The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 season will kick off with Gujarat Giants facing Mumbai Indians on Sunday evening at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In the inaugural WPL edition, Gujarat Giants suffered a significant defeat against Mumbai Indians, losing by 143 runs in their first encounter. The reverse fixture saw a similar outcome, with Mumbai Indians claiming victory by 55 runs.
Heading into this season's opener, Mumbai Indians hold a favorable head-to-head record against Gujarat Giants, leading 2-0. This history gives confidence to the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Mumbai Indians.
However, Gujarat Giants enter the match bolstered by strategic acquisitions made during the auction. Their signing of Australia’s Phoebe Litchfield adds strength to their squad and raises expectations for a competitive performance.
