Follow UsThe Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 moves to Mumbai as Mumbai Indians (MI) take on Gujarat Giants (GG) in Match 19 of the season at the Brabourne Stadium. While both the teams have qualified for the playoffs, they can still make a push to finish top of the table and directly qualify for the final.

Matches 5 | MI 5 | GG 0
MI have never lost to GG in the WPL. However, GG are coming off the back of thre wins in a row and could get on the board against the 2023 WPL champions.
Nat Sciver-Brunt has been in top form with the bat, having amassed 209 runs at a strike rate of 148.55. She has also hit three fifties in six innings so far. You cannot look past the England all-rounder when it comes to taking charge and getting the team to a match-winning total,
With 10 wickets at an economy rate of under seven, Amelia Kerr has, without a doubt, been one of the key figures for MI this season. Other than weaving her magic with her wrist spin, she can also come in handy with the bat, as she has shown in the past.
Spin has been a key factor at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. In the WPL, nearly 70% of the wickets have been picked up by the spinners, doing so at an economy rate of 8.1 and striking once every 25.1 runs and 18.6 deliveries apart. The average first innings score in the WPL here has been 165.
There is no chance of any rain in Mumbai. So, expect a full game. The weather is expected to hover between 30-33 degree celcius.
