WPL 2025 Eliminator: Can Gujarat Giants avoid a 7th straight defeat against Mumbai Indians? | Football News

Published by Webster

Whatever happens in the Women’s Premier League Eliminator on Thursday, Gujarat Giants can chalk down the 2025 season as an improvement. There cannot be arguments that, across the first two editions combined, they were the side that struggled the most in the tournament, finishing last on both occasions. But ahead of 2025, they made changes to the backroom staff, handed the captaincy over to Ashleigh Gardner from Beth Mooney, and added the star power to their lineup in the form of Deandra Dottin. In addition to all that, Kashvee Gautam – their big-money recruit before 2024 who ended up missing the season due to injury – has showcased her potential, especially with the ball in hand, emerging as one of the finds of the tournament for Indian cricket. It hasn’t been a flawless season by any means, but a place in the knockouts for the first time is one that Gardner and Co can relish. However, on Thursday at the Brabourne Stadium, they have to complete another first: beating Mumbai Indians. In the six meetings …

All-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt starred in both departments as Mumbai Indians produced a clinical performance to return to winning ways with a five-wicket victory over a self-destructive Gujarat Giants in their Women’s Premier League (WPL) match here on Tuesday. Sciver-Brunt smashed a 39-ball 57, her second consecutive half-century, after taking two wickets for 26, as MI first bowled out GG for a modest 120 and then chased down the target, scoring 122 for 5 with 3.5 overs to spare. Invited to bat, Gujarat paid the price for their over-aggression, with MI’s bowlers, led by off-spinner Hayley Matthews, delivering a tight performance. Shabnim Ismail (1/17), Amelia Kerr (2/22), and Amanjot Kaur (1/17) also played key roles in restricting Gujarat’s batting. Story continues below this ad In response, Sciver-Brunt dazzled with a flurry of boundaries, playing cut, pull, sweep, and scoop shots with ease. She hit 11 fours during her innings and was dismissed in the 16th over with just seven runs required to win. Chasing 121, MI lost Matthews (17), Yastika Bhatia (8) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur …

From one city in its inaugural edition, the Women’s Premier League will spread its wings a little further for the third season, being held in four different venues across the country, starting with Vadodara on Friday. Gujarat Giants will play hosts to Royal Challengers Bengaluru as the first leg kicks off at the BCA Stadium. After six matches, the caravan will shift to the home of the defending champions in Bengaluru. Lucknow will then take centerstage where UP Warriorz will get a chance to play in their home venue for the first time, then the curtains will come down in Mumbai. Indian cricket, meanwhile, would love to see the spread of WPL across the length and breadth of the country reflected in the performances on the field too. There is little doubt that the first two editions have helped female domestic cricketers achieve financial security while also providing a bigger platform to showcase their skills. The likes of Saika Ishaque, Asha Sobhana, Sajana Sajeevan and Shreyanka Patil have gone on to play for India, thanks …

When Hayley Matthews hit a delicious punch off the backfoot through the offside in the 16th over of West Indies’ run-chase, it was her 17th boundary of the night and a fitting way to take her side past the finish line. A fabulous display of stroke-making from the Windies captain – 85 off 47 balls with 80 percent of her runs coming through 4s – powered the visitors to a big win in the second T20I against India at the DY Patil Stadium on Tuesday. Chasing 160 to win, Matthews led from the front as West Indies finished with 9 wickets in hand and 26 balls to spare. “She wants to be the girl under pressure all the time. That’s when she’s at her best I think,” West Indies’ new coach Shane Deitz had said during the T20 World Cup where she led the team to the semifinals. And she took up the responsibility of bringing her team back to the series in some style. Standing in for Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana lost the toss …
