  • Nat Sciver-Brunt: The ultimate all-rounder; scored 70 and took 2 wickets in the last outing.
  • Amelia Kerr: Vital with her leg-spin; currently one of the leading wicket-takers for MI.

Gujarat Giants (GG)

  • Sophie Devine: The standout performer so far, fresh from a blistering 95 off 42 balls.
  • Ashleigh Gardner: Leading from the front with both bat and ball.

Match Prediction: Who will win?

Prediction: Mumbai Indians to win.

While Gujarat Giants are in the form of their lives and sit at the top of the table, Mumbai Indians have a psychological edge with a 7-0 head-to-head record. MI’s experience in high-pressure situations and their superior balance of world-class all-rounders (Kerr, Sciver-Brunt, and Carey) give them a slight advantage over the Giants in what promises to be a close contest.
