WPL 2023 | MI-W vs GG-W, As it happened: Mumbai beat Gujarat by 143 runs

This was as comprehensive as it could get for Mumbai. Matthews set the tone with the bat early for the Indians, and Harmanpreet just lit it up with her blasting innings.

The bowlers then joined the party as early wickets just derailed any hopes of chasing the mammoth target of 208 runs!

Monica Patel 10(9) b Ishaque

Ishaque gets the last wicket and ends up with a four-for. With Mooeny not coming to bat, Gujarat ends with 64/9 and lose by 143 runs!

Mansi Joshi 6(18) lbw Ishaque

Ishaque takes her third! An arm ball which came in and hit on the pad, with bat being close, the umpire thinks it hit the bat first but DRS reveals the truth.

This might be over for Gujarat but Hemlatha still trying out there. She has scored almost half of the Giants' runs, showing top-order just needed to apply and spend an over or two on the crease before trying shots.

Tanuja Kanwar 0(3) c Sciver-Brunt b Kerr

Kerr gets two in the over with all over for Gujarat.

Sneh Rana 1(2) lbw Kerr

Amelia Kerr gets wicket off the first ball and this is just a formality now.

Just 23 off seven overs! This is folding out quickly here for Gujarat.

Georgia Wareham 8(11) b Ishaque

Wareham looks to work on to mid-wicket but ball sneaks past and rattles the stumps.

More trouble for Gujarat as they need a miracle here to come out of this hole! Nearly half the side is back in the hut with not even 20 on the board.

Sutherland 6(14) b Ishaque

Sutherland tried to pull but could manage to send the ball on her stumps only!

Wong and Sciver-Brunt has dented Gujarat with three early wickets and with Mooney retired hurt, things looking bleak for the Giants.

S Meghana 2(4) b Sciver-Brunt

Sciver-Brunt takes one more as she hits Meghana's stumps through her defence. Gujarat in pits here!

Ashleigh Gardner 0(1) c Matthews B Wong

Indians all over Gujarat! Wong sends down a length ball which takes off and Gardner edges it to Matthews who makes no mistakes at slip.

What a start by Sciver-Brunt and the Indians! Gujarat faltering fast!

Harleen Deol 0(2) c Wong B Sciver-Brunt

Awful start for Gujarat as Harleen departs trying a big shot right after Mooney goes off the field.

Beth Mooney 0(3) Retired hurt

Beth Mooney goes off the field with cramps! big blow for Gujarat.

Haley Mathews took charge early for the Indians but two wickets seem to have brought the Giants back at the half-way mark. But Harmanpreet put on 89-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Kerr. Kaur finally got out on 65 off just 30 including 14 fours! Kerr, 45 off 24 not out, then, along with Vastrakar continued the onslaught with last-ball six from Wong finishing things for the Indians who score 207/5!

We'll back with the chase in bit, stay tuned.
