WPL 2025 Playoff Spots Locked: Mumbai Indians Women vs Gujarat Giants Women in High-Stakes Showdown for Top Spot

The Women's Premier League 2025 has reached its final leg, and the playoff spots are locked in. However, the upcoming match between Mumbai Indians Women and Gujarat Giants Women is far from a dead rubber, as it could determine the tournament's first finalist. Gujarat Giants Women have made a stunning comeback, winning three matches in a row to propel themselves into a fierce battle with Mumbai Indians Women and Delhi Capitals for the top spot.

For Gujarat Giants Women, a loss against Mumbai Indians Women means an Eliminator match, while a win by 17 runs or a chase in 18 overs could help them leapfrog Delhi Capitals on Net Run Rate, potentially entering the final directly. Mumbai Indians Women, currently third, can strengthen their position with a victory against Giants, but even a defeat might not shut the door on their top-spot ambitions. The team that unleashes the firepower of their batting will have the upper hand, as the flat tracks at the Brabourne Stadium will leave little for bowlers to dictate.

Both teams need to reveal their batting might, and there's no better time to do so than on Mumbai Indians Women's home turf. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side has experimented with pushing Amelia Kerr up the order, while Gujarat Giants Women might consider moving Phoebe Litchfield up the order. With the tournament now shifting to its most batter-friendly venue, the stage is set for a high-scoring encounter. The team that wins the toss might have a significant advantage, as dew is likely to play a role in the match. Will Mumbai Indians Women or Gujarat Giants Women emerge victorious and take a step closer to the top spot in the Women's Premier League 2025?
