Gujarat Giants Preview: Middle order do damage
After losing their opening game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Giants got their first WPL points of 2025 at the second attempt with a six-wicket victory over UP Warriorz. Chasing 144 to win, it was batters four, five and six who came through for the Giants, Ash Gardner’s half-century laying the foundations before Harleen Deol and Deandra Dottin finished the job with 34 and 33 not out respectively.
Mumbai Indians Preview: Aim to bounce back after narrow loss
Mumbai Indians lost out in agonising fashion against Delhi Capitals last time out and will no doubt be rueing getting bowled for 164 in 19.1 overs. Those five wasted deliveries proved decisive as the Capitals reached their 165-run target off the final ball of the match and with just two wickets remaining, leaving Mumbai now one of two sides still yet to pick up any points.
Gujarat Giants Betting Analysis
The batting of Ash Gardner is currently proving extremely profitable for Gujarat Giants with the Australian international top-scoring in each of Gujarat’s two WPL fixtures so far. In total, Gardner has racked up 131 runs, including 79 against RCB and 52 vs UP Warriorz. With that in mind, back the 27-year-old all-rounder via the ‘Team - Top Batter’ market to top score again her side.
Mumbai Indians Betting Analysis
Mumbai Indians have a star all-rounder of their own who has shone with the bat so far in Nat Sciver-Brunt, who is coming off the back of having propped up his side’s innings against Delhi Capitals with an excellent 80 off just 59 balls. The England ace is still yet to be dismissed by an opposition bowler in this year’s WPL and is well worth backing vs Gujarat to record another 30+ runs.
Gujarat Giants vs Mumbai Indians Expert Prediction
Mumbai Indians’ bowling attack is strong and more than capable of keeping Gujarat Giants quiet. The key is whether the supporting cast can contribute adequately enough alongside the likes of Sciver-Brunt and captain Harmanpreet Kaur to put Mumbai in a winning position. If they can, then Mumbai should be able to get their first victory of the campaign and are worth backing as appropriate.
