🏏WPL 2023 - Mumbai Indians W vs Gujarat Giants W, Match 12 🏏 - Page 5

Mumbai Indians haven't ran amok, but they still have finished with a mighty competitive total on the board. Hayley Matthews was dismissed for a duck, but Yastika and Sciver-Brunt added 74 for the 2nd wicket. The platform was built for Harmanpreet Kaur to play an innings of substance and she responded with a 29-ball 50. Sneh Rana led from the front with the ball and Gardner took 3 wickets. Brabourne has been a batters paradise so far this season and Giants will fancy chasing down 163. But they're up against a team which hasn't lost a match so far. Can MI defend this score?

Amelia Kerr: I think it was a little bit slower and got a bit more turn. It's a pretty good score but the way we are bowling, swinging it top and Sakia bowling through the middle, we have done well. If we bowl well and keep it in the good areas, we can defend this score. The girls were joking about me being padded up, but no issues as our batting has been firing. Harman to go and the way she batted was outstanding. It's a great atmosphere and they love their cricket here, it's awesome to be playing here in India.

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Dunkley, out Lbw!! The umpire's call which was out has given MIW a dream start. A sharp nipbacker from Nat Sciver-Brunt and Dunkley is caught on the crease, misses the defence, rapped on the pads and in line with leg-stump, just clipping and umpire Gayathri Venugopalan raised the finger late after a thought. That's enough as the review does not save Dunkley. Dunkley lbw b Nat Sciver-Brunt 0(1)

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Dunkley, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!
