Mumbai Indians: Hayley Matthews, G Kamalini (wk), Amelia Kerr, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Nicola Carey, Sajeevan Sajana, Amanjot Kaur, Sanskriti Gupta, Poonam Khemnar, Shabnim Ismail, Triveni Vasistha

Veteran South Africa seamer Shabnim Ismail starts off brilliantly, bowling in the channel and even drawing Beth Mooney's outside edge off the fifth delivery. But young wicketkeeper G Kamalini drops the straightforward chance. Ismail is not impressed, and skipper Harmanpreet doesn't know how to react. Still a superb over, with just one run off it.

G Kamalini makes amends for her drop, by pulling off a very good catch to help Ismail get rid of Sophie Devine. But in comes Kanika Ahuja, and gets going right away, stroking an unbeaten nine-ball 20. Mooney is also not out on 32 off 24, as Gujarat blast 62 runs in the powerplay.

Mumbai Indians have pulled things back admirably after the powerplay. Amelia Kerr catches Mooney (33) off her own bowling in her first over, before Nicola Carey traps Giants skipper Ashleigh Gardner (20) in front. Hayley Matthews then sends back the well-set Kanika Ahuja (35) to leave GG four down.

GG: 101/4 (11)

Georgia Wareham (27 not out) and debutant Ayushi Soni (11) have steadied the GG ship, making sure they do not lose another wicket. But with Soni unable to score at even run-a-ball, Gujarat take the tough call of retiring her out. Bharti Fulmali walks out to bat, with the run rate at around eight and a half.

The move to retire out Ayushi Soni pays off, and how! The hard-hitting Bharti Fulmali smacks a last-ball six to end not out on 36 off just 15, and along with Georgia Wareham (43 not out off 33), has propelled the Giants to a strong 192-run total. Let's see if Mumbai can chase this down.

G Kamalini partners Hayley Matthews at the top of the order for Mumbai Indians, who commence their chase of a total bigger than any they have chased down in WPL history. MI's highest successful chase is 191, but these stats are meant to be challenged in the ever-evolving modern game. Renuka Singh bowls a tidy first over, while Kashvee Gautam shares the new ball with her.

Beth Mooney showcases her experience and class as she expertly stumps G Kamalini (13) off Renuka Thakur's bowling. Kashvee Gautam then dismisses the dangerous Hayley Matthews (22), keeping Gujarat Giants in control. All rests on MI skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's shoulders now, as she is at the crease alongside India teammate Amanjot Kaur.

Sophie Devine with the breakthrough! The in-form Black Caps all-rounder gets rid of Amanjot Kaur (40 off 26), just when the Indian was starting to put Mumbai in a good position to chase this total down. Harmanpreet Kaur is still in the middle, though, and has now been joined by Nicola Carey.

What a knock under pressure from captain Kaur! She exhibits her clutch skills, bringing up a 33-ball fifty and elevating the run-scoring when needed to take Mumbai Indians within touching distance of victory. Nicola Carey giving her very good company as MI need just 14 from 12 balls.

She has done it! Harmanpreet Kaur has embellished her masterful knock with a glorious last-over boundary that takes Mumbai Indians to victory. The captain plays a memorable innings, a superbly paced 71 not out off 43, powering her team to its highest successful chase in the tournament's history. Gujarat Giants lose their first game of the season, and Mumbai extend their winning streak against them to 8-0!
