After Mumbai Indians’ impressive five-wicket win over Gujarat Giants in the ongoing Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025, former India captain Mithali Raj praised MI’s stellar performance on Tuesday. The match, held at Kotambi Stadium, showcased Mumbai Indians’ dominance as they secured a clinical victory.
Harmanpreet Kaur-led Mumbai Indians continued their dominance over Gujarat Giants, securing their fifth consecutive win against them. Notably, all five victories have come while chasing.
“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,” Mithali Raj said while speaking on JioHotstar.
The former right-hand batter also emphasized Mumbai Indians’ strong team effort in securing the win.
The 42-year-old added, “Although Hayley Matthews didn’t play a big innings today, she provided a solid start. Amelia Kerr also had a decent beginning. As the tournament progresses, by the third or fourth game, we can expect Mumbai Indians’ batting unit to find its full rhythm. However, as a captain, it’s reassuring to see an in-form batter consistently contributing runs, which is a positive sign for the team moving forward.”
Mumbai Indians’ next match is set against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday, February 21, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
