The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side won five out of their eight group matches and finished second on the table. However, in their last league game against the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women, they suffered a narrow 11-run defeat while chasing 200 runs.
On the other hand, the Gujarat-based franchise managed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in three seasons. Under the leadership of Ashleigh Gardner, the team finished third on the points table after registering four wins in the league matches. Historically, Gujarat have never managed to win a game against Mumbai since the inception of the competition in 2023. They will be hoping to push the paddle in the coming game.
