Under Harmanpreet Kaur’s leadership, MIW will aim to continue that momentum and add another win.

Gujarat Giants Women have had a perfect start to WPL 2026 and are still unbeaten. At the top of the standings with four points, the GGW have given good performances with both bat and ball. Ashleigh Gardner’s side will look to extend the winning streak and stay firm at the top.

MIW vs GGW: Weather & Pitch Report

The weather in Navi Mumbai is expected to be stable during the match. The temperature will be around 26°C with haze clouds. There is no possibility of rain; the humidity will be around 47%, and the wind blowing at 14 km/h will promise undisturbed play.

The pitch at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy generally supports batters, especially in the first innings. However, the pitch can be slightly slow, and the dew factor in the second innings often makes it difficult for bowlers to grip the ball. Because of this, teams winning the toss may prefer to chase. Team balance and handling the dew will play a key role in this match.
