MI-W vs GG-W, WPL 2025 Eliminator: Mumbai Indians Women will face Delhi Capitals in the WPL 2025 Final. Harmanpreet Kaur-led side crushed Gujarat Giants Women by 47 runs in the Eliminator. Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Burnt slammed 77 each while Harmanpreet Kaur hammered 36 off 12 as Mumbai posted 213/4 in 20 overs. Matthews and Sciver-Burmt added a 133-run stand for the second wicket. Poor fielding and five dropped catches by Gujarat players also did not help the side.

Gujarat Giants never had a comfortable time on the crease during the chase as they lost Beth Mooney, Harleen Deol and Ash Garnder inside the powerplay. While Danielle Gibson and Phoebe Litchfield 38 runs to steady the ship momentarily, once Gibson was dismissed, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Hayley Matthews was the star again. After smashing 77 with the bat, she bagged three wickets to complete the formalities. In the end, Gujarat were bowled out for 166 runs in 19.2 overs.

Brabourne Stadium Pitch Report

The Brabourne Stadium pitch is traditionally known for being excellent for batting. With a true bounce and good pace, the venue will favour aggressive stroke play, allowing batters to score freely. As the match unfolds, spinners may become more impactful as the pitch begins to offer some grip. Interestingly, there appears to be no significant dew factor expected, which can affect the second innings’ chase. This aspect might encourage winning captains to choose to bat first and aim for a substantial total.
