Mumbai Indians Preview

Mumbai Indians Women have maintained a strong presence in the WPL this season, securing five wins from eight games to finish second in the group stage. They carried that form into the Eliminator, where they convincingly got past Gujarat Giants Women, beating them by 47 runs after posting a massive 213-4 on the board.

Nat Sciver-Brunt has led the charge with the bat, amassing 493 runs at a strike rate of 156 across nine innings. She has been in sensational form and has struck five fifties this season, including a fine knock of 77 off 41 in the Eliminator.

Hayley Matthews, meanwhile, has provided solid starts at the top, adding 304 runs at 126.

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has played a supporting role, contributing 236 runs at 156.29. Her cameo at the end can be game-changing for Mumbai in the final.

Matthews has made just as much of an impact with the ball, claiming 16 wickets at an economy of 8.18. Amelia Kerr has also done a fantastic job with 15 wickets, conceding runs at 8 per over. Sciver-Brunt has chipped in with the ball as well, taking eight wickets at an economy of 8.17.

Weather Conditions

Batters at Brabourne Stadium will enjoy favorable conditions in the first innings as the ball comes on at a nice height to the bat. The stadium's short boundaries create plenty of scoring chances, but expect the pitch to decline markedly during the second innings overs when the ball starts to grip. Past 9 PM, an unusual sea breeze strengthens from the western stand, making slower cutters more effective and swing bowling less predictable.

As for weather, Mumbai is expected to have a clear, mild evening with zero precipitation threats.
