The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 playoff stage has kicked off. This season’s Eliminator will be played between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants, with the winning team making it to the final against Delhi Capitals. Delhi Capitals have performed brilliantly in the league stage to top the table and have managed to reach the final for the third consecutive time. Under the captaincy of Meg Lanning, Delhi has made its mark this season as well and is set to maintain its dominance in the final which will be played on 15 March.
Mumbai Indians have finished second in the league stage with five wins and three losses. However, their last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) was disappointing, due to which they missed out on the first position in the table. In the match against RCB, Mumbai could only score 188 runs while chasing the target of 199 runs. Despite Nat Sciver-Brunt’s brilliant 69 runs, the team could not win. This defeat deprived Mumbai of the first place, but they still managed to make their place in the eliminator.
On the other hand, Gujarat Giants have finished third in the league stage with four wins and four losses. Under the captaincy of Australian all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner, Gujarat has shown its hard work and passion in many difficult matches this season. His team has proved its batting and bowling unit on many occasions. However, their performance has been a bit inconsistent, but in the eliminator, they are ready to give their best performance against Mumbai.
Cricket lovers are very excited about the eliminator match (MI vs GG) to be held at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on March 13. There has been a tough competition in the earlier matches between the two teams, and this time too the match is expected to be exciting. The Mumbai Indians team has the presence of players like Hayley Matthews, Amelia Kerr and Nat Sciver-Brunt, who can turn any match on their own. At the same time, Gujarat Giants depend on players like Ashleigh Gardner, Beth Mooney and Sophia Dunkley, who can play an important role in making the team win.
The biggest challenge of this match will be to maintain balance between the two teams. Mumbai Indians’ batting lineup is very strong, but their bowling unit sometimes faces challenges. At the same time, the bowling unit of Gujarat Giants has performed brilliantly many times this season, but their batting sometimes disappoints. In such a situation, this match will prove to be a big test for both the wpl teams.
Delhi Capitals reaching the final is proof that their team has been the most balanced and disciplined this season. Under the leadership of Meg Lanning, Delhi has performed brilliantly not only in batting and bowling but also in fielding. His team has won many important matches in the league stage and is ready to maintain its dominance in the final.
The result of the eliminator match will depend on which team performs better under pressure. Both Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants have experienced players in the team, who can give their best performance in big matches. This match will prove to be a memorable moment not only for both the teams but also for cricket lovers.
Now the question is, which team will make it to the final against Delhi Capitals? Will Mumbai Indians take advantage of their experience and team balance, or will Gujarat Giants create history on the basis of their passion and hard work? The answer to this question will be found on March 13, when both the teams will take the field against each other at the Brabourne Stadium and you can watch it live on Jiohotstar for free at 7:30 PM!
