MI vs GG WPL 2024 Live Score Updates: Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants will clash at Arun Jaitley Stadium with distinct objectives driving each team, adding an extra layer of significance to their encounter on Saturday. The defending champions, Mumbai Indians, find themselves in a fierce battle with Delhi Capitals for the coveted top spot, aiming for a direct qualification to the final. On the other hand, Gujarat Giants are fighting to stay alive in the competition, with their fate heavily dependent on the outcomes of other teams and results. Despite a winless streak during the Bengaluru leg of the competition, the fortunes of the Gujarat Giants received a significant boost in the previous encounter against RCB. A stellar performance by openers Laura Wolvaardt and Beth Mooney not only generated momentum in the tournament but also opened up various possibilities for the team. Given the nature of the low and slow pitch at Feroz Shah Kotla, teams batting first have experienced greater success. It appears to be another scenario where winning the toss and opting to bat could be advantageous. Gujarat Giants Squad: Laura Wolvaardt, Beth Mooney(w/c), Phoebe Litchfield, Ashleigh Gardner, Dayalan Hemalatha, Veda Krishnamurthy, Kathryn Bryce, Tanuja Kanwar, Meghna Singh, Mannat Kashyap, Shabnam Md Shakil, Lea Tahuhu, Sneh Rana, Tarannum Pathan, Bharati Fulmali, Sayali Satghare, Priya Mishra, Trisha Poojitha Mumbai Indians Squad: Yastika Bhatia(w), Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Amelia Kerr, Amanjot Kaur, S Sajana, Pooja Vastrakar, Humaira Kazi, Shabnim Ismail, Saika Ishaque, Fatima Jaffer, Keerthana Balakrishnan, Issy Wong, Jintimani Kalita, Priyanka Bala, Amandeep Kaur, Chloe Tryon
