GG-W beat MI-W to qualify for the playoffs of the WPL 2026.
Match no. 19 of WPL 2026 proved to be a nail-biter. The defending champion, Mumbai Indians, took on Gujarat Giants Women on Friday in Vadodara. The game was important for both teams in order to qualify for the playoffs of the WPL 2026, and it went down to the wire.
It started with GG-W winning the toss and deciding to bat first. It was the first time since the final of 2024 that a team batted first after winning the toss. Beth Mooney got out cheaply for 5 off 8. It was followed by a decent stand between Sophie Devine (25 off 21) and Anushka Sharma (33 off 31).
Captain Ash Gardner played a good knock of 46 off 28, and Georgia Wareham played an unbeaten cameo of 44 off 26 balls. GG-W finished the first innings at 167/4 in 20 overs. It was a par score, but MI-W had a slow start to their chase.
Two in-form players, Hayley Matthews (6 off 8) and Nat Sciver-Brunt (2 off 6), got out cheaply, which put the defending champion on the back foot. S Sajana looked rusty and got out for 26 off 25. It was captain Harmanpreet Kaur who kept MI-W in the chase.
Amelia Kerr (20 off 16) and Amanjot Kaur (13 off 12) stayed for a while but couldn’t carry long. Harmanpreet, who tried hard, remained unbeaten on 82 off 48, as MI-W fell short by 11 runs, and GG-W booked a place in the playoffs.
