The Mumbai Indians are slight favorites to win this game against the Gujarat Giants and kick off their WPL campaign with a bang. Yes, the Giants have an incredible group of international players with the likes of Beth Mooney, Ash Gardner, Deandra Dottin, and Annabel Sutherland, but they seem to lack quality Indian players. Whereas, the Mumbai-based side has capitalized in this region with a solid group of Indian talent along with international stalwarts like Nat Sciver-Brunt, Hayley Matthews, and Amelia Kerr.
