Mumbai Indians Women (MUM-W) will square off against Gujarat Giants Women (GJ-W) in the Eliminator of the ongoing WPL 2025 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, March 13. Notably, these two sides have previously faced off against each other twice during the league stages, with Mumbai coming out victorious on both occasions.
The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side won five out of their eight group matches and finished second on the table. However, in their last league game against the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women, they suffered a narrow 11-run defeat while chasing 200 runs.
On the other hand, the Gujarat-based franchise managed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in three seasons. Under the leadership of Ashleigh Gardner, the team finished third on the points table after registering four wins in the league matches. Historically, Gujarat has managed to win just one game against Mumbai since the inception of the competition in 2023. However, they will be hoping to push the paddle a bit more in the coming game.
Pitch Report
The Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai offers consistent bounce and a good pace that favours high-hitting games, making it ideal for scoring runs in the matches. The surface is likely to support the batters but can turn favourable to the bowlers later as the game progresses. The team winning the toss will opt to bat first.

MUM-W vs GJ-W Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Nat Sciver-Brunt
It is hard to bet against Nat Sciver-Brunt with the form that she is in. The 32-year-old is the leading run-getter in WPL 2025, having scored 416 runs from 8 matches at an average of 69.33 and a strike rate of 151.82. The last two times Brunt faced the Gujarat side, she registered scores of 57 and 38, respectively.
Probable best bowler: Amelia Kerr
Amelia Kerr has had a terrific season as she tops the wicket-taking charts. In 8 matches, she has bagged 14 wickets at an average of 16.71. The New Zealand spinner has been an important member of Mumbai’s bowling attack. With the side aiming for their second WPL final, Kerr’s performance will be critical.
