There were quite some fireworks on display during the first-half of the tournament opener, in the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants, at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai tonight.

On what looks like an excellent wicket to bat on, the MI women’s skipper Harmanpreet Kaur accepted the invitation to bat first gracefully, as she smashed the first WPL half-century off mere 22 deliveries to have the Giants’ bowlers on their haunches.

A fiery start from the West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews (47 off 31), and another onslaught off the bat of New Zealand allrounder Amelia Kerr (45* off 24) in addition to Kaur’s in the middle order, meant that MI Women registered a massive total of 207/5 in their 20 Overs.

As many as 130 runs were added by the Kerr-Kaur duo during the last ten Overs, with Pooja Vastrakar (15 off 8), and Issy Wong (6* off 1) providing the final touches in the end.

Skipper Harmanpreet returned back after scoring 65 off mere 30 deliveries, with the help of 14 Fours.
