MI-W vs GUJ-W Fantasy Cricket Tips

Scenario: Mumbai Indians Heavy Fantasy XI

Natalie Sciver-Brunt has gained her form with the bat in the last match. She has been in rhythm with the ball, and her all-rounder ability makes him a prime choice for the game.
After an off-game, Harmanpreet Kaur has regained her batting form in the match against the UP Warrioz. She has looked in decent batting touch from the beginning of the tournament and will be a player you would not want to miss for this game.

Scenario: UP Warriorz Heavy Fantasy XI

Grace Harris has played two off games in the tournament. A big knock must be around the corner for her, and her match-winning ability makes her a prime choice for the fantasy contests of the match.
Sophie Ecclestone is the number one bowler in the T20Is. She can bowl at any stage of a T20 game and can be effective for her team. Her regular wicket-taking skill makes Ecclestone a must-pick for the game.

MI-W vs GUJ-W Winner Predictions

The whole MI unit looked at their peak in the game against the Warriorz. They will be looking to maintain their spot at the top of the table, and a win in this game will be essential for them. On the other hand, the Giants need to all their games to stay in the hunt. So, both teams will be desperate for a win, but given that the Mumbai Indians are in form, it seems like they will pick up the two points from the match.

MI-W vs GUJ-W Top Player Picks

Nat Sciver-Brunt (MI-W)

The English all-rounder struggled with the bat at the beginning of the tournament. But in the last game, NSB regained her form. Also, she has been effective with the ball, which makes her a top choice for the game.

Shabnim Ismail (MI-W)

The South African speedster has been lethal with the new ball in the tournament. Her pace and accuracy have caused headaches for all the top-order batters in the tournament. Shabnim Ismail's current form makes her a very important pick for the game.

Beth Mooney (GUJ-W)

The Australian opener has struggled with the form from the beginning of the tournament. It was important for the Giants that Mooney gained back her touch. She did so in the match against the RCB, and GG managed to win the game. Mooney's batting form will be essential for the Giants' chances in the match.

Ashleigh Gardner has been in a good wicket-taking form in the tournament (Source: x.com)

Ashleigh Gardner (GUJ-W)

The Australian all-rounder has been the Giants' prime wicket-taker in the tournament. Ashleigh Gardner can also be a very useful batter in the lower order. Thus, her presence in the fantasy XI gives you the chance to pick up points in both innings of the game.

MI-W vs GUJ-W Differential Picks

Hayley Matthews (MI-W)

The West Indian all-rounder is finding it difficult to score runs in the tournament. Hayley Matthews can be dangerous with the bat on her day. However, she can also be very efficient with the ball too, making Matthews a good differential choice for the game.

Laura Wolvaardt (GUJ-W)

The South African skipper batted brilliantly in the last game. However, Laura Wolavaardt's inconsistency is a big concern. Her current form speaks in her favour, but due to her past history of inconsistency, she will be a risky yet high-return choice for the game.
