Mumbai Indians Women beat Gujarat Giants Women by 9 runs in the 19th fixture of the WPL 2025 season. Batting first, Harmanpreet Kaur’s quick half-century powered Mumbai to a 179-run total. In the second inning, Amelia Kerr picked 3 wickets as Bharti Fulmali’s 61 off 25 wasn’t enough to power the Giants to a win.

Here's how Mumbai Indians Women vs Gujarat Giants Women panned out in Mumbai:

Harmanpreet Kaur’s Blazing 50 Helps Mumbai Post Match-Winning Total

Mumbai Indians Women batted first against Gujarat Giants Women. Opener Amelia Kerr had an off day with the bat as she could score only 5 runs off 9 balls, losing her wicket to an unfortunate run-out. However, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet Kaur quickly salvaged the damage with a 49-run partnership for the third wicket.

While Kaur slammed a blazing 54 off just 33 balls, Nat contributed with 38 off 31 balls. With the stage set, Amanjot Kaur added a quick 27 off 15 balls to help Mumbai surpass the 150-run mark. Yastika Bhatia clicked the final blow, hitting 13 runs off 4 balls to power Mumbai Indians Women to a match-winning total of 179 runs at the loss of 6 wickets.

Amelia Kerr And Shabnim Ismail Destroy The Giants’ Batting Line-Up

Gujarat Giants Women's chase kicked off on a shaky note as Beth Mooney succumbed to Hayley Matthews on 7 runs. Kashvee Gautam’s promotion also didn’t help as the Giants lost their second wicket in the powerplay. 

While Harleen Deol was ticking the scoreboard with 24 off 17 balls, Amelia Kerr trapped her into LBW dismissal to break the momentum. Shabnim Ismail then got Giants’ captain Ashleigh Gardner on a duck, leaving the opposition in complete tatters. Gujarat Giants had only 54 runs on board when they lost their 4th wicket.

Bharti Fulmali’s Blitz In Vain As Mumbai Beat Gujarat

Despite wickets falling quickly from the other end, Bharti Fulmali kept Giants’ hopes alive. She played a sensational knock of 61 runs off just 25 balls, which included 8 boundaries and 4 sixes. Just when she was becoming a threat, Amelia Kerr sparked her magic. 

She forced Bharti to hole out to Kamalini, leading to the fall of the Giants’ 7th wicket. With the required run rate soaring, it was just a formality as Mumbai Indians Women bowled out Gujarat Giants Women on 170 runs, taking home a comfortable 9-run victory and moving to second place in the points table.
