Nat Sciver-Brunt and Hayley Matthews put on a show with the bat to set the Mumbai Indians Women up for a 47-run win over Gujarat Giants Women in their Tata Women's Premier League encounter at the Brabourne on Thursday night.Ashleigh Gardner called correctly at the toss and asked Mumbai to bat first. Harmanpreet Kaur and company made the best of the conditions and raced to 213/4. Matthews and Amelia Kerr traded the purple cap as they helped Mumbai restrict the Giants to 166 in 19.2 overs.
The platform they constructed set the stage for Harmanpreet Kaur to put on a clinic in batting at the death. The Mumbai captain smashed four sixes and two fours for her 36 runs off 12 balls to put her side in front at the break. "I think it was a really good game, you got a lot of value for your shots as a batter. We worked hard to ease the pressure off of us," Matthews explained.She found her range and punished the Giants for not holding on to the chance to dismiss her when she was on five. Matthews raced to her fifth WPL half-century in 36 balls. She finished the match with 77 off 50 balls. Her tally matched her WPL career-best total, an unbeaten 77 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2023.
