The wait is finally over, and the Playoffs of the Women’s T20 League 2025 are here! It’s do-or-die in the Eliminator as Mumbai and Gujarat lock horns for a place in the grand finale against Delhi. Mumbai had the chance to qualify directly but faltered against Bengaluru, and now they must take the longer route. The good news? They are playing at their fortress, Brabourne Stadium, and have never lost to Gujarat - a stat that will surely boost their confidence. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur will be eager to lead from the front, while the all-round brilliance of Natalie Sciver-Brunt and Hayley Matthews could be game-changers. Sciver-Brunt has been in scintillating form with the bat, topping the charts this season, while Matthews, along with Amelia Kerr, is the joint-highest wicket-taker, proving just how lethal their spin attack is. Shabnim Ismail's fiery pace has often provided Mumbai with crucial breakthroughs, and young talents like Amanjot Kaur, Kamalini G, and Sajana S have stepped up when needed. The inaugural champions were knocked out in this very stage last year, and they will be determined to ensure history doesn’t repeat itself. On the other hand, Gujarat is entering uncharted territory, making the Playoffs for the first time, and they have nothing to lose. Ash Gardner has led from the front with her exceptional batting, though her record against Mumbai is something she will want to fix. Beth Mooney and Harleen Deol bring stability to the batting, while Phoebe Litchfield and Bharti Fulmali add the firepower - Fulmali nearly pulling off a stunning heist against Mumbai earlier in the season. The ever-dangerous Deandra Dottin could be their trump card with her ability to turn the game with both bat and ball. Kashvee Gautam spearheads the pace attack, while spinners Priya Mishra and Tanuja Kanwer could play a crucial role. With Gujarat chasing history and Mumbai fighting to reclaim their dominance, this promises to be a high-voltage clash. Will Mumbai continue their unbeaten run against Gujarat, or will we witness a historic upset? Brace yourselves for an electrifying battle!
