On a fresh pitch, knocks of 77 each from Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt, along with a breathtaking 36 from captain Harmanpreet Kaur, took MI to a massive total.

Nat Sciver-Brunt and Hayley Matthews carried Mumbai Indians to their second WPL final as their power-packed knocks laid the cornerstone for the team’s 47-run win over Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator here on Thursday.

Gujarat Giants got off to this very horrifying start when all-rounder Deandra Dottin – who has been clinical for the side with bat and ball – injured her left knee ahead of the game. It was the start of several things to go wrong for the franchise as it succumbed to a 47-run loss against Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League Eliminator at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.
