Mumbai Indians Women continued their dominance over Gujarat Giants Women with a commanding seven-wicket victory in the 6th match of the Women’s Premier League at DY Patil Stadium on January 13, 2026.
Chasing a challenging target of 193, MI completed the second-highest successful run chase in WPL history with four balls to spare. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur played a decisive role, remaining unbeaten on 71 off 43 deliveries to earn the Player of the Match award.
Gujarat Giants, batting first, posted 192 for 5 after a strong start at the top. Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney provided early momentum before Devine departed for 8. Kanika Ahuja and Mooney then stabilised the innings, helping Giants reach 99 for 3 at the halfway mark. Late fireworks from Bharti Fulmali, who smashed multiple boundaries in the final overs, lifted Gujarat to a competitive total.
Mumbai’s chase began positively despite losing an early wicket. Hayley Matthews returned to the lineup and scored a quick 22 before departing. Harmanpreet and Amanjot Kaur rebuilt the innings steadily, with Amanjot attacking the spinners to keep the required rate under control.
After Amanjot’s dismissal, Nicola Carey joined Harmanpreet and shifted momentum decisively. Carey struck five boundaries in a single over off Renuka Singh, reducing the target sharply. Harmanpreet reached her half-century off 33 balls and capitalised on Gujarat’s dropped chances to finish the chase in style.
With this win, Mumbai Indians extended their unbeaten record against Gujarat Giants to 8–0 and maintained their perfect streak of victories whenever Harmanpreet scores a WPL fifty.
