🏏WPL 2026: Match 19: MI W vs GGT W at Vadodara on 30/01/26🏏 - Page 4

Anjan: "Gujarat Giants chose to bat because they are confident about Divine intervention in the last over." -- Ha! Of course...

Soms: "Good evening here from Bengaluru. GG is the 1st team to opt bat 1st in this WPL. Great decision by Gardner. "

Monk: "I am surprised to know that Gujarat and Mumbai have played 8 times with each other and Gujarat is yet to win against Mumbai. I hope it changes tonight "

But there are times when a team sent to bat first has won the match in this season of WPL.

Jigar: "GG can still qualify even if they don't Win, Mi will be out if they lose today" -- Both can qualify even if they lose tonight. But they will need UPW to do them a favour by beating DC on Sunday.

7:29pm The umpires make their way out, followed soon by the MI players and a bout of fireworks. Mooney and Devine will open the innings, and this could be a very vital opening passage of play, given GG have opted to bat first.

Winner of today's game will qualify for eliminator. MI have 8-0 head-to-head record against GG.

First time a team opted to bat first after winning the toss in WPL after 40 consecutive matches choosing the bowl first since the 2024 final.
