GUJ W vs MUM W Match Preview
With a thrilling last-ball victory over the defending champions, Delhi Capitals, the Mumbai Indians got their season off to a spectacular start. Needing 5 runs to win off the last ball, it was debutant Sajana Sajeevan’s first-ball six that sealed the match for MI. In a game filled with dropped catches, no-balls, and misfields, it was the Indian contingent that shone for the MI team.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, with a 34-ball 55, and opener Yastika Bhatia, with 57, were the standout performers. The match also witnessed the debut of former South African pacer Shabnim Ismail in MI colors. With an early win under their belt, the champions will now aim to build on their success when they take on the Gujarat Giants, last year’s bottom-ranked team, on Sunday.
The Gujarat Giants could not have asked for a tougher start to their campaign than facing MI. The Giants will be wary of not just facing the reigning champions but also remembering how heavily the MI team hammered them last season. The Giants lost both their games against MI last season by margins of 143 and 55 runs, respectively. However, this season could be different, as Beth Mooney returns to lead the squad after missing out due to injury last season.
The management has roped in some quality players like Lea Tahuhu, Phoebe Litchfield, Kathryn Bryce, and Lauren Cheatle. Another notable inclusion is the veteran Indian player, Veda Krishnamurthy. Clearly, the side has been bolstered with both experience and youth. Under the guidance of new coach Michael Klinger and the leadership of Beth Mooney, fans can expect a different Giants to turn up for this season.
