This evening, Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the eliminator clash of the ongoing IPL 2025 season. The much-anticipated encounter will be played at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. 

Both teams have played an exceptional brand of cricket this season. While Hardik Pandya-led MI bounced back remarkably with a streak of clinical wins, the Titans have been nothing short of phenomenal across departments. 

Thus, with two in-form outfits set to collide, we anticipate a cracking contest tonight. Ahead of the high-profile clash, let's see how the surface at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur will behave during the match.

Is Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium's pitch batting or bowling friendly?

The surface at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur offered genuine assistance to the fast bowlers in the previous game between RCB and PBKS. Bowling first, RCB managed to bowl PBKS out for 101 runs, with Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar, Yash Dayal and Romario Shepherd collectively scalping seven wickets. 

Thus, if the same strip is used for the upcoming MI vs GT clash, expect the new-ball bowlers to extract some movement and extra bounce off the deck early on. So, the batters must negotiate the first few overs before shifting gears. 

The spinners might not get significant turn and could rely on accuracy to succeed here. As the wicket won't likely change its behaviour with time, expect the toss-winner to bowl first.
