GT LIVE: Rain returns!

Rain is back and the umpires are having a chat. One of the umpires even told Buttler that GT are behind on par score at this stage. MI have taken the strategic timeout

GT: 29/1 (6)

MI vs GT LIVE: Eye on the DLS par score!

As per ESPNcricinfo, “the DLS par score after five overs is 34 if GT are just one wicket down. 39 if they are two down.” However, the rain has stopped for now due to the breeze.

GT: 19/1 (4)

MI vs GT LIVE: Four runs!

Poor ball and Gill tickles it down the leg side for a boundary! does not try to hit it too hard and instead, helps it into the gap. Rare loose ball from Boult

GT: 18/1 (3.2)

MI vs GT LIVE: Match going on despite rain!

It’s raining for more than an over now. However, we are continuing as of now. There’s a strong breeze. Hopefully, it will take the rain with it. 

GT: 13/1 (2.4)

MI vs GT LIVE: Covers are ready!

It’s pouring down hard now! The ground staff is just waiting for the signal from the umpires. Meanwhile, it looks like the dust storm that had reached parts of Mumbai a little while earlier, has made its way to the ground too.

MI vs GT LIVE: OUT!

Boult strikes! Just a slight tickle and umpire raises his finger. Plenty of swing on offer. This was going away from Sudharsan, who decides to play it. Nicked and taken by Rickelton.

Sai Sudharsan c Rickelton b Boult 5 (5)

GT: 6/1 (1.2)

MI vs GT LIVE: Through the covers!

Sudarshan creams it! Genuine outswinger but it’s a bit overpitched from Chahar. He leans in on the drive and caresses it between extra cover and mid off! No stopping that

GT: 4/0 (0.2)

MI vs GT LIVE: We are back!

Gujarat’s chase is about to get underway! Deepak Chahar will bowl the first. The in-form duo of Gill and Sudharsan are having some chat. 156 off 120. Here we go!

MI vs GT LIVE: End of innings!

Excellent bowlign effort from GT as they restrict MI to 155/8. Shubman Gill deserves all the credit for his bowling changes and field placements. Will Jacks’ quickfire 53, however, gives MI chance to fight.

MI vs GT LIVE: Take a bow, Jos Buttler!

Jos Buttler has pulled off an MS Dhoni-like stumping! Excellent throw from the deep. Bosch puts on the after-burners but still cannot make it back as Buttler flicks it back to the stump

MI vs GT LIVE: Launched into the stands!

WHAT A SHOT! Clubs it over deep midwicket. Slightly short from Prasidh and Bosch hammers this into the second tier. Much needed runs for MI

MI: 143/7 (19.1)

MI vs GT LIVE: Rashid signs off!

What a spell! Rashid finishes off with incredible match figures of 1/21 from his quota of four overs. Flashes his fancy footwork with some football juggling. All looks good when you are bowling well.

MI: 129/7 (18)

MI vs GT LIVE: WICKET!

Another one bites the dust! Prasidh Krishna cramped Naman Dhir for room. Times it horribly and Gill takes an easy catch at mid off. MI’s innings has fallen apart. GT doing everything right at the moment

Naman Dhir c Shubman Gill b Prasidh Krishna 7 (10) 

MI: 23/7 (16.2)

MI vs GT LIVE: That seems painful!

Sai Kishore seems to have injured himself. He saves 2 runs for his team in the process. Gets taken off the field and might not field as GT might bring in their Impact Sub soon.

MI: 123/6 (15.5)

MI vs GT LIVE: Coetzee strikes!

Slapped straight to mid off! Coetzee makes instant impact. Sharp catch from Gill. Back of a length delivery hung up wide outside off and Tilak scuffs it straight to Gill. Coetzee roars in delight

MI: 113/6 (13.5)

MI vs GT LIVE: Bizarre from Hardik!

Hardik throws his wicket and MI have now lost three in quick succession! Flighted up generously on a length on leg stump and Hardik tries to swing his bat at it. Gets a massive top edge. Gill, who was at slip, runs back to take an easy catch. Hardik throws his wicket and MI are in trouble

MI: 106/5 (12.3)

MI vs GT LIVE: WICKET!

Jacks holes out! He was struggling to read Rashid, and the one time he connects, it ends up in the hand of the fielder at deep backward square leg. Well held by Sudharsan near the fence. MI lose both set batters

Will Jacks c Sai Sudharsan b Rashid Khan 53 (35)

MI: 103/4 (11.4)
