In a thrilling encounter in WPL 2026, Gujarat Giants set a challenging target of 193/5, but Mumbai Indians chased it down comfortably to win by 7 wickets courtesy of a brilliant knock by skipper Harmanpreet Kaur.  Gujarat, after losing early wickets, found stability through solid contributions from Georgia Wareham (43*) and Fulmali (36*). Despite Ayushi Soni being forced to retire hurt, Gujarat managed to regroup with steady partnerships. Wareham’s composed knock in the final overs and contributions from the lower order helped Gujarat post a competitive total.
 
Mumbai Indians, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, came into the chase with confidence. However, Gujarat's bowlers, led by Shabnim Ismail and Nicola Carey, had made inroads earlier, but they couldn't prevent the flow of runs. The Warriorz did manage to claim a few key wickets, including the crucial one of Ashleigh Gardner, but the pressure remained high as Mumbai's top order capitalized on every opportunity.
 
Mumbai’s chase was anchored by Harmanpreet Kaur, whose unbeaten 71 guided the team to victory. Alongside her, Nicola Carey provided valuable support with a quick-fire 27 off 15 balls. Together, they steered Mumbai to a comfortable victory, with the team needing just 14 runs off the final 2 overs. The high target set by Gujarat had put Mumbai under pressure, but Harmanpreet’s captaincy and her ability to hit big shots ensured they stayed on track.
 
Gujarat’s bowlers failed to maintain the required pressure as Mumbai's batters kept finding gaps and rotating the strike efficiently. Despite their early breakthroughs, Gujarat’s bowlers couldn’t halt Mumbai’s momentum, and the match ended with Mumbai’s dominant win by 7 wickets. The Warriors now face more pressure to regroup and address their inconsistencies after two losses, while Mumbai gained their first victory of the season, chasing down the target with ease.
 
Gujarat will need to rethink their bowling strategy as they look to bounce back in the next matches.
