Gujarat Giants vs Mumbai Indians WPL Match Prediction

The addition of Deandra Dottin has amped up the dynamics of the Gujarat Giants massively. However, they have been heavily dependent on skipper Ashleigh Gardner so far in the first two games. GG have a tough task ahead of them in the form of MI, who have a 4-0 head-to-head record against the Giants.

Most of the Mumbai batters just didn't turn up in their opening fixture. However, the quality of the side is too good to fail again. Hence, we are backing the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side to record their maiden win of WPL 2025.

Prediction: Mumbai Indians to beat Gujarat Giants in Match 5 of WPL 2025.
