**Bengaluru, India** – Mumbai secured a thrilling four-wicket victory over Bengaluru in a nail-biting Women’s T20 League match today, leaving the home crowd stunned but entertained. The match, played before a packed stadium, saw several twists and turns, culminating in a tense final over.

Batting first, Bengaluru posted a challenging 166/7, thanks to a top score from Ellyse Perry and valuable contributions from Richa Ghosh and Smriti Mandhana. While the innings started strongly, a mid-innings collapse hampered their progress. Amanjot Kaur was the pick of Mumbai’s bowlers, taking three crucial wickets.

Mumbai’s chase began explosively, with Natalie Sciver-Brunt setting the tone before her dismissal. However, a crucial 62-run partnership between Harmanpreet Kaur (who scored a half-century) and Amanjot Kaur steadied the ship. Amanjot Kaur’s spectacular hitting in the 19th over, including two towering sixes off Kanika Ahuja, swung the momentum decisively in Mumbai’s favor. Ultimately, 16-year-old Kamalini G finished the game in style with a boundary, securing a memorable win for her team.

Mumbai’s captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, praised her team’s unity and focus, highlighting Amanjot Kaur’s composure under pressure. Bengaluru’s captain, Smriti Mandhana, acknowledged their batting wasn’t at its best but praised their fightback and individual performances. Mumbai’s coach, Charlotte Edwards, lauded the team’s performance and singled out Amanjot Kaur and Kamalini G for exceptional contributions.
