Former Champions Mumbai Indians: Former Champions Mumbai Indians (MI) clinched their first victory of the 2025 Women’s Premier League (WPL) with a commanding five-wicket win over Gujarat Giants (GG), chasing down a target of 121 with 23 balls to spare at the Kotambi Stadium here on Tuesday.

MI’s chase started cautiously, with Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia facing a disciplined bowling effort from GG. Matthews managed an early boundary off Ashleigh Gardner but found it difficult to find fluency against Tanuja Kanwer’s spin. Deandra Dottin was introduced into the attack but struggled with her line.

Matthews eventually found some momentum, stepping out to Tanuja Kanwer to dispatch a full toss over square leg for four. However, she fell soon after, caught by Harleen Deol while attempting another shot to square leg, departing for 17 off 19 balls.
