WPL 2025 top run-getters and wicket-takers after MI vs GG Eliminator (Updated) ft. Hayley Matthews and Amelia Kerr

Mumbai Indians walloped a resurgent Gujarat Giants unit in the Eliminator to qualify for the finals of the WPL 2025 season at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium. In doing so, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side made it to its second-ever WPL final and their first since winning the inaugural title back in 2023.

Batting first after losing the toss, Mumbai Indians racked up 213-4 from 20 overs despite losing opening batter Yastika Bhatia for just 15 earlier in the innings. Bhatia’s opening partner Hayley Matthews led Mumbai Indians’ recovery by sharing a huge 133-run partnership with in-form batter Nat Sciver-Brunt. Both overseas stars clobbered 10 boundaries each while unleashing match-defining 77-run knocks.

Mumbai captain Harmanpreet Kaur went berserk at the death with her scintillating 12-ball 36.

In response, the Gujarat Giants folded up for just 166 in 19.2 overs to surrender the chase in front of Hayley Matthews (3/31) and Amelia Kerr (2/28). For cracking 77 runs with the bat and for picking up three wickets with the ball, Matthews fittingly bagged the ‘Player of the Match’ award.
