Mumbai Indians advance in IPL playoffs and knock out Gujarat Titans

By Canadian Press on May 30, 2025.

NEW CHANDIGARH, India (AP) — Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah provided the turning point as Mumbai Indians beat Gujarat Titans by 20 runs to advance in the Indian Premier League knockouts on Friday.

Bumrah took a miserly 1-27 in four overs, the one wicket being Washington Sundar in the 14th over to end his and Sai Sudharan’s 84-run, 44-ball partnership.

Sudharsan led Gujarat’s chase of 229 with 80 off 49 balls but he was bowled by Richard Gleeson in the 16th over and the pressure was too much.

Sundar scored 48 off 24.

Gujarat finished with 208-6 in reply to Mumbai’s 228-5, highlighted by Rohit Sharma’s 81 off 50 balls.

Record five-time champion Mumbai will play the Punjab Kings on Sunday in Ahmedabad for a place in the final.
