IPL 2025 Playoffs: MI Secure Spot In Eliminator

Mumbai Indians had been on a hot streak and picked up consecutive wins that had kept them ahead. But their recent losses to the Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings pushed them down, and they have been in the eliminator match. One loss would kick them out of the title race.

The winner of the RCB vs LSG clash would determine the IPL 2025 playoff schedule. Bengaluru and Gujarat are still fighting for the Q1 spot, and it is yet to be seen who will capitalize on the chance to get the advantage.
