Mumbai Indians showcased their dominance in the Eliminator of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025, securing a resounding 47-run victory over Gujarat Giants to book their place in the final. This victory marks Mumbai’s second appearance in a WPL final in three seasons, once again setting up a title clash with Delhi Capitals. The two teams had previously faced off in the inaugural WPL final in 2023, wher?e Mumbai emerged victorious, and now Delhi will be aiming to avenge that loss and secure their maiden WPL title. Mumbai’s triumph in the eliminat??or was built on a brilliant batting display, complemented by a clinical bowling performance that left Gujarat struggling throughout the match.

Mumbai Indians’ batting firepower dismantles Gujarat Giants

Opting to field first after winning the toss, Gujarat hoped to restrict Mumbai to a manageable total, but Mumbai’s batters had other plans. Although Mumbai suffered an early setback, their middle order came to the rescue with a stunning display of aggressive batting. Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt took complete control, attacking the Gujarat bowlers with a flurry of boundaries and sixes. Matthews was in devastating form, finding gaps with ease and taking full advantage of the powerplay. Her knock set the platform for Mumbai to build a massive total. Sciver-Brunt played the perfect anchor, rotating the strike effectively while punishing loose deliver?ies. The duo ensured that Mumbai?? never lost momentum, consistently keeping the scoreboard ticking at a rapid pace. Their contributions powered Mumbai Indians to a mammoth 213/4 in 20 overs, the highest total in WPL 2025, putting Gujarat under immense pressure even before they came out to bat.

Gujarat Giants’ batting collapse seals their fate

Chasing a daunting target of 214 runs, Gujarat never looked comfortable at the crease as Mumbai’s disciplined bowling attack put them on the back foot from the very beginning. Phoebe Litchfield provided some resistance with a well-made 31 runs, but she found little support from her teammates as wickets continued to tumble at regular intervals. Bharti Phulmali also contributed 30 runs, but the rest of Gujarat’s batting lineup failed to deliver under pressure. Poor running between the wickets and reckless shot se??lection only added to Gujarat’s woes, and as the required run rate kept climbing, Mumbai’s bowlers capitalized on the mounting pressure. The middle order and lower order failed to put together any meaningful partnerships, and Gujarat were eventually bowled out f?or 166 runs in 19.2 overs, falling 47 runs short of the target and exiting the tournament in disappointing fashion.

Mumbai’s bowlers dominate to seal victory

Mumbai’s bowling unit executed their plans to perfection, ensuring Gujarat never had a chance to settle into the chase. Matthews and Amelia Kerr were the standout performers with the ball, both picking up two wickets each and dismantling Gujarat’s top order early in the innings. Sciver-Brunt and Shabnim Ismail also played their part, chipping in with one wicket each, further tightening Mumbai’s grip on the match. The bowlers m?aintained impeccable line and length, making it difficult for Gujarat to find bound??aries, while the fielders backed them up with exceptional energy and sharp reflexes. Mumbai’s relentless pressure left Gujarat with no room to recover, and their disciplined bowling effort ensured that they comfortably defended their total to book their place in the final.

The high-stakes Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 Eliminator is underway, with Gujarat Giants winning the toss and opting to bowl first against Mumbai Indians. In a crucial knockout encounter, Gujarat skipper Ashleigh Gardner explained the decision, citing the fresh pitch and the team’s strong bowling performance in their previous match, despite a narrow defeat.

Major blow for Gujarat Giants: Deandra Dottin ruled out of WPL 2025 Eliminator

The big news from the toss was the unfortunate injury to star all-rounder Deandra Dottin, who suffered a setback during warm-ups. This could be a significant loss for Gujarat, given her explosive batting ability and experience in high-pressure games. In her absence, England‘s Danielle Gibson has been drafted into the playing XI, making her debut in a crucial knockout match. Speaking at the toss, Ashleigh Gardner acknowledged ??the challenge but backed her team to deliver.

“We’re going to bowl first. It’s another fresh wicket, and we feel that we did a lot of things right the other night. Didn’t get the win, but taking a lot of positives from our bowling innings. Unfortunately, Deandra picked up an injury just five minutes before the game, which is a massive loss. But we’re excited for Dani Gibson, who gets a great opportunity to shine on debut. Generally, it’s a high-scoring pitch, but there might be some assistance for the bowlers early on. Everyone in the camp is excited, though there are some nerves since this is our first time in this situation,” Gardner said during the toss time.

Mumbai Indians confident despite batting first

Mumbai captain Harmanpreet Kaur was unfazed by Gujarat’s dec??ision to bowl first, stating that the team was prepared for any scenario. She emphas??ized the importance of staying composed in big games, especially with Mumbai having previous experience in eliminators.

“Yeah, it’s a fresh pitch, but we were okay with either decision. We’ve been in this situation twice before and understand the importance of this game. The key for us is to stay in the moment and execute our plans well. We’ve made one change – Parunika Sisodia misses out, and Saika Ishaque comes back into the XI,” Harmanpreet said.

The stakes in this Eliminator could not be higher, as the winner will advance to the WPL 2025 final to take on the Delhi Capitals, who have reached their third consecutive WPL final. Having finished as runners-up in both 2023 and 2024, Delhi will be aiming to break their jinx and claim their first-ever WPL title. With Gujarat missing Dottin and Mumbai relying on their experience in knockout matches, the Eliminator promises to be an intense battle as both teams fight for a spo?t in th?e grand final.

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has officially arrived in Ahmedabad to join his new Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Gujarat Titans (GT), ahead of IPL 2025. Siraj’s first match for GT will take place on March 25, when GT face Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This opening fixture will be a crucial test for GT as they look to build a strong campaign under Shubman Gill’s captaincy. The franchise, which won ?the IPL title in 2022 and finished as runners-up in 2023, will be aiming to reclaim the trophy in IPL 2025.

Mohammed Siraj joins Gujarat Titans for IPL 2025

Siraj who was a key figure in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) setup from 2018 to 2024, is now set for a new journey with the Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans. Siraj was acquired by GT for a whopping INR 12.25 crore in the IPL 2025 auction, making him one of the biggest signings of the season. The Hyderabad-born speedster will be a crucial part of GT’s bowling attack, which also features Prasidh Krishna, Mohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Rashid Khan. Upon his arrival, GT’s social media team welcomed him through their ‘Carversations’ series, where players share their thoughts while traveling from the airport to the team hotel. Siraj shared a hilarious ?and heartwarming story about his first reaction to bein?g picked by GT, involving his new captain, Gill.

Shubman Gill’s unique welcome for Siraj

Siraj revealed that during the IPL 2025 auction, he was in Australia as part of the Indian squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2025. Gill, who was also a par??t of that series, was staying in the hotel room right next to Siraj. As soon as Siraj’s name was announced in the auction, Gill couldn’t contain his excitement. However, what followed next was even more amusing.

“Shubman’s room was right next to mine. As soon as my name was announced, he kept knocking. He was telling me, ‘Don’t worry, now you’re definitely coming to GT, don’t stress. When I got picked by GT, he was taking a shower. Towel bandh ke mere paas aaya! (He came to me with just a towel wrapped around him!) He hugged me and said, ‘Welcome to the GT family!,” Siraj said.

This fun interaction highlights the camaraderie between the two Indian stars, as they now gear up to lead Gujarat into the 2025 IPL seaso?n.

Siraj’s IPL journey: A new chapter with GT

Siraj has been one of India’s?? top fast bowlers in recent years, but I??PL 2025 marks a fresh start for him, as it will be the first time since 2017 that he will play for a franchise other than RCB.

Here’s a look at Siraj’s IPL career stats so far:

• Matches Played: 93
• Wickets Taken: 93
• Best Figures: 4/21
• Economy Rate: 8.45

However, Siraj had a challenging IPL 2024 season, struggling with form and consistency, ??which led RCB to release him ahead of the mega auction. Despite this, Gujarat saw immense potential in his experience and skill set, making a bold move to sign him for INR 12.25 crore. GT’s decision to bring in Siraj is part of their strategy to revamp their fast-bowling unit.

In a high-voltage clash at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai, Mumbai Indians emerged victorious in a nail-biting 9-run win over Gujarat Giants Women in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025. The match witnessed breathtaking performances, with Harmanpreet Kaur leading from the front with a 54-run knock, while Bharti Fulmali’s heroic 61 off 25 balls nearly pulled off an incredible chase for Gujarat. However, Amelia Kerr’s bowling brilliance (3/34) and Shabnim Ismail’s economical spell (2/17) helped Mumbai defend their total of 179/6, securing a crucial win in the???? tournament.

Harmanpreet Kaur anchors MI’s innings with a captain’s knock

Opting to bat first, Mumbai Indians got off to a cautious start, with Hayley Matthews (2??7 off 22, 3 fours, 2 sixes) providing early momentum. H??owever, Gujarat struck early, dismissing Kerr (5 off 9) in the third over.

Nat Sciver-Brunt (38 off 31, 6 fours) built a solid partnership with Matthews, steadying the innings before both batters fell in quick succession.?? W?ith MI at 105/3 in 13.4 overs, skipper Harmanpreet took charge, crafting a masterclass innings of 54 off 33 balls, hitting nine boundaries to accelerate the scoring rate.

In the death overs, Amanjot Kaur’s explosive cameo of 27 off 15 balls provided the final flourish, while Yastika Bhatia’s quickfire 13 off just 4 balls (1 four, 1 six) helped Mumbai finish at a formidable 179/6 in 20 overs. For Gujarat, Ashleigh Gardner (1/27) and Kashvee Gautam (1/32) were the standout bowlers, but Deandra Dottin (0/44 in 4 overs) had an off day, leaking crucia??l runs.

Bharti Fulmali’s heroics not enough as MI bowlers hold their nerve

Chasing 180, Gujarat Giants got off to a shaky start, losing Beth Mooney (7 off 9) early to Matthews. The wickets continued to tumble as Harleen Deol (24 off 17, 5 fours) and Phoebe Litchfield ??(22 off 16, 4 fours) tried to? revive the innings, but MI’s bowlers struck at regular intervals.

At 92/6 in 13.1 overs, the chase seemed all but over for Gujarat. However, Fulmali turned the game on its head with a sensational counterattack, smashing 61 off just 25 balls, including eight fours and four sixes. She was well supported by Simran Shaikh (18 off 16), with the duo adding 50 runs in just 22 balls, putting Gujarat within touchi??n?g distance of an improbable win.

With just 10 runs needed off the final over, Mumbai needed a special effort, and they found it in Matthews, who bowled brilliantly to restrict Gujarat to 170/9 in 20 overs, sealing MI’s thrilling victory. The win strengthens Mumbai’s position in the WPL 2025 points table, while Gujarat will rue missed opportunities, especially with Fulmali’s innings going in vain despite a valiant fightback.

Brabourne Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai is renowned as a batter’s paradise, where runs are expected to flow freely as the innings progress, especially under the lights. The conditions are likely to favour the batters as the evening sets in, but the dew factor could become a significant element, making it challenging for bowlers to grip the ball and thereby increasing the likelihood of teams opting to chase.

Furthermore, the pitch tends to favour spinners more than pacers, with spinners. Given these factors, it’s reasonable to assume that the team winning the toss would likely ch??oose to bowl first, seeking to exploit the dew advantage and the challenging condition?s for the bowlers later in the game.

Gujarat Giants registered a nail-biting five-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025. After winning the toss, Gujarat opted to field first, allowing Delhi to set the pace with the bat. Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma provided a strong foundation with an aggressive opening partnership. However, Gujarat’s bowlers made a strong comeback in the middle overs, restricting Delhi to 177/5. In response, Gujarat chased down the target in a tense finish, with Harleen Deol playing a match-winning knock. The game saw momentum shift multiple times, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Ultimately, Gujarat secured victory with three bal??ls to spare, capping off an unforgettable contest.

Meg Lanning’s blazing 92 sets up competitive total for Delhi Capitals

Delhi started their innings on a fiery note as Lanning and Shafali took charge with an 83-run opening stand. Shafali’s quickfire 40 off 27 balls set the tempo, but her dismissal triggered a collapse. The middle order, including Jess Jonassen, Jemimah Rodrigues and Annabel Sutherland, failed to make an impact. However, Lanning held her ground, smashing 92 off just 57 balls, including 15 fours and a six. She fell agonizingly ??short of a century, but her knock ensured Delhi reached a strong total of 177/5 in their 20 overs, leaving Gujarat with a challenging chase.

Harleen Deol’s grit and Kashvee Gautam’s six seal the victory

Gujarat’s chase was anything but smooth, as they lost wickets at crucial moments. Beth Mooney anchored the innings with a steady 44, while Deandra Dottin’s explosive 24 off 10 balls gave the Giants much-needed momentum. Despite the pressure, Harleen remained composed, crafting an unbeaten 70-run innings that kept Gujarat in the hunt. The equation came down to seven runs off the final over when Kashvee Gautam smashed a c??rucial six, shifting the balance in Gujarat’s favor. With three balls to spare, Gujarat completed the chase, sec??uring a much-celebrated victory over Delhi.

Here’s how fans reacted:

For a batter who has had strike rate issues right through her T20 career, the swit??ching of gears has been really good from Harleen Deol in the last couple of games
