Gujarat Giants vs Mumbai Indians Highlights, WPL 2023: MI-W Beat GG-W by 143 Runs

Mumbai Indians win by 143 runs! What an impressive win for Mumbai Indians and what a start to Women's Premier League for them. Though we witnessed a one-sided match but first half surely was an exciting one. More to look forward to as we advance in the tournament.

Mere formalities remain in the game but Gujarat Giants are trying to lesses the margin of the defeat. Remember net run-rate could come into play in the tournament later on. 

Gujarat Giants are going nowhere with this chase. They are not only six down but are scoring at just three runs per over. The required run-rate has gone past 15 runs per over.

Excellent start this for Mumbai Indians with the ball as well. Gujarat Giants are three down inside the Powerplay and the required run-rate has creeped up to 12.31 runs per over.

Beth Mooney and Sabbhineni Meghana open the batting for Gujarat Giants. They face an uphill task with a mighty required rate. Meanwhile, Nat Sciver-Brunt opens the bowling for Mumbai Indians and straightaway  picked a wicket. Mooney is retired hurt and Harleen Deal departs without troubling the scorers. Harleen Deol c Wong b Nat Sciver-Brunt 0(2)

That's the end of Mumbai Indians innings. A mammoth total by Harmanpreet Kaur's team and thanks to her quick-fire half-century, MI managed to go past the 200-run mark.
