In a mismatch of epic proportions, Mumbai Indians crushed Gujarat Giants by 143 runs to stamp their authority with an all-round show as the Women's Premier League got underway in Navi Mumbai on Saturday. After posting a mammoth 207/5, powered by captain Harmanpreet Kaur's sensational 30-ball 65 laced with 14 boundaries, Mumbai Indians' bowlers led by Saika Ishaque (4/11) produced a superb show to restrict Gujarat Giants to just 64/9 in 15.1 overs and make a dream start to the competition. Gujarat Giants captain Beth Mooney suffered an injury in the first over and retired hurt after initial checkup on the field, and could not return to bat again. Mumbai Indians not only dominated Gujarat Giants right from the start but also showcased their aggressive style of play both with the bat and the ball in the first game itself, delighting a fairly-packed crowd.
Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians will be facing each other in the opening match of the inaugural edition of the Women's Premier League on Saturday. The contest has been delayed by half an hour. It will be played at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Australian star opener Beth Mooney is the captain of Gujarat while India's captain Harmanpreet Kaur will be leading the Mumbai side. It could be a high-scoring game between the sides as the pitch at the venue is expected to be a batting paradise.
India skipper Rohit Sharma expressed his displeasure over the talks around the pitches for the ongoing India vs Australia Test series. The pitch in Nagpur, that hosted the first match, became a talk of the town even before the start of the series. The second and third Tests took place in Delhi and Indore, respectively, and the surfaces of both the venues also came under the radar of critics for the amount of turn they offered to the spinners. It is worth noting that all the three matches ended in less than three days.
Seemed down an out after suffering defeats in Nagpur and Delhi, Australia made a strong comeback in the just-concluded third against India, clinching a nine-wicket win to make 1-2 in the four-match series. Inspired by Nathan Lyon's 11-wicket haul in the match and five-for from Matthew Kuhnemann in the first innings, Australia made life difficult for the India batters. India crumbled to 109 in the first innings, and if wasn't for Cheteshwar Pujara's half-century in the second innings, the hosts could've lost the game by an innings.
Yet another match in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has ended in less than three days. On Friday, it was India's turn to taste loss as the Rohit Sharma-led side were dominated by Australia throughout in the third Test. The surfaces in Nagpur and Delhi too attracted attention but the one in Indore copped the most flak. The ball was turning viciously in the first half hour and uneven bounce made the task tougher for the batters.
India skipper Rohit Sharma has advised the team's batters to learn from Shreyas Iyer and Cheteshwar Pujara on how to bat on a rank turner like Indore pitch. India failed in batting as the side scored only 272 runs across its two innings in the third Test in Indore that it lost by 9 wickets. While the Rohit-led side scored 109 runs in its first innings, it was bundled out for 163 in the second innings, which failed to stop Australia from winning the game. Rohit said there was a lot to learn from Cheteshwar Pujara and Shreyas Iyer who batted in contrasting styles to take the team past 150 in the second innings. Pujara mixed caution with aggression while Iyer unsettled the Australian spinners by going for an all-out attack.
