GG 8/0 (1)

Despite losing the wicket of Beth Mooney, Gujarat have had a decent powerplay courtesy of some fine shot-making by Sophie Devine and Anushka Sharma. GG would want them to capitalize on the momentum and take them to a big score.

GG 48/1 (6)

Gujarat Giants lose back-to-back wickets of Anushka Sharma and Sophie Devine (25). Sharma was caught at long on of Amelia Kerr's bowling while Sophie Devine was bamboozled by Nat-Sciver Brunt. Georgia Wareham comes to the crease to join Ashley Gardener.

GG 76/3 (11)

The 50-run stand is completed between Ashleigh Gardner (37*) and Georgia Wareham (16*), where the bulk of the scoring is done by Gardner. She took a liking for Hayley Matthews in the 16th over and smashed her for 19 runs in the over.

GG 125/3 (16)

Hayley Matthews gives just 7 runs in the last over to restrict Gujarat to 167 in the first innings. Skipper Ashley Gardener and Georgia Wareham played some handy knocks to take their team to a competitive total against Mumbai in a must-win match.

GG 167/4 (20)

Sajeevan Sajana has found the boundary twice to give the MI innings some momentum early in the innings. In the previous matches, she has failed to handle the moving ball but this time, she has looked to get over it and provide her team with a solid start. Hayley Matthews looking solid at the other end as well.

MI 17/0 (3)

The powerplay has not gone the way Mumbai Indians would have wanted to. Sajeevan Sajana started strong but her opening partner Hayley Matthews got dismissed by Sophie Devine. She went for a cut and the length ball took an inside edge to knock over the stumps. Sajana departs the next over as she lofts a delivery from Kashvee Gautam to the hands of the mid-off fielder.

MI 33/2 (6)

Harmanpreet Kaur (19*) and Amelia Kerr (10*) - two of Mumbai's most experienced players are on the crease but they have a stiff target on their hands. MI still need 103 runs to win in the last 10 overs in this almost do-or-die match.

MI 65/3 (10)

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur is batting beautifully for her team but the target at hand is still an uphill task as Mumbai need 58 runs to win in the last 4 overs with 6 wickets in hand. It MI wants to win from here, then the set Kaur will have to play one of the knocks of her life.

MI 110/4 (16)

26 runs to win in the last over and Harmanpreet Kaur hits the first ball for 6 leaving 20 in last 5 balls.

The 2nd ball is a dot leaving MI needing 20 off just 4 balls.

A beautiful hit by Kaur over extra cover for a six.

That's only a single and Kaur is out of strike with MI needing 13 off 2 balls.

In the air and taken, Khemnar departs in trying to hit a six and MI now need an impossible 13 off just 1 ball.

That's only a single off the last ball and Gujarat Giants have won the match by 11 runs and became the 2nd team to qualify for the playoffs.

That's a wrap from our end. We'll meet soon with another blog, until then, bye bye.
