IPL Match Today | IPL 2025 Schedule

In IPL match today, Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday, with the action set to begin at 7:30 PM IST. With both teams firmly in the playoff race, this high-stakes clash under the lights promises fireworks. MI, currently third on the table, will be looking to bounce back and reclaim the top spot, while fourth-placed GT will aim to leapfrog them with a crucial win.

In yesterday's match, Sunrisers Hyderabad hosted Delhi Capitals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, but the match was unfortunately washed out due to rain. Both teams shared one point each, a result that saw SRH officially eliminated from the playoff race, while DC stayed alive with 13 points.

Earlier on Sunday afternoon, Kolkata Knight Riders edged Rajasthan Royals in a dramatic last-ball thriller, winning by just 1 run in one of the most memorable games of the season. Batting first, KKR posted a daunting 206/4, powered by a fluent 57 not out off 25 from Andre Russell and solid knocks from Angkrish Raghuvanshi (44) and Ajinkya Rahane (30). In response, Riyan Parag nearly pulled off a miraculous chase with a stunning 95 off 45 balls, but fell just short as RR ended at 205/8. Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy held their nerve in the final overs to secure a clutch win for KKR.

In the evening fixture, Punjab Kings dazzled in Dharamsala, outclassing Lucknow Super Giants by 37 runs. PBKS unleashed their best batting performance of the season, amassing 236/5, led by a scintillating 91 off 48 from Prabhsimran Singh. Cameos from Shreyas Iyer (45), Josh Inglis (30) and Shashank Singh (33* off 15) added to the onslaught. Despite a spirited chase anchored by Ayush Badoni (74) and Abdul Samad (45), LSG fell short at 199/7. Arshdeep Singh’s fiery spell of 3/16 played a key role in Punjab’s win.
