Gujarat Giants – First innings
- 190 is still a pretty high score that will require some pursuing. Wolvaardt didn’t set off any pyrotechnics tonight since Matthews knocked her over early.
- However, Mooney and Hemalatha banded together and continued scoring runs at a rapid pace.
- They continued finding boundaries and didn’t let the opposition bowlers settle at all.
- Both were over their forties, had put on a 100-run stand, and were hoping to retire on a high note, but fell short against the flow of play.
- The MIW bowlers executed flawlessly in the final overs, resulting in a flurry of wickets. Fulmali’s cameo aided Gujarat’s case slightly, although they would be dissatisfied if the death overs were not used.
Mumbai Indians women – Second innings
- That was an effort for the WPL records from Harmanpreet Kaur; Mumbai had no intention of winning it from their current position, but Kaur had other plans.
- Chasing 191 to win, they got off to a good start, but things slowed down when Mathews was expelled shortly after the powerplay.
- Nat Sciver-Brunt was unable to start, and the asking price skyrocketed as Mumbai sought to dominate.
- Yastika Bhatia died for a well-made 49 when MI attempted to step on the gas. In other words, Mumbai needed 72 off 30 deliveries, and Harmanpreet Kaur delivered in style.
- This is a De Ja Vu for sure.
