Match Ended   
126/9 (20.0/20)
129/5 (18.1/20)
Mumbai Indians beat Gujarat Giants by 5 wickets
Right then, the first weekend of the 2024 edition of the Women's T20 League is done and we have witnessed three brilliant games, with the first two being last-ball thrillers. A new week now begins and first up it is a game between Delhi and UP on Monday, 26 February. That game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Amelia Kerr is the Player of the Match for her brilliant all-round showing. Kerr says that when you are bowling later on in the innings, you can either get hit for runs or pick up wickets and just tried a few variations. She then applauds Shabnim Ismail's early spell that kept them on top. On the googly, she says she has tried to develop it a lot, and especially in T20 cricket it can be useful. Adds that with the bat, it was just about playing good cricketing shots and backing herself. Mentions that Mumbai is an amazing franchise to play for and an amazing bunch of talented players, all of whom can step up at any given time.
Harmanpreet Kaur, the skipper of Mumbai says they have a well-balanced side and so many talented all-rounders make it easier for the team. Adds that Shabnim Ismail does well for the side whenever she gets a chance and has received good support from the others. States that with such depth in the bowling lineup, she needs to pick the best ones and they get things done. Concludes that the top order will get a hang of things and come good going ahead in the tournament.
The Presentation ceremony...
Shabnim Ismail now comes up for a quick chat. Shabnim says that she went back to Cape Town and worked with her bowling coach and is happy to have bowled well and to be on the winning side. Adds that she still wants to be the quickest in the world and wants to hit that 130 KPH mark. Mentions that she wants to pick up wickets for her team and is glad to have done well and adds that Hayley Matthews is an old teammate and hence, she likes celebrating with her. Adds that she doesn't put too much pressure on herself and looks to keep things simple and doesn't look at Issy Wong as her competition but as someone who can push her. Ends by saying that she thought the pitch might be quicker in this game but after the first couple of deliveries she realized that variations would prove to be effective on this track.
Beth Mooney, the skipper of Gujarat is down for a chat. She says they let themselves down and credit has to go to Tanuja Kanwar and Kathryn Bryce for getting them to a total to play for. Adds that Kathryn Bryce is a great find who can swing her bat well and bowl well too. States that it is important to get over the defeat and move on to the next one without dwelling a lot on this one and says they look forward to the next game.
Earlier in the game, Harmanpreet Kaur won her second toss in a row and opted to bowl first yet again. Speedster Shabnim Ismail backed up her captain's decision to bowl first by scalping a couple of quick wickets and from there on, Mumbai controlled the game well. All of the bowlers were able to pile on the pressure and they got wickets at regular intervals as well. Ismail got three wickets and it was Amelia Kerr who went under the radar a bit but did pick up four wickets. A couple of handy 20s down the order from Kathryn Bryce and Tanuja Kanwar took Gujarat over the 120-run mark but it was always going to be very difficult total to defend.
Gujarat played well in patches in this game but will be gutted with a few of the batters and the fielding efforts. Their bowlers were up against it defending a low total but Kathryn Bryce and Tanuja Kanwar picked up a wicket each in their first overs and then a run out gave Gujarat a ray of hope. They failed to control the middle phase of the chase and allowed Kaur and Kerr to just rotate strike and the ground fielding was a bit sloppy too. Kanwar bowled brilliantly and got one more wicket towards the end but by then, it was a bit too late to conjure up a comeback.
Two wins out of two for Mumbai and the reigning champions have shown their prowess yet again and once again, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has led from the front and gets her side over the line this time around, something which she couldn't do in the last game. With just 127 runs needed for the win, Mumbai got 19 runs in the first two overs which was a fast start but lost both their openers quickly and then Natalie Sciver-Brunt also fell trying to play aggressive cricket. It was then a valuable stand between Harmanpreet Kaur and Amelia Kerr worth 66 runs that saw Mumbai get ahead in the game. Kerr fell and Mumbai lost one more wicket but the skipper put away a couple of boundaries and made sure there was no late hiccup and even went on to become the all-time leading run scorer in the tournament surpassing Meg Lanning.

Tanuja Kanwer To Pooja Vastrakar OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! That's a top delivery to dismiss Pooja Vastrakar.  Flights this one fuller around off and gets the ball to spin in a bit, Pooja Vastrakar plants her front foot ahead and looks to block but gets beaten. The ball zips through the inside edge and clatters the stumps. Hang on, the umpires are just checking whether or not Dayalan Hemalatha stepped inside the inner circle when the ball was released. If not, then it will be a no ball due to an extra fielder outside the ring but the third umpire deems it fair enough. Is there a twist in the tale?

Strategic break! Gujarat were doing really well in the first 10 overs of the chase but the stand between Harmanpreet Kaur and Amelia Kerr has blown them away. Kerr has just got out but in all likeliness, it is a bit too late for Gujarat to make a comeback as Mumbai just need 12 more runs in 4 overs. Will we see more late twists in this one? Let's find out. Also, Pooja Vastrakar walks out to bat now.

Lea Tahuhu To Amelia Kerr OUT!
OUT! LBW! Amelia Kerr has to walk back after a gritty knock. Lea Tahuhu bangs it on a length around middle and off, Amelia Kerr gets across the line again looking for the scoop but fails to connect. The ball clips her on the front pad and loops to the left of the keeper Beth Mooney who takes a good diving catch assuming there was a slight inside edge. The fielders appeal and the umpire gives it OUT! Amelia Kerr sends it upstairs but the replays show there was no inside edge and the impact, pitch and wickets were all in reds. The onfield call remains and Mumbai lose another one.

A stifled appeal for LBW and only Beth Mooney seems interested. Well, she has taken the review as well and they might as well go for it at this stage, not much to lose. Ashleigh Gardner bowls this one a smidge shorter on off and gets it to turn back in a long way. Kerr misses the paddle sweep and gets it off the pads down to fine leg for a couple of leg byes. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have missed leg stump.

Strategic break! Mumbai got out of the blocks quickly in the first couple of overs but Gujarat did well to peg them back a notch with a couple of quick wickets. However, Natalie Sciver-Brunt has been able to find the fence on several occasions and is looking good out there. Gujarat know they need wickets as the score on the board is a low one and will have to bowl exceedingly well in the middle phase. Mumbai have a long batting line up but will rely on Nat and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur to get them in a promising position.

Oh, dear! You will never see anything like that!  A total of four attempted throws and twice the batters get an additional run and three runs in total and that is very ordinary from Gujarat. Back of a length over the stumps, Natalie Sciver-Brunt works it off the back foot to mid-wicket and gets a single. There is a direct hit at the keeper's end and the ball deflects away as the batters pick up an extra run but then there is another wide throw which doesn't cost an extra run as the batters set off but decide against it. But on that attempted run, one more wide throw is fired in and eventually they do get one more run. Pheww!

Kathryn Bryce To Natalie Sciver-Brunt
FOUR! A valiant effort in the deep but it goes in vain. Short of a length on middle and angling in, Natalie Sciver-Brunt with a short-arm pull off the back foot and she gets it in between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket. It is Meghna Singh who puts in the dive to her left but the ball gets deflected past the other fielder and into the ropes.

Tanuja Kanwer To Hayley Matthews OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? Hayley Matthews has picked out the fielder in the deep to perfection and just like Kathryn Bryce, Tanuja Kanwar follows up her solid knock with the bat with a wicket in the first over. This is a real drag-down from Kanwar and bowled over middle and leg, there to be put away. Matthews rocks back and has the option to pull it anywhere she wants but she hits it flat and straight down the throat of Ashleigh Gardner at deep mid-wicket. Another slim outing for Matthews.

Kathryn Bryce To Yastika Bhatia OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Kathryn Bryce did it with the bat earlier and she now gets her maiden wicket in the competition. Hard length attacking the top of off stump, Yastika Bhatia takes the front leg out of the way and looks to bludgeon it over mid off but only gets the height and not distance timing on it. Veda Krishnamurthy takes a few steps back and takes a good catch and Gujarat do get an early wicket.
