**Vadodara, India** – Mumbai’s women’s cricket team continued their winning streak in the Women’s T20 League, defeating Gujarat by a comfortable margin to secure a 5-0 victory and spoil Gujarat’s farewell game at their home ground. The match, played at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara, saw Mumbai chase down a modest 120-run target with relative ease.
Hayley Matthews, Player of the Match, starred with the ball, taking three crucial wickets in a strong bowling performance that saw Gujarat crumble to 28/4 inside the powerplay. Harleen Deol (32) and Kashvee Gautam (double figures) were the only Gujarat batters to offer significant resistance against a disciplined Mumbai attack, which featured eight wickets shared between the team’s four overseas players.
In response, Natalie Sciver-Brunt led Mumbai’s chase with a commanding half-century (57 runs), ensuring a smooth victory despite the loss of a few wickets. While Sciver-Brunt fell short of finishing the game, Sajana S and debutant Kamalini G guided Mumbai to victory with several balls to spare. Kamalini G, notably, hit a boundary off her very first ball.
Gujarat captain Ash Gardner acknowledged the disappointing batting performance as the key factor in their defeat, praising the efforts of her young bowlers and fielders despite the loss. Mumbai captain Harmanpreet Kaur expressed satisfaction with her team’s strategy and execution, emphasizing the importance of a strong start and the bowlers’ consistent performance.
