by David Thompson - Sports Editor

Mumbai Indians 193 for 3 (Harmanpreet 71*,Carey 38*,Kashvee 1-33) beat Gujarat Giants 192⁤ for 5 (wareham⁤ 43*,Fulmali ⁤36*) by seven wickets

Harmanpreet paced the chase to near perfection,finding support from Amanjot Kaur and Nicola Carey, as MI extended ⁤their perfect head-to-head record against Giants ‌to 8-0. MI‍ also maintained their​ remarkable streak of never ​losing‍ a ⁢WPL match ⁣when Harmanpreet scores a fifty, this being the 10th such instance.

Giants’ big start

Giants began briskly ⁣after being put in, with⁤ sophie‌ Devine and Beth ​Mooney taking on the returning Hayley Matthews for four boundaries in the second⁢ over. Devine got⁢ an early reprieve when‍ Shabnim Ismail induced an ⁣edge ‌in the opening ‍over‍ and wicketkeeper G Kamalini ​dropped ⁢the ⁢chance. The‌ miss proved inconsequential as ⁢Ismail struck again​ in the third over, having Devine nick behind for 8, with Kamalini holding ‌on.

With Anushka​ Sharma sidelined through injury, ​ Kanika Ahuja was promoted to No. 3. She ⁤ensured the momentum‌ didn’t‌ dip, getting off the mark with a powerful drive through the covers, and combining ‌with Mooney to inflict damage.⁤ After Mooney’s departure,‌ she‌ continued alongside​ Ash Gardner. The pair carried ⁣Giants to‌ 99 for⁢ 3 at the ⁢end of the 10th over. Gardner fell ‍in the‍ 10th over and ‌Ahuja followed in the 11th, but Giants had laid a⁤ solid platform by ​then.
