Right then, that is it from the game. Mumbai have secured their spot in the Women's T20 League finals, where they will face off against Delhi. The game will be this Saturday, March 15th at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT). We invite you to join us for the pre-match buildup a bit early. Until then, take care, and cheers!
Hayley Matthews, the standout performer for Mumbai, was deservedly named the Player of the Match. In a post-match interview, Matthews expressed her delight at having a perfect game with both bat and ball, feeling thrilled to have contributed significantly to her team's victory. Matthews attributed her success to carefully selecting her areas to target and consistently penetrating them, which allowed her to score freely. Her thoughtful approach paid dividends, as she played a crucial role in Mumbai's imposing total. Matthews also reflected on the team's previous encounter with Gujarat, acknowledging that it provided valuable learnings. She revealed that the team worked on those lessons, which ultimately led to an even more impressive performance in this match.
Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of Mumbai, expressed her delight with the team's overall display. Kaur was thrilled that they were able to post a solid total on the board, extending her gratitude to Hayley Matthews and Natalie Sciver-Brunt for their outstanding contributions. Kaur praised the duo, describing them as great players who possess a deep understanding of the game and what's required for the team's success. She lauded their brilliant performances, which played a significant role in Mumbai's imposing total. Kaur also commended the bowling unit, stating that they performed admirably, with everyone contributing as desired. The skipper's praise reflected the team's all-around effort, which ultimately led to their success.
Ash Gardner, the captain of Gujarat acknowledged that their season came to a close, but emphasized the numerous positives they can take away. Gardner highlighted the emergence of young talents, which she believes is the primary objective of tournaments like the Women's T20 League. Gardner said that reaching the finals was uncharted territory for the team, and although they fell short, the experience will serve as a valuable learning curve for the team's young players. Regarding the absence of Deandra Dottin, Gardner expressed that it was less than ideal, given Dottin's consistent performances throughout the season. However, Gardner praised Danielle Gibson as a brilliant replacement, expressing disappointment that Dottin missed out on the crucial match.
Stay tuned for the presentation ...
Natalie Sciver-Brunt, the star all-rounder from Mumbai, praised the experience and influence of Charlotte Edwards, stating that it has been a massive boost to the squad in high-pressure games. Reflecting on her own performance, Sciver-Brunt expressed satisfaction with her consistency throughout the tournament, describing it as one of her best in recent times. Sciver-Brunt attributed her success to her ability to adapt and evolve, specifically working on hitting boundaries along the ground and clearing the fence. Her efforts have paid off, and she's reaping the rewards. Finally, Sciver-Brunt emphasized the importance of posting a strong total in a crucial knockout match, acknowledging that losing the toss ultimately worked in their favor, allowing them to set a target and put pressure on their opponents.
Earlier in the game, Mumbai posted a record-breaking total of 213, courtesy of formidable knocks from Hayley Matthews and Natalie Sciver-Brunt, and a blistering cameo from Harmanpreet Kaur towards the end. The highest-ever total was achieved despite a slow start. Gujarat struggled to contain the Mumbai batters, particularly in the last 5 overs, which yielded 73 runs.
Gujarat's hopes began to dwindle as Bharti Fulmali's attempt to accelerate the innings was cut short, falling in the 16th over. Mumbai's bowlers, led by Hayley Matthews' three wickes and Amelia Kerr's two wickets, along with and Shabnim Ismail's and Natalie Sciver-Brunt's contributions, ensured a successful defense of their total.
Gujarat faced a daunting task, chasing a substantial total set by Mumbai. Their innings got off to a tumultuous start, losing three key batters within the Powerplay, leaving them reeling at 46/3 after six overs. Despite the setbacks, Phoebe Litchfield and Dani Gibson showed intent to revive the innings. However, Gibson's unlucky dismissal in the 10th over halted their momentum. Phoebe continued to fight, but the required run rate kept climbing, ultimately leading to her dismissal in the 12th over for 31.
Mumbai have extended their winning streak against Gujarat to 7 consecutive matches, securing a dominant victory by 47 runs to advance to the Women's T20 League finale. They will face Delhi in the championship match, capping off an impressive campaign.
