Matthews was aggressive in the powerplay and especially severe on anything short. Mumbai Indians then opened with West Indies captain Hayley Matthews & wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia.īhatia took strike first and played out Ashleigh Gardner cautiously but Matthews was on song from the outset as she swung Mansi Joshi for a six off just the second ball she faced before hitting a four off the very next ball. The opener started with Gujarat Giants winning the toss and opting to bowl first. “It was a big victory, yes, but the next games are very important,” she said. It was a big day for women’s cricket but we told the team to not worry about it and play naturally and express themselves.” She further mentioned that while their opener was definitely encouraging, the team will remain focused on keeping the momentum going. “It was a brilliant start, it felt like a dream come true,” said the captain. Adding to the fireworks was skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who led from the front to score the tournament’s first-ever half century. Mumbai Indians were off to a thunderous start as they outclassed Gujarat Giants by 143 runs and won the inaugural match of the Women’s Premier League at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
