Mumbai Indians Women Preview
Mumbai Indians Women have been one of the standout teams in the tournament, thanks to their explosive batting lineup and disciplined bowling attack. The top four—Hayley Matthews, Amelia Kerr, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and captain Harmanpreet Kaur—have consistently delivered under pressure. In their last game against UP Warriorz, Matthews (68 runs) and Sciver-Brunt (38 runs) played crucial roles in chasing down 151 with ease. Amelia Kerr’s sensational spell of 5/38 showcased her ability to dismantle oppositions single-handedly. The team’s depth and balance make them formidable opponents. Expect Matthews and Kerr to lead the charge once again.
Gujarat Giants Women Preview
Gujarat Giants Women have been equally impressive, winning their last three matches convincingly. Their recent victory over Delhi Capitals Women—a five-wicket win with only three balls to spare—highlighted their resilience. Beth Mooney (44 runs) and Harleen Deol (70* runs) anchored the chase, while Meghna Singh (3/35) and Deandra Dottin (2/37) shone with the ball. Captain Ashleigh Gardner and Phoebe Litchfield add further firepower to the batting lineup, ensuring depth and flexibility.
