Who will set the final date with Delhi Capitals? Mumbai Indians or Gujarat Giants?
About 72 hours later at the same venue, Mumbai Indians take on Gujarat Giants for one last time in this WPL 2025. The two teams will lock horns against each other on Thursday for the Eliminator at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. It is now or never for both these outfits. While the inaugural WPL champions Mumbai Indians would want to make it to the second final in three editions, Gujarat Giants, who qualified for the play-offs for the first time in WPL, would want to make their season a memorable one by first winning the Eliminator and then setting a final date with Delhi Capitals, hoping to get their hands on the silverware.
