🏏 IPL 2025 Eliminator: Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians – What’s at Stake, Weather Forecast & What If It Rains?

The IPL 2025 season has reached a critical juncture as Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in a high-pressure Eliminator match at Mullanpur Stadium in Chandigarh. It’s do-or-die time—the loser goes home, while the winner moves forward to face Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2.

🏆 What’s at Stake?

Winner advances to Qualifier 2 against Punjab Kings.

Loser is eliminated from the tournament.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have already secured their place in the IPL 2025 Final after a commanding win over Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1.

GT, who led the points table until recently, slipped to third after back-to-back defeats. MI, finishing fourth, also struggled towards the end, losing two of their last three matches.

☁️ What If It Rains?

There’s been speculation among fans: What happens if rain interrupts or washes out the match?

Here’s what you need to know:

Rain won’t be a factor: According to the latest weather forecast, there is very little chance of rain. The day is expected to remain hot and dry with temperatures ranging between 37°C (max) and 25°C (min).

No Reserve Day: The Eliminator has no reserve day. If rain does force an abandonment, Gujarat Titans will advance to the next round, owing to their higher position in the league stage.

That means Mumbai Indians would be knocked out if the match gets canceled.

Fortunately, the venue—Mullanpur—also hosted Qualifier 1 between RCB and Punjab Kings without any weather issues, and Friday’s game is expected to go ahead smoothly.
