Mumbai Indians Women vs Gujarat Giants Women Prediction & Match Preview – WPL 2026

Mumbai Indians Women bounced back from an opening defeat to RCB Women with a 50-run victory over Delhi Capitals Women, and Harmanpreet Kaur will hope for more of the same. Nat Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet shone with the bat, and Shabnim Ismail was outstanding with the ball.

Amelia Kerr had a quiet game and will want to deliver alongside G Kamalini at the top. Nicola Carey, Sajeevan Sajana and Amanjot Kaur provide the middle and late order, and with Triveni Vasistha and Sanskriti Gupta the attack looks well balanced.

Gujarat Giants Women, under Ashleigh Gardner, have won both their games, the latest a narrow four-run win over Delhi. Sophie Devine was agonisingly close to a century and will open again with Beth Mooney, while Georgia Wareham, Anushka Sharma, Bharti Fulmali and Kashvee Gautam supply the finish. Their bowlers came under pressure last time, so early wickets from Renuka Singh Thakur and Gautam, and control from Devine and Rajeshwari Gayakwad in the middle overs, will be important against a strong Mumbai line-up.

Probable playing XI

Pitch report

Dr DY Patil Sports Academy generally offers a batting-friendly surface with steady bounce. Seamers may get a little help early under lights, but the pitch eases for batters and spinners matter in the middle overs once it slows. Totals of 160–170 are typical in T20s, with light dew sometimes helping the chasing team.

Weather

At 7:30 pm local time conditions should be warm and mostly clear at about 25–26 °C, with very little chance of rain and a light breeze, so uninterrupted play is likely.

Expected scores

• 1st innings: 150–165
• 2nd innings: 140–160
