Head to head Last 5 Matches

• MI Women won by 7 wickets (with 1 ball remaining)
• MI Women won by 5 wickets (with 11 balls remaining)
• MI Women won by 55 runs
• MI Women won by 143 runs

MIW hold a psychological edge, winning all five previous encounters. Their most recent meeting saw Mumbai chase down a target comfortably (5-wicket win with 23 balls remaining). Gujarat’s inability to counter MIW’s all-rounders has been a recurring theme.

Key Players to Watch

MIW:

• Harmanpreet Kaur (c): The skipper’s aggressive batting in middle overs could dictate MIW’s momentum.
• Hayley Matthews: Her powerplay bowling and explosive starts set the tone.
• Nat Sciver-Brunt: A proven match-winner with bat and ball in crunch moments.

GGTW:

• Beth Mooney: The anchor of Gujarat’s innings; her strike rotation is vital.
• Ashleigh Gardner (c): Must deliver with both bat and ball to counter MIW’s firepower.
• Laura Wolvaardt: Her ability to dominate spin in the middle overs could be decisive.

Pitch & Conditions

The Brabourne Stadium surface traditionally favors batters, offering true bounce and pace. Spinners may play a secondary role early on, but dew in the second innings could make gripping the ball tricky. Teams batting first have averaged 160+ this season, making a competitive total crucial.

Tactical Insights

• MIW’s Strength: Depth in all departments. Their trio of Kerr, Sciver-Brunt, and Matthews provides flexibility in both powerplay and death overs.
• GGTW’s Opportunity: Target Mumbai’s middle-order vulnerability post-Harmanpreet. Shabnim Ismail’s pace and Gardner’s off-spin could exploit this.
• X-Factor: Gujarat’s Kashvee Gautam has been economical in the death overs (economy: 6.8). Her battle against MIW’s finishers like Chloe Tryon might tilt the game.

Prediction

MIW to Win (60-40 Advantage)
Mumbai’s historical dominance, balanced squad, and adaptability in chase-friendly conditions give them the edge. However, Gujarat’s recent resurgence and firepower in Mooney-Wolvaardt’s opening partnership could spring a surprise if they post 170+ batting first.

Key Matchup Alert: Hayley Matthews vs Laura Wolvaardt – A duel between two openers who thrive on timing. The winner of this battle might decide the game’s fate.

Expect a high-scoring thriller with MIW clinching a playoff berth, but GGTW’s hunger ensures no room for complacency.
