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.

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.
