Game 16 of the ongoing Women’s Premier League 2024 will witness the clash between Gujarat Giants (GUJ-W) and Mumbai Indians (MUM-W). The match will be contested at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, on Saturday, March 9.

Gujarat have only opened their account in the ongoing season, outplaying Royal Challengers Bangalore by 19 runs in their previous outing. They have had a terrible start to the campaign, having lost the first four games, and are currently languishing at the bottom of the five-team points table. Mumbai, the defending champions, have overcome UP Warriorz in their last encounter. They are currently holding second position with four wins from six games.
