Gujarat Giants vs Mumbai Indians
It's a battle between two powerhouses - on paper, at least - to start the inaugural WPL off. The big game is set to be played at Navi Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium, which saw packed stands - over 47,000 people - during the India vs Australia bilateral T20Is in December last year. The WPL opener is an evening game, from 8pm Indian time, with the opening ceremony starting at 5.30pm. That will feature performances from musicians and movie stars, including Kriti Sanon, Kiara Advani and AP Dhillon. Entry is going to be free for girls and women.
Harmanpreet loves having allrounders in her side and Mumbai have a plethora of them, such as Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amelia Kerr, Chloe Tryon, Pooja Vastrakar, Hayley Matthews and Heather Graham. They also have Yastika Bhatia and England's Issy Wong among the other internationals in their line-up.

"I am not sure there is much more pressure. I shouldn't be playing if I put pressure on myself to perform. There's nothing no one else can put on me more than I put on myself."
Gujarat Giants captain Beth Mooney brushes aside any price-tag pressure, having been picked up for INR 2 crore
"I think this is a great platform for all Indian players because we have been missing this tournament for a long time."
Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur is clearly hoping for the WPL to have a big impact on Indian cricket
