The WPL 2025 Eliminator is set for a high-stakes showdown between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Giants (GG) at the Brabourne Stadium. History, form, and squad strength heavily favor MI, but GG have shown the ability to peak at the right time. Mumbai Indians have won all six encounters between these teams in WPL history, and Gujarat will be desperate to change that narrative. This time around, the Ashleigh Gardner-led side has been better. Harmanpreet Kaur, meanwhile, would be desperate to get into the final and face the Delhi Capitals (DC).
