The first match of the inaugural season of the Women’s Premier League will see the home team Mumbai Indians take on Gujarat Giants Women at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday.
The Women’s Premier League has been praised as a game-changer for women’s cricket.
The league consists of 5 teams who will face each other twice during the group stage in a round-robin format.
Gujarat Giants have appointed Australia’s wicketkeeper-batter Beth Mooney as their captain. Meanwhile Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the Mumbai Indians side.
Both teams have got a number of experienced internationals and local talents, hence we can expect a close-fought game.
Beth Mooney: The skipper of Gujarat Giants has a great record in T20Is, having scored 2350 runs in 83 matches at an average of 40.51 and a strike rate of 124.60. She was the player of the match in the recently concluded T20 WC final against South Africa as she scored 74 not out of just 53 balls.
Ashleigh Gardner: The middle-order batter and an offspinner from Australia was bought for a record sum of INR 3.2 crore – the joint-highest earning overseas player. Her fearless batting and consistent wicket-taking skills make her a valuable asset for any side.
Harmanpreet Kaur: The skipper of the Indian National team led her side to the semi-finals in the recently concluded T20 World Cup. She is considered one of the most destructive batters in women’s cricket and can win matches on her own. She had a great start to this year with two fifties in eight T20I innings at an average of 37.83 and her performance will be the key for Mumbai.
Natalie Sciver: The England All-rounder was Mumbai Indians’ most expensive buy at the auction (INR 3.2 crore). She finished as the second-highest run-getter at the T20 World Cup in South Africa with 216 runs in just 5 games at an average of 72.00. Her excellent all-round ability makes her the key player for the MI side.
