Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Giants Player battles
Sophie Devine vs Nat-Sciver Brunt
Both overseas all-rounders have looked in great form with both bat and ball in the early days of the tournament and are likely to face off during both innings, with Devine opening the batting and Nat Sciver-Brunt opening the bowling and both operating in the middle phase of the innings when Sciver-Brunt bats. The winner of the face-off will put their team in the driver's seat of the match.
Harmanpreet Kaur vs Georgia Wareham
The India and MI skipper will come into the GG clash high on confidence after her 74*(42) against Delhi Capitals, where she carried the bat and the leg spin of Georgia Wareham could come in handy for GG, considering she has dismissed Kaur four times previously and the batter has in general gotten out to leggies in 17/61 T20I and 9/42 T20 innings.
Ashleigh Gardner vs Nicola Carey
GG skipper and explosive batter Ash Gardner has played two handy knocks in the first two matches, getting 65 and 49, respectively. On the other hand, the medium pacer Nicola Carey has picked 5 wickets in two matches, while conceding at a high economy of 9 runs per over. How the duo fares against each other could determine which team has an upper hand in the game.

Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Giants toss prediction
The WPL matches at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai, in the ongoing season has produced some high-scoring games already, with three innings going past the 200-run mark. While the surface gets easier to bat on as the match progresses after early seam and swing movement for the bowlers, the teams chasing have not been able to go past the finish line too often this season.
Irrespective of the chasing teams failing to win the games apart from the season opener, the team winning the toss is still likely to field first and back themselves to chase the target after two matches coming within the margin of 10 runs.
