In match no-5 of the 2025 Women’s Premier League (WPL), Gujarat Giants (GG-W) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI-W) at the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday evening. Pressure will be on Harmanpreet Kaur and co following Mumbai’s two wickets defeat in their opening match against Delhi Capitals. Gujarat Giants on the other hand turned their season around with a convincing six-wicket win in the last match against the UP Warriorz.
Mumbai Indians have only themselves to blame for their defeat against the Delhi Capitals. First, they should have scored more than their eventual total of 164 runs, and second, the inaugural champions of WPL should have defended the total when DC needed 18 runs off the last nine balls. But it’s only the start of the season and MI have plenty of games to turn their season around for good.
