Rain created high drama in the 56th match of IPL 2025 between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans at Wankhede Stadium, flipping the match’s momentum more than once. At the 14-over mark, Gujarat Titans were cruising at 107/2, ahead of the DLS par score of 99. Had the match been called off then, GT would have emerged victorious via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.
However, after a rain delay, play resumed at 11:20 PM, and Mumbai Indians mounted a remarkable comeback. Gujarat collapsed from a dominant position to 132/6 in 18 overs, needing 24 more runs off the final 12 balls. As per the updated DLS par score at 18 overs, GT now find themselves 4 runs behindmeaning Mumbai Indians would be declared winners if the match ends due to rain at this stage.
Key breakthroughs from Ashwani Kumar—who came in as a concussion substitute—and Jasprit Bumrah turned the tide. Ashwani scalped Jos Buttler and Rashid Khan, while Bumrah kept things tight under challenging, dewy conditions.
With rain intensifying again and just 35 minutes left before the 12:25 AM cut-off, the outcome may hinge on weather. If no further play is possible, Mumbai Indians will win via DLS—a stunning reversal after being on the back foot earlier in the chase.
