Harman helps MI win and stay in hunt for final spot
Hindustan Times Bengaluru|March 11, 2025
Mumbai Indians' home-coming in the WPL had a significant Harmanpreet Kaur stamp — as batter and captain. On a night she slammed a 33-ball 54 and engineered some clever changes, MI beat Gujarat Giants by nine runs at the Brabourne Stadium in their first home game since becoming inaugural season champions.

MUMBAI: The win gives MI a big push towards topping the table and sealing a final spot.

Harmanpreet's second half-century of this WPL season formed the bedrock of MI's healthy 179/6. GG were nearly down for the count after the halfway mark of the chase at 70/5 until Bharti Fulmali's stunning 25-ball 61 brought the equation to 23 off 12. Nat Sciver-Brunt and Hayley Matthews ensured the final two punches went the hosts' way.
