Mumbai’s Magnificent Three Lead the Charge
\n\nMatch five of the Women’s Premier League 2025 saw the Mumbai Indians deliver a masterclass in dominance against the Gujarat Giants.

Natalie Sciver-Brunt stole the show with an unbeaten 57, a knock studded with 11 glorious boundaries. This wasn’t just another fifty; it propelled her into the elite group of WPL players with five or more scores of fifty or more.

Kerr and Matthews: All-Round Excellence
\n\nAmelia Kerr continued her consistent excellence, contributing 19 runs and claiming two wickets. This double of 250 runs and 25 wickets firmly places her in an elite category—only the second player to achieve this feat in WPL history.
Meanwhile, Hayley Matthews provided crucial support with both bat and ball, scoring 17 runs and taking three wickets. This haul moved her closer to Sophie Ecclestone’s record for most WPL wickets; she’s now just one wicket away!\n\n
A Victory Built on All-Round Prowess
