The Women’s Premier League 2026 has reached a crucial stage, and Match 19 will decide the playoff fate of two strong teams. The defending champions Mumbai Indians Women will face Gujarat Giants Women in a must-win encounter on Friday evening at BCA Stadium, Vadodara.
Mumbai Indians Women have 6 points from 7 matches and this is their final league game. A win here will take them to 8 points, which should be enough for playoff qualification due to their strong Net Run Rate (+0.146). However, a defeat could knock them out.
Gujarat Giants Women already have 8 points, but their qualification is not fully secure. If they lose this match, they may fall behind Delhi Capitals Women on NRR. Hence, both teams will go all out for a win.

Match Prediction – Who Will Win?
Both teams are coming into this match with momentum, but history strongly favours MI-W, who have dominated GG-W across all WPL seasons. While Gujarat Giants have improved significantly, Mumbai Indians’ experience and big-match players give them a slight edge.
Bowling execution will be the key factor, but MI-W’s all-round depth could make the difference in a pressure game.
Predicted Winner: Mumbai Indians Women
