WPL 2023: Dominant Mumbai Indians hammer Gujarat Giants by 143 runs to get inaugural edition underway

Firstpost  

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur led from the front with a 30-ball 65 as Mumbai Indians posted a mammoth 207/5 on the board before their disciplined bowling and fielding ensured Gujarat Giants could only muster 64 in response. Mumbai: In a mismatch of epic proportions, Mumbai Indians crushed Gujarat Giants by 143 runs to stamp their authority with an all-round show as the Women’s Premier League got underway in Mumbai on Saturday. After posting a mammoth 207/5, powered by captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s sensational 30-ball 65 laced with 14 boundaries, Mumbai Indians’ bowlers led by Saika Ishaque produced a superb show to restrict Gujarat Giants to just 64/9 in 15.1 overs and make a dream start to the competition. Mumbai Indians not only dominated Gujarat Giants right from the start but also showcased their aggressive style of play both with the bat and the ball in the first game itself, delighting a fairly-packed crowd. Earlier in the game, Gujarat Giants’ skipper Mooney decided to take up wicketkeeping duties something which she hasn’t done regularly in her career and invited Mumbai Indians to bat after winning the toss.
