Mumbai Indians Women and Gujarat Giants Women are set for a high octane clash in the Eliminator of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 on Thursday, March 13 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. With a spot in the final against Delhi Capitals Women on the line, both teams will aim to put on a brilliant performance in this clash of monumental proportions

Mumbai Indians Women secured the second spot in the points table with five wins from eight matches. However, they enter this match after a setback, an 11-run loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women where they fell short in their chase of 200.

On the other hand, Gujarat Giants Women finished third with four wins and four losses. Their previous meeting with MI ended in heartbreak as they fell short by just nine runs while chasing 180. Now, they have a chance to turn the tables and book their first-ever WPL final appearance.

Ahead of the exciting contest, let’s take a closer look at how the pitch at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai is expected to behave.

Brabourne Stadium Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The Brabourne Stadium has been an out and out batting track and another high-scoring game is on the cards. In the last match at this venue between MI and RCB, both teams scored over 185 runs each which highlights how true the surface has been for stroke play.

Expect a similar pitch in this Eliminator with a winning total likely exceeding 180. While pacers may find a bit of seam movement early on, the assistance will be short-lived. As the game progresses, spinners will come into play with the ball gripping and turning more, something evident in previous matches at this venue.

Batting first, teams will need to post a minimum of 180+ to stay competitive as chasing tends to get easier under lights. The spin-friendly conditions have played a major role in WPL matches at this venue with spinners accounting for 95 wickets compared to just 41 wickets for pacers. This trend suggests that spin bowling will again be a key factor.

Given the conditions, the team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first, taking advantage of the dew factor and favourable chasing conditions under the lights.
