WPL 2025: Skipper Harmanpreet's Brilliant Half-century Lifts MI To 179/6
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur: Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur led from the front with a fluent 54 off 33 balls, while Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amanjot Kaur played crucial supporting roles to propel Mumbai Indians to 179/6 in their 20 overs against Gujarat Giants in the 19th match of the Women's Premier League 2025, here at the Brabourne Stadium.
Mumbai Indians opened with Amelia Kerr and Hayley Matthews, facing the new ball from Deandra Dottin. The innings started with a wayward wide from Dottin before Matthews capitalized on a full delivery, steering it past backward point for the first boundary. The West Indian all-rounder followed it up with a six over long leg, ensuring MI had a solid opening over, collecting 12 runs.
However, the introduction of Tanuja Kanwer brought control as she bowled a tight second over, conceding only a single run. Kashvee Gautam then entered the attack and struck early. After a boundary from Kerr, an outstanding piece of fielding from Ash Gardner at mid-on resulted in a direct hit, running out Kerr for just 5 off 9 balls.
