WPL 2026: Harmanpreet’s 82 Not Out In Vain As Gujarat Giants Seal Playoffs Spot (Ld)
But Harmanpreet Kaur: Eight straight defeats to Mumbai Indians and a rivalry that had become their biggest stumbling block – the odds were stacked up against Gujarat Giants when their decisive WPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians arrived at the BCA Stadium, Kotambi, on Friday.
The winner would go to playoffs, while the loser would have to wait till Sunday to see if they would be in the tournament or not. When it mattered the most, GG finally broke the MI hoodoo – becoming ninth time lucky by holding their nerve to script an 11-run win, their first ever against Mumbai, and punched their ticket to the WPL 2026 playoffs.
Opting to bat first on a sluggish pitch, GG posted 167/4, thanks to skipper Ashleigh Gardner’s 46 and Georgia Wareham’s unbeaten 44. The pair’s 71-run stand off 43 balls lifted GG past the 165-run mark, giving their bowlers a cushion to defend. MI faltered early in their chase as they slipped to 37/3 in seven overs.
