WPL 2025: Harmanpreet Rues Batting Collapse After Delhi Edge Mumbai In Last-ball Thriller
Harmanpreet Kaur: Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur admitted that her team lost out on a winning position due to poor batting discipline as Delhi Capitals clinched a thrilling two-wicket victory in the second match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 at Kotambi Stadium. Despite a strong effort from Nat Sciver-Brunt and herself, MI failed to bat out their full quota of overs, which ultimately cost them the match.
Indeed, Mumbai Indians seemed well on course for a formidable total when Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet were in the middle. After being put in to bat first, MI lost a couple of early wickets, but Sciver-Brunt led the recovery with an outstanding 80 not out off 59 balls. She was at her dominant best, striking boundaries at crucial moments to keep the scoreboard ticking. Harmanpreet, too, played her part with a brisk 42 off 22 balls before a late-order collapse saw MI crumble to 164 all out in 19.1 overs.
Annabel Sutherland (3-34) and Shikha Pandey (2-14) were instrumental in keeping MI in check, striking at crucial junctures to prevent any substantial partnerships after the partnership between Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet.
