GG W vs MI W WPL 2026: Match 19 of WPL 2026 will be played today, January 30, between Gujarat Giants Women and Mumbai Indians Women. The match will start at 7:30 PM IST at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara.
Only two league matches are left in the tournament and two playoff spots are still open. Gujarat Giants come into this game with two consecutive wins. A win today will help them qualify for the playoffs. However, they face a tough challenge as they have never beaten the Mumbai Indians in the WPL.
Mumbai Indians currently have six points. Due to their positive net run rate, a win in this match could seal their place in the playoffs. MI-W have completely dominated this rivalry, winning all 8 matches played against GG-W so far.
The weather in Vadodara this evening is expected to be cloudy. The temperature will be around 29°C and humidity between 55% and 65%.
The BCA Stadium pitch has been batting-friendly throughout the season. Batters have scored freely, while bowlers have had limited assistance. Slower deliveries have worked at times, but evening dew has made bowling difficult due to lack of grip.
GG W vs MI W Women’s Premier League 2026: What to expect?
The GG vs MI WPL match is a virtual knockout. The winner of the Gujarat Giants vs Mumbai Indians game will qualify for the WPL 2026 playoffs and join RCB. The losing team will have to wait for the result of the Delhi Capitals vs UP Warriorz match on Sunday to know their fate.
Mumbai Indians come into this game after a strong win over RCB, powered by Nat Sciver-Brunt’s century. RCB’s late hitting from Richa Ghosh only helped their net run rate and did not affect the result.
Gujarat Giants narrowly won their previous match against Delhi Capitals. They survived a late assault from Niki Prasad and Sneh Rana. GG are currently second on the points table, but their net run rate is negative. A loss here could badly hurt their playoff chances.
This season, GG have been the fastest-scoring team in the powerplay, scoring at 8.73 runs per over. MI have a strong response in Shabnim Ismail, who has the second-best economy rate in the powerplay at 5.27 and has taken five wickets.
At the death, GG bowlers Kashvee Gautam and Ashleigh Gardner have struggled, with economy rates of 15.33 and 12.80. Sophie Devine has been more effective in this phase and has taken nine wickets, the second-most this season.
For MI, Amelia Kerr has been economical at the death with an economy of 8.00. Other MI bowlers have conceded more than 11 runs per over in this phase, so Kerr could be used more late in the innings.
