The Eliminator of the ongoing Women’s Premier League 2025 (WPL 2025) will be played between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants. The game is scheduled to be played on Thursday (March 13) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.
The winner of the Eliminator will qualify for the final and will face Delhi Capitals. For the third season in a row, Mumbai Indians finished at the second spot in the points table. After winning five of their first seven league games, they had the opportunity to finish at the top of the table and qualify for the final directly.
However, the inaugural IPL winners suffered a shock loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and missed out on a final spot only because of net run-rate. They will now look to return to winning ways with a win in the Eliminator and book their place in the final for the second time.
Gujarat Giants, on the other hand, have qualified for the playoffs for the very first time. They finished at the third spot in the points table with four wins and as many defeats. They lost both their league games against Mumbai Indians and will be looking to avenge them by winning the Eliminator. As both the teams gear up for the Eliminator, we are taking a look at the weather and pitch report.
