Mumbai Indians will take on Gujarat Giants in their fifth game of the season. MI has been on a rampage, winning four out of the four matches they have played. Harmanpreet Kaur, Hayley Matthews Nat Brunt, and Saika Ishaque among others have been top notch and if they can continue their form, it will be hard for teams to stop their juggernaut.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Giants are having a miserable tournament, winning one of the four games. They need a win in the coming game to stay alive in the tournament. The team need to bat better as they were bowled out for 105 in the last game.
The tournament has been a high scoring one as pitches have been belters. Once again a good batting wicket will be on display.
The weather will be clear with temperatures rising to the high 20s.

Mumbai are unlikely to change their winning combination while UP too should stick to the core of the team, with only a few changes, that too if a player picks up an injury or has a really bad game against RCB.
This will be the first game between these two teams

Mumbai have multiple match winners in the team and Hayley Matthews has emerged as the biggest of them all. Matthews has scored the bulk of the team's runs and has been among the wickets as well.
Nat Brunt has also contributed to Mumbai's success with the bat and ball. She is the team's second-leading run-scorer with 146 runs in four games. She has also taken three wickets.
Harmanpreet Kaur has stepped up as Mumbai’s captain and has played a couple of handy knocks for the team. In Mi's last game against UP, the team was under pressure when Harman came and played a brilliant knock of 53 off 33 balls.
Ash Gardner has been disappointing in the series but given her skills and the fact that she is an all-rounder and contributes both with bat and ball, she has to be in the team.
Laura Wolvaardt has been drafted into the team as a replacement for Beth Mooney. She didn't do much in the previous game but she is a quality batter and a lot will rest on her shoulders.
