Match Ended   
162/8 (20.0/20)
107/9 (20.0/20)
Mumbai Indians beat Gujarat Giants by 55 runs
That is it from this game and Mumbai qualify for the playoffs after just 5 games played. The action in the Women's T20 League 2023 continues on Wednesday, the 15th of March as UP go up against Bangalore in an important clash at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. That game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but as usual, our build-up will begin a lot sooner. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Harmanpreet Kaur (51 runs off 30 balls), captain of Mumbai is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. She says that the credit goes to the team and support staff and wants to carry on in a similar fashion. Adds that there is positivity in the dressing room and its showing with the results. Mentions that she was happy when they made the side as they had a good combination and they are getting great results. Adds that her plan was to keep wickets in hand, play some balls early on and take it deep. Closes by saying that she targeted the leg side as it was a shorter boundary and went in her favour.
The Presentation time...
Natalie Sciver-Brunt comes up for a quick chat. She starts by saying that she did not expect to qualify so early on and mentions that they are having a good time. Adds that she had a good time with the ball but didn't get much swing in this game and the dew wasn't there either. Says that having in-form batters is good but getting everyone a bat out in the middle is fruitful as well for the latter stages. Mentions that they are trying to take it one game at a time and they are playing from the heart and enjoying themselves. On switching to a different venue in the next game, she says that they will have to see how the conditions play after they get there.
Gujarat's skipper, Sneh Rana says that she was glad to keep Mumbai to 162. Adds that it was a chasable score but they messed it up. Mentions that they needed two good partnerships and they would have sailed through. Lauds Harleen Deol who was fantastic in the field and kudos to her. Closes by saying that if the batters put on handy runs, it will help them to fight for a spot in the finals.
Earlier in the game, Harmanpreet Kaur lost the toss yet again and Mumbai were put into bat. Having lost Hayley Matthews for a duck, they managed to make a decent recovery. Yastika Bhatia and Natalie Sciver-Brunt first raked up a few boundaries and built up a big stand and then in the latter stages it was a brilliant half-century by their skipper Harmanpreet Kaur that took the final score to well over the 150-run mark. For Gujarat, Ashleigh Gardner picked up three wickets and skipper Sneh Rana picked up a single wicket but remained highly economical and Harleen Deol too displayed some great work in the field. Chasing 163 runs to win, the Gujarat side never really got going with the bat and were suffocated by the Mumbai bowlers, succumbing to a big loss.
Gujarat have found it difficult to muster up runs consistently in the tournament so far and after losing their star-batter Sophia Dunkley on the very first ball, they were under immense pressure. Consistent performer Harleen Deol did start well and Sabbineni Meghana too got going a bit but both of them got out in quick succession. Gujarat never recovered from this and they only managed to bring the margin of loss down a bit with a couple of decent knocks from skipper Sneh Rana and Sushma Verma down the order.
Mumbai did well to put on 162 runs on the board on a pitch that had something in it for the spinners. Natalie Sciver-Brunt then got them off to a perfect start with the ball as she got rid of the dangerous Sophia Dunkley first ball. This set the tone and after a bit of resistance, the wickets started to flow. Sciver-Brunt followed up her good showing with the bat to pick up three wickets. Hayley Matthews got the ball to turn a lot and picked up three wickets as well. Amelia Kerr too picked up a couple of good wickets and all in all, it was an excellent display with the ball and in the field from them.
Mumbai make it five wins out of five with another statement victory against Gujarat and become the first team to make it through to the playoffs. It was a similar story to the opening game of the tournament, only this time the margin of victory for Mumbai was a little less but still a pretty big one in general and they are now guaranteed a top-three spot on the points table.

Strategic break! With just 24 balls left and 70 runs needed to win, it seems all over for Gujarat as they are also 7 wickets down. Mumbai have been able to simply pick up wickets at regular intervals and Gujarat haven't had a partnership going since the one early in the innings between Sabbineni Meghana and Harleen Deol. Mumbai will look to bundle out their opposition to seal a fifth win on the trot.

Amelia Kerr To Ashleigh Gardner OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! A brilliant tumbling catch from Jintimani Kalita and Ashleigh Gardner departs right after the break, leaving Gujarat in a spot of real bother. Amelia Kerr tosses this one up nicely around the off stump, turning it away. Gardner decides to take it on and swings hard across the line only to slice it over cover-point. Kalita there back-tracks and holds on with both hands over her head, even after taking a tumble.
Strategic Break! Gujarat are in all sorts of trouble as they are reduced to 48 for 4 at the end of 9 overs. Their in-form batter Harleen Deol is just been dismissed and this looks like an uphill task for Ashleigh Gardner and the batters who follow. Mumbai are right on top in this game. They have chipped in with wickets at regular intervals and are well on the course here to make it 5 wins out of 5. As we speak, Dayalan Hemalatha walks out to bat for Gujarat at number 6.

OUT! LBW! The change of pace from Issy Wong has worked here. Wong bowls it slower and on a good length around middle. Harleen Deol rocks back and shuffles a bit looking to swivel-pull but it just isn't short enough and Deol misses, getting struck on the pads. There is an appeal and Deol is adjudged LBW once again. Yet again she reviews it right away. Height could be a factor here and the UltraEdge confirms that there's no bat involved. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and Deol has to walk back, a huge wicket for Mumbai.

OUT! LBW! Staying low and Annabel Sutherland has to unfortunately depart here. Hayley Matthews bowls a real half-tracker around off and gets it to turn again. Sutherland goes deep in her crease and backs away looking for the pull but the ball just dies off the pitch and sneaks well under the bat. Sutherland is rapped in front of the stumps and the finger is raised almost instantly. Two wickets in the over for Matthews and Mumbai are on top of proceedings here.

The review is taken and UltraEdge shows that there's no bat involved. However, there is a faint deflection off the pads and the wide call will be reversed.

Sabbineni Meghana clears the front leg and lofts it down the ground. She doesn't get enough power on it and it is an easy catch for Amelia Kerr at the long on fence.

Issy Wong To Harleen Deol
Nicely driven but a bit too straight. Pitched up on off stump, Harleen Deol punches it straight back and hits the wickets on the other end. Issy Wong is certain that she doesn't get a hand on it but the umpire's have gone upstairs to be certain as Sabbineni Meghana seems to be out of her crease at the non-striker's end. UltraEdge shows a flat-line as the ball passes the fingers and everything remains as it is.

Saika Ishaque To Harleen Deol
Saika Ishaque now seems to have picked up a first off her first delivery and Gujarat are stunned. Saika starts from around the wicket and bowls the arm-ball into the pads. Harleen Deol looks to flick but misses and gets pinged on the pads. There is a huge appeal and up goes the finger. Harleen Deol has reviewed it though. There is no spike on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that it is sliding well down the leg side, good review from Deol.
Saika Ishaque to operate from the other end.

Natalie Sciver-Brunt To Sophia Dunkley OUT!
OUT! LBW! Gone first ball! Natalie Sciver-Brunt with a dream inswinger to start off the chase as she bowls it around off and middle, and the ball just shapes back in sharply. Sophia Dunkley gets caught on the back footy as she looks to tuck it away but misses and gets pinged in front. After a huge appeal, the finger is eventually raised but Dunkley does review after giving it a lot of thought. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows wickets as umpire's call. Dunkley has to walk back for a golden duck.
