What will happen if the GT vs MI IPL 2025 Eliminator match is washed out?
Gujarat Titans (GT) will face Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL 2025 Eliminator match at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on Friday, May 30. This will be a knockout clash as the loser of the game will be out of the tournament. On the other hand, the winner will take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Qualifier 2 and battle it out for a place in the final.
GT go into the Eliminator with defeats in their last two league matches against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) respectively. It's now do-or-die time for Shubman Gill and co. Ditto for MI, who could have secured a berth in the top two had they beaten PBKS in their last league game in Jaipur. They went down by seven wickets and now have to play the Eliminator.
In case of a washout in the Gujarat vs Mumbai clash in Mullanpur, GT will progress to Qualifier 2. This is because they finished ahead of MI on the points table after the league stage. While Gujarat ended the league stage with 18 points, Mumbai finished with 16. With Qualifier 2 scheduled for June 1, there is no reserve day for the Eliminator. Hence, a no result would signal the end of Mumbai's campaign.
