Gujarat Giants will be playing their third game of the season as they attempt to make the best use of their home ground. They have had a mixed record while playing at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara with a defeat and a win each in two games. Coming against Mumbai Indians women, GG W will attempt to finish their home leg on a high with a victory. MI W on the other hand lost their first game against Delhi Capitals Women. The champions from the first season would want to brush off the loss as quickly as possible.

The recent form of both teams indicates that they have each lost three games from their last five. The form of the two teams even though similar will impact the GUJ W vs MUM W Match Prediction. However, MI Women would be concerned about their losses leading up to this game. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side has lost three games on the trot with two of them coming in the previous season. GG W with a win in their last game bolstered their form in the last five matches.
Gujarat Giants Women’s have lost three of their last five games. Having finished rock-bottom in the previous two seasons, GG would like to match their tally of wins from the last two seasons. In both 2023 and 2024, they managed only two victories each. They would have a chance to match that tally only in their game of the season.
Like GG Women, the champions from the inaugural season too have lost three of their last five games. However, the concerning fact about their form is that they come into this game having lost three games in a row. Their last victory came against the same opposition in the previous season with a margin of seven wickets.
Gujarat Giants are yet to win a game against Mumbai Indians Women’s team. Such has been the dominance of the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side in the fixture that they have won the fixture in all previous meetings. The hosts would be keen to make amends for their poor head-to-head record.

Laura Wolvaardt, Beth Mooney (wk), Dayalan Hemalatha, Ashleigh Gardner (C), Harleen Deol, Deandra Dottin, Simran Shaikh, Kashvee Gautham, Tanuja Kanwar, Sayali Satghare, Priya Mishra

The GG W vs MUM W Match Prediction would be highly impacted by the performances of some crucial players. Both teams feature some of the best players in women’s cricket currently. Players like Laura Wolvaardt, Hayley Matthews, Beth Mooney, Harmanpreet Kaur, Ashleigh Gardner, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Amelia Kerr are some of the players who can change the course of any match single-handedly. How these players fare in today’s game would have a major say in the overall result of the match.
Ashleigh Gardner has had a great start to the WPL 2025 season with the bat in hand. In the two games she has played so far, the Australian all-rounder has scored 131 runs at a strike rate of 190. No other batter has scored even 100 runs so far. Being handed the captaincy of the team and batting at the Kotambi Stadium has suited the Australian batter. Playing against MI Women, Gardner would want to carry on with her form and could prove to be a match-winner for her team.
Seldom is there any match, where Amelia Kerr plays and she is not the best bowler on display. The Kiwi leg-spinner was unarguably the best bowler for her team in their first game. Even though the 2023 champions went on to lose the match, Kerr’s bowling was one of the positives for them. In her quota of four overs, she picked up two wickets while conceding only 21 runs. She would be required to put in the same level of effort once again if MI Women goes on to topple the hosts.
GUJ W vs MUM W Match Prediction: Chasing team to win the match
The Kotambi Stadium has proved to be a great venue for the batters. Even though going can get tough in the initial stage, however, the middle-order batters have enjoyed batting at the stadium. There have been dew as well at the venue which makes the job of defending a target even tougher.
