MI-W vs GG-W Team Previews

Mumbai Indians Women

The Mumbai Indians were among the most consistent teams during the group stages and won 5 of their 8 matches. While they have the same number of points as the Delhi Capitals, they lost out on the top spot due to a lower NRR.

The Mumbai Indians will bank on its star-studded batting line-up to deliver a strong performance in this match. Amelia Kerr and Hayley Matthews will open the batting for the team. While Matthews has batted well in patches, Kerr will need to play better with the bat. Nat Sciver-Brunt has been in brilliant form, scoring 4 half-centuries in 8 innings, and is the leading run-scorer of the season.

She will be joined by Harmanpreet Kaur, Amanjot Kaur, and Yastika Bhatia in the middle order. Mathews and Kerr have bowled some excellent spells, picking up 14 wickets each, and are the leading wicket-takers of the tournament.

They will be supported by Shabnim Ismail, Sciver-Brunt, and Sanskriti Gupta with the ball.

Gujarat Giants Women

After ending with a wooden spoon for the past two seasons, the Gujarat Giants managed to put up a much better performance this year as they won 4 of their 8 group-stage games. As a result, the team finished 3rd on the points table and earned a place in their first-ever playoffs.

Rather than banking on any particular player, the Giants have performed well as a team and that has been their biggest strength. Beth Mooney has been pretty consistent at the top of the order and will look to give the team a strong start here. She has been paired with multiple partners over the course of this season and it remains to be seen who will join her in this match.

The others in the batting line-up include Harleen Deol and Ashleigh Gardner, both of whom are averaging more than 33 runs per inning. Gardner has been impressive with the ball as well, picking up 8 wickets.

The Giants will also employ the services of Deandra Dottin and Bharti Fulmali, both of whom can strike the big shots with ease. Kashvee Gautam and Dottin make up a strong new-ball pair that has picked up 19 wickets among themselves.

The spin department, led by Tanuja Kanwar and Ashleigh Gardner has been pretty solid as well.

MI-W vs GG-W Toss Prediction

6 of the last 10 matches played at the Brabourne Stadium have been won while chasing. Also, in 5 of the last 10 WPL matches, the team winning the toss has opted to bowl first. We reckon that the skipper winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first in this match as well.

Pitch and Conditions

The Brabourne Stadium usually offers a good batting track. The surface is true and offers excellent pace and bounce. While the seamers will get slight help with the new ball, the bowlers will have to be accurate with their line and length if they want to contain the opposition batters.

The outfield is pretty quick and the boundaries aren’t the longest. The team batting first will look to score at least 180 runs to give their bowlers some chance at defending the target.

The weather in Mumbai is likely to be warm and humid with temperatures of around 30 degrees. There might be some dew on the ground during the second half.

MI-W vs GG-W: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Mumbai Indians W in winning this match. While the Gujarat Giants have played well to reach this far in the tournament, this will be the first time that they will be playing a knockout game. They do have some good players but lack a match-winner who can guide them through.

The Mumbai Indians have plenty of firepower in all departments and that gives them an advantage. The MI-W vs GG-W win percentage currently stands at 59% in favor of the Mumbai Indians Women.
