Mumbai Indians face Gujarat Giants in Match 5 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025. The game is at Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. Gujarat just had a great win over UP Warriorz. Meanwhile, Mumbai wants to recover after a tight loss to Delhi Capitals. This match should be thrilling.

Who Won the Toss Today? MI Opt to Bowl First

Mumbai Indians won the toss. Harmanpreet Kaur chose to bowl first to pressure Gujarat early. The defending champions made two important changes to their lineup. They brought in India U-19 stars G Kamalini and Parunika Sisodia for their WPL debuts.

Both players shone in the U-19 World Cup. So, they earned spots in the starting XI. MI hopes to turn their campaign around.

Gujarat Giants have kept the same XI. They will use the lineup that won against UP Warriorz. Ashleigh Gardner, in top form, will be crucial in Gujarat’s attempt to secure back-to-back wins.
