MI vs GG Eliminator, Match Details, Dream Team for Dream11, Probable Playing11s, and More.

It's do-or-die time! The Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Gujarat Giants (GG) will battle it out in the WPL 2025 Eliminator on Thursday at the Brabourne Stadium. One team has been here before, while the other is experiencing knockout pressure for the first time. 

Mumbai, a dominant force in the WPL, has made it to the knockouts in all three seasons so far. However, Gujarat is peaking at the right time and will be eager to break their losing streak against MI. History favors Mumbai, as they have beaten Gujarat in all six previous encounters. But cricket is unpredictable, and GG will take the field believing that this is their moment to rewrite history.

Pitch Report and Team Updates

Both teams are coming off a loss in their last league game, but their journeys have been quite different. Mumbai looked tired in their previous match, dropping catches and struggling in the field. This will be their third game in four days, adding to their fatigue.

Gujarat, on the other hand, lost to Mumbai by just nine runs two nights ago. Their Indian players are stepping up, reducing the pressure on overseas stars like Ashleigh Gardner and Beth Mooney. They will take confidence from their recent performances and look to finally overcome MI.

Expect a high-scoring contest at Brabourne, where captains usually prefer to chase. However, recent games suggest that batting first might be the safer option.

Key Player Battles

Harmanpreet Kaur vs Gujarat Bowlers: The MI skipper thrives against GG, averaging nearly 79 against them. With four fifties in six games, she will again be a key player.

Beth Mooney vs MI Bowlers: Gujarat's batting relies heavily on Mooney. If she gets going, GG could put up a strong fight. She will look to attack MI’s new-ball bowlers, just as RCB did in their last match.

Nat Sciver-Brunt vs Ashleigh Gardner: Two of the best all-rounders in the league. Sciver-Brunt leads the run charts this season, while Gardner is GG’s best all-rounder with both bat and ball. This could be the contest that decides the game.
