The 12th match of WPL T20 is scheduled to play between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants Women on Tuesday, 14th March 2023 at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.

Mumbai Indians Women are coming to this match on the back of a massive win over UP Warriorz with a big margin of eight wickets. They lost the toss and were asked to field first. The performance of their bowling unit was good and they leaked 159 runs in 20 overs. Saika Ishaque had been outstanding in this tournament and she was also good in their most recent match. She picked up three wickets in four overs while she was charged with 33 runs. Amelia Kerr is the other bowler who had just been outstanding in this season of the Women’s Premier League. She also performed well in the previous match and picked two wickets while she was charged with 33 runs in four overs. Hayley Matthews was the other bowler who had a wicket to her name. She picked one wicket in four overs while she was charged with 27 runs.

Nat Sciver-Brunt, Issy Wong, and Jintimani Kalita were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket in the previous match. The batting order of Mumbai Indians Women is very strong and they had proved it in their previous matches. We saw the same in their previous match where they chased the target of 160 runs in just 17.3 overs. Almost all batters from their side put some runs on the board. The skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 53 runs to her name on 33 balls with the help of nine boundaries and one huge six. She remained not out till the chase of the target. Nat Sciver-Brunt also had an outstanding performance with the bat and put some runs on the board. She scored 45 runs while she faced 31 balls and smashed six boundaries and one huge sixes during her inning. Yastika Bhatia was the other batter who scored some big runs in the previous match. She scored 42 runs while she faced just 27 balls and smashed eight boundaries and one huge six.

Gujarat Giants Women lost their most recent match against Delhi Capitals Women by a big margin of ten wickets. They won the toss and decided to bat first but this decision did not work properly and scored just 105 runs in 20 overs. The batting order of this team is strong but had totally failed to give the best performance in almost each and every match of this tournament. They have some best batters of T20 cricket like Sabbhineni Meghana, Laura Wolvaardt, Harleen Deol, Ashleigh Gardner, Dayalan Hemalatha, and Georgia Wareham are part of the batting squad of this team. Kim Garth was the most successful and highest run-scorer in the previous match with 32 runs to her name on 37 balls with the help of three boundaries. She remained not out till the 20th over.

Georgia Wareham scored 22 runs while she faced 25 balls and smashed two boundaries. Harleen Deol scored 20 runs with the help of four boundaries while Tanuja Kanwar could manage to score 13 runs. Sabbhineni Meghana and Gardner failed to open the account on the scoreboard. The bowling unit of Gujarat Giants Women also failed to give the best performance throughout this tournament. They have the best bowlers of T20 cricket like Kim Garth, Tanuja Kanwar, Ashleigh Gardner, Mansi Joshi, and Georgia Wareham but no bowler from their side could manage to pick any wicket. We think that Gujarat Giants will make some key changes in the final playing eleven of this match. We have no doubt that Gujarat Giants are a strong team among all franchises of this tournament but this is also true that they had not performed well in this tournament. Beth Mooney is not available for some next matches and Sneh Rana had joined the team as her replacement.

The toss is going to play important in the result of each and every match of WPL T20. According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss will elect to bat first as chasing had been difficult in most matches of WPL.

The 12th Match of the Women’s Premier League is going to be held at the Brabourne Stadium, in Mumbai. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 180 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast for Mumbai is not good for this cricket match. There are some chances of rain in the region but we are hopeful that we will have a full match to enjoy.
