Preview
Mumbai Indians Women will compete against Gujarat Giants in the 16th match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Following their victory over UP Warriorz in the previous match, Mumbai Indians Women are comfortably placed in second position on the WPL standings. Meanwhile, Gujarat Giants tasted success for the first time in the WPL season in their last fixture, defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore Women in a high scoring contest.
Pitch Report
The pitches in Delhi for the WPL 2024 have been very good for batting, which has allowed teams to post big totals on the board regularly. Therefore, it will be critical for Mumbai Indians Women and Gujarat Giants to aim for a total in excess of 180, which is quite higher than the average first innings score of 158 in the WPL 2024.
Team Analysis
Mumbai Indians Women
The captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Amelia Kerr have been the three of the top performers with the bat for Mumbai Indians Women in the WPL 2024. The bowling attack of the MI-W boasts the highly daunting Shabnim Ismail, who has been picking up regular wickets with her thunderbolts in the WPL, and the emergence of Saika Ishaque among the wickets is yet another positive sign for the team.

In their previous match, the opening pair of the captain Beth Mooney and Laura Wolvaardt, scored fifties for Gujarat Giants, to help them put up 199 runs on the board, the highest score of the WPL 2024 season currently. In their defence of the big total, Gujarat Giants were at their best with the ball, but the wickets at key stages from Ashleigh Gardner, along with the impressive fielding exploits, proved to be enough for them to achieve their first win of the WPL this year.
