Harmanpreet Kaur’s Mumbai Indians will be up against Gujarat Giants for the second time in the ongoing Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023 in Match No. 12 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday (March 14). The two sides faced off in the opening game of the WPL 2023 couple of week’s back with MI posting a massive win in that clash thanks to skipper Harmanpreet’s whirlwind knock.
While MI are at the top of the table with four wins in four matches, the Sneh Rana-led Giants are near the bottom with just one win – over Royal Challengers Bangalore Women – so far out of their 4 matches. The Giants have already lost their skipper Beth Mooney due to injury in their opening match.
Former Australia cricketer Mel Jones said Mumbai Indians’ convincing eight-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their last match in the WPL 2023 sent out a statement to other teams that they possess the ability to win from any position. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur led from the front to score her second fifty in the tournament, through an unbeaten 53, and got support from 45 not out by Nat Sciver-Brunt to lead Mumbai to their fourth straight win of the competition.
“They have done it in a way again to say to the competition that yes, we can win big by leading from the front and yes we can win big with 15 balls to spare when challenged as well. I think this was the first time where a team had put them against the wall a little bit.
“I mean, it was the strangest of games. They had a little bit of everything like some moments I`ve never seen before. Speaking of the partnership, they are the two most experienced players going around the circuit. It’s slightly different in the way they go about things, they complement each other really well,” Jones was quoted as saying by Sports18 and JioCinema after the match ended.
