The Women’s Premier League (WPL) season has reached the final leg of its venues with an epic clash between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants set to take place at the iconic Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

Both the teams have qualified for the play-offs of the tournament and have seen the return of seasoned players back in form over the past few matches.

For the home side, skipper Harmanpreet’s long stand on the crease and all-round abilities of players such as Hayley Matthews and Amelia Kerr will be instrumental in securing a win for the team. The Giants, on the other hand, will rely on performances from Harleen Deol, skipper Ashleigh Gardner and Deandra Dottin to end their regular season with a win.

Brabourne Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai is renowned as a batter’s paradise, where runs are expected to flow freely as the innings progress, especially under the lights. The conditions are likely to favour the batters as the evening sets in, but the dew factor could become a significant element, making it challenging for bowlers to grip the ball and thereby increasing the likelihood of teams opting to chase.

Furthermore, the pitch tends to favour spinners more than pacers, with spinners. Given these factors, it’s reasonable to assume that the team winning the toss would likely choose to bowl first, se??eking to exploit the dew advantage and the challenging conditions for the bowlers later in the game.

The highly anticipated semifinal match between South Africa and New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is set to take place on March 5 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore?.

They boast a strong batting lineup and a potent bowling attack, which has been performing well throughout the tournament. Key players such as Aiden Markram, David Miller, Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi are expected to play crucial roles in the match.

New Zealand, captained by Mitchell Santner, finished second in Group B with four points. Despite mixed results, they possess a talented squad capable of turning the tables on any given day. Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, and Glenn Phillips will be pivotal in the batting department, while Kyle Jamieson and Matt Henry will lead the bowling charge. The Black Caps are known fo?r their ability to perform under pressure, making them a formidable opponent.

Match Details: ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Semifinal 2

• Date and Time: March 5, 02:30 pm (IST)/ 09:00 am (GMT)/ 01:00 pm (Local)
• Venue: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

Gaddafi Stadium Pitch Report:

Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore?? is known for its batting-friendly conditions, offering consistent pace and bounce. The pitch favours batters, particularly in limited-overs cricket, with minimal seam movement for fast bowlers. Spinners, especially leg-spinners, might find some assistance as the game progresses. The average first innings score in ODIs at this venue is around 253 runs, but recent Champions Trophy matches have seen e?ven higher totals. Given the batting-friendly conditions, both teams might opt to bat first to set a commanding total. However, considering the potential dew factor in the evening, which can make it difficult for spinners to grip the ball, teams might also consider bowling first to exploit this condition.

Sri Lanka Women tour of New Zealand 2024: 1st ODI

• Date and Time: March 4; 02:00 pm local/ 6:30 am IST/01:00 am GMT
• Venue: McLean Park, Napier

McLean Park Pitch Report

Nestled in Hawke’s Bay on the eastern coast of New Zealand’s North Island, Napier is renowned for its dry climate. This lack of moisture means McLean Park’s pitch tends to be incredibly batting-friendly, offering little of the bounce and movement seen at other New Zealand venues. Known for its high-scoring nature, McLean Park ranks among the world’s top grounds for limited-overs cricket, where big totals are often expected. The surface remains true and flat early on, providing the batters with plenty of opportunities to score. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, subtly aiding spinners and requiring batters to adjust their approach. Despite this, the overall conditions make it a favorite for those who enjoy attacking cricket.

NZ-W vs SL-W Dream11 Prediction Picks:

• Wicketkeepers: Anushka Sanjeewani, Isabella Gaze
• Batters: Harshitha Samarawickrama, Maddy Green
• All-rounders: Suzie Bates, Chamari Athapaththu, Jess Kerr, Kavisha Dilhari
