Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ninth match of IPL 2025 on March 29 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. GT will be playing their second match this season under Shubman Gill.
On the other hand, MI would like to make a strong comeback after losing their opening match of the 18th edition against the Chennai Super Kings on a tricky wicket at Chepauk. The GT vs MI clash will also see the return of Hardik Pandya.
Hardik Pandya’s return will further strengthen MI’s strong batting lineup. Pandya will play a crucial role in all three departments, batting, bowling, and fielding, and as a captain, to provide much-needed stability to the team.
As far as the combination of GT is concerned, the 2022 IPL champions were successful in buying Jos Buttler at the mega auction, which will add strength to GT’s young batting order.
This article will provide all the information about the pitch and weather conditions of the GT vs MI match in Ahmedabad.

GT vs MI, Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium, which is a red soil wicket in Ahmedabad, has historically been good for batting, with the ball coming nicely on the bat, and batters can trust the bounce and pace of the pitch.
The team that wins the toss prefers to chase on this wicket as dew plays an important role during the matches played in the evening. The team batting second won 6 out of 8 IPL games last year.
The highest score at this venue is 234, which indicates the fact that teams tend to go hard from the first ball of the match, with batters making full use of the relatively short boundaries down the ground.
Shubman Gill, in particular, loves to bat at the Narendra Modi Stadium and has an excellent record at this particular venue with at least one century in all three formats of the game.
Gill has scored his only century in T20 international cricket so far at this ground as the right-hander played an attacking innings of 126 runs against New Zealand in 2023.
Conclusion
GT would like to have a strong start to their campaign by winning their second match 18th edition of IPL, against MI, scheduled to be played on Saturday (March 29), and will hope for the captain Shubman Gill to lead from the front.
On the other hand, five-time IPL Champion MI will be itching to bounce back after tasting defeat in their season opener against CSK and make a strong case for winning their sixth IPL title to become the most successful IPL team.
