“What A Start To The WPL”- Twitter Reacts As Mumbai Indians Beat Gujarat Giants In First WPL 2023 Game

MI Women registered a resounding victory over Gujarat Giants (GG) in the opening fixture of WPL 2023. MI Women won the match by a whooping margin of 143 runs which is massive in Women’s Cricket where they outplayed GG in all the 3 facets of the game. It was a collective effort from MI Women’s bowling unit where they hunted in a pack. Saika Ishaque was the pick of the bowlers where she took 4 wickets for 11 runs in her 3.1 overs.

Gujarat Giants would be in a state of shock as the team had got a lot of match winners. Perhaps, the injury blow of skipper Beth Mooney proved to be decisive as the left-handed batter in the 1st over of the run chase had a cramp that ruled her out. Not a single batter scored 30 runs, which is quite shocking. Gujarat Giants need to quickly regroup as their next fixture is against UP Warriorz on 5th March.

MI Women skipper Harmanpreet Kaur’s blistering knock of 65 runs in 30 balls changed the complexion of the match. MI Women scored 130 runs in the last 10 overs. Hayley Matthews gave MI Women the perfect start when she scored a quick-fire knock of 47 runs in 31 balls where she struck 3 fours & 4 sixes.

MI Women would be over the moon that they were quite ruthless and now have emerged as a strong contender for the WPL 2023 where they have good depth in both the batting & bowling departments. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur rotated her bowlers smartly and made sure that they don’t give easy runs to the opposition team.
