Speaking exclusively on Amul Cricket Live on JioHotstar, Mithali Raj shared her thoughts on Mumbai Indians’ outstanding performance: “Mumbai Indians started strong by winning the toss and then maintained control by consistently taking crucial wickets against Gujarat Giants. They bowled in the right areas, picking up key dismissals, particularly of the overseas players, restricting Gujarat Giants to just 121 runs. The chase was executed efficiently, finishing in just over 16 overs. Overall, it was a comprehensive and commanding victory for Mumbai Indians.”
Speaking exclusively on Amul Cricket Live on JioHotstar, Mithali Raj praised Nat Sciver-Brunt’s performance: “Nat Sciver-Brunt is having a fantastic season, both with the ball and the bat. This was her second fifty of the season, and she played with great assurance, displaying her signature shots. The moment she walks in, you can tell she is in top form. With the ball, she made an impact early, sharing the new-ball responsibilities with Shabnim Ismail and delivering a crucial breakthrough by dismissing Beth Mooney. That was a significant moment in the match, as Mooney has been a consistent performer at the top for Gujarat Giants.”
Speaking exclusively on Amul Cricket Live on JioHotstar, Mithali Raj highlighted Mumbai Indians’ collective team effort in their victory: “While Hayley Matthews didn’t have a big innings today, she did provide a solid start. Amelia Kerr also got off to a decent beginning. As the tournament progresses, by the third or fourth game, we can expect Mumbai Indians’ batting unit to fully hit its stride. However, as a captain, it is reassuring to see your in-form batter consistently contributing runs, which bodes well for the team moving forward.”
Speaking exclusively on Amul Cricket Live on JioHotstar, Stacy-Ann King reflected on Gujarat Giants’ performance against Mumbai Indians: “As we look back at tonight’s match and the way they went about things, I thought they were just a bit too aggressive too early, especially after losing the openers. So, it’s an opportunity now to have a look at where they went wrong, batting wise they need to look at those partnerships. They need to get a good start, the middle order needs to contribute, and I think that’s the big thing for them. They’ve got the bowling, they’ve had young players step up with ball in hand, but it’s just about the batting. They need to put together a proper total so that they can defend.”
