WPL: Matthews, Sciver-Brunt Help Mumbai Indians Beat Gujarat Giants By 47 Runs, Enter Final

Openers Nat Sciver-Brunt and Hayley Matthews led Mumbai Indians to their second Women's Premier League final as their power-packed knocks laid the cornerstone for the team's 47-run win over Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator at the Brabourne Stadium on Thursday (March 13). After a rather sedate powerplay, Sciver-Brunt (77 off 41) and Matthews (77 off 50) displayed brute force to fire Mumbai Indians to a daunting 213 for four. Following a particularly ordinary show in the field, the Giants were on self-destructing mode in the chase with three run-outs being an indicator of that. Their innings ended at 166 all out in 19.2 overs with Matthews also chipping in with the ball, striking twice. MI will now meet Delhi Capitals in the final on Saturday (March 15).
