GG W vs MI W Match Analysis
The 19th match of the Women’s Premier League 2026 brings Gujarat Giants Women and Mumbai Indians Women to Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara, in a crucial mid-table clash under lights. With playoff spots tightening, this evening’s fixture carries significant momentum value rather than just points.
Gujarat Giants Women arrive with renewed belief after snapping a poor run, winning two of their last three games. Their thrilling three-run victory over Delhi Capitals Women showcased resilience under pressure, with Sophie Devine delivering a decisive all-round performance that steadied both confidence and tactical clarity.
Mumbai Indians Women, meanwhile, remain a powerhouse despite recent inconsistency. Their 15-run win over RCB Women, powered by Nat Sciver-Brunt’s unbeaten century, reinforced their batting depth and big-match temperament. However, occasional middle-order slowdowns and reliance on top-order dominance still present exploitable gaps.

Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara Pitch Report
Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara
The Kotambi Stadium surface has gradually slowed as the WPL 2026 season has progressed, offering early true bounce before becoming more spin-friendly. While stroke-making is encouraged in the powerplay due to a fast outfield, batters must adapt during the middle overs. Pacers can extract early movement, but spinners gain increasing influence as the pitch grips.
Weather Report
Clear skies are expected in Vadodara, with evening temperatures settling between 20–26°C. Humidity will rise as the match progresses, bringing a strong dew factor into play. Dew often makes gripping the ball difficult for bowlers, causing it to skid on and heavily favoring teams chasing, making the toss a potentially decisive advantage.

Gujarat Giants Women vs Mumbai Indians Women Team Preview & Squads
Gujarat Giants Women
Ashleigh Gardner’s leadership has become increasingly influential as the tournament has unfolded. Her calm tactical calls and ability to impact games with both bat and ball give Gujarat Giants Women flexibility across phases, especially when momentum swings unexpectedly.
Batting-wise, the structure revolves around Beth Mooney’s stability at the top, allowing aggressive partners like Sophie Devine and Danni Wyatt-Hodge to play with freedom. The middle order remains slightly volatile, but recent finishes suggest improved decision-making under scoreboard pressure.
Bowling remains Gujarat’s competitive backbone. Rajeshwari Gayakwad’s control through the middle overs, combined with Gardner’s wicket-taking ability, helps compensate for dew challenges. Their all-around depth enables matchup-based bowling rotations rather than rigid over allocations.

The batting lineup is stacked with match-winners. Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt provide explosive starts and insurance against collapses, while the middle order has enough muscle to maintain scoring even if early wickets fall.
