  • Mumbai Indians enter the contest in formidable form, having secured back-to-back victories against Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Giants. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur has been leading from the front, currently topping the run-scoring charts, while Australian all-rounder Nicola Carey has proved an invaluable addition with her contributions in both departments. The side is further bolstered by the expected return of star all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt.
