Beth Mooney is an international star and has been one for the most consistent batter in the international circuit. She has been in her top form in this WPL scoring 224 runs in 7 matches, with a top score of 96 runs. Looking at her caliber, Beth Monney will surely come back in this match with her ability to play big innings under pressure. If she gets going, she can be very hard for Mumbai to stop.
For Mumbai Indians, Amelia Kerr has been the key bowler since her inclusion in the 2023 edition. In just 6 matches, she has picked up 10 wickets with a brilliant best bowling figure of 5/38 against UP Warriorz Women. Her bowling average of 15.30 and economy of 6.95 makes her the most valuable weapon for Mumbai Indians. Her variations and control can play a big role in restricting Gujarat’s batters.
Both teams have been in great form this season, however Mumbai Indians are a better squad with a balance in all three sections. Mumbai have world-class all-rounders in Nat Sciver-Brunt, Hayley Matthews and Amelia Kerr who can change the outcome of the match in a matter of few overs. However, Gujarat are not an easy opponent this season, placed second on the Points Table of WPL 2025. But Mumbai Indians are favorites to win this match.
