- Published
Nat Sciver-Brunt starred with bat and ball as Mumbai Indians beat Gujarat Giants by five wickets in the Women's Premier League.
The England all-rounder took 2-26 before hitting 57 off 39 balls to anchor Mumbai's chase of 121.
She was dismissed with seven required but Sajeevan Sajana and 16-year-old WPL debutant G Kamalini saw Mumbai home with 23 balls to spare.
Sciver-Brunt was supported by Hayley Matthews (17 off 19) and Melie Kerr (19 off 20).
The Giants were bowled out for 120 from the final ball of their 20 overs.
Harleen Deol top-scored with 32 but there were more failures for Beth Mooney (one) and Laura Wolvaardt (four).
Matthews was the pick of the Mumbai bowlers with 3-16 with her off-spin, while leg-spinner Kerr claimed 2-22.
The win is Mumbai's first after a defeat in their opening game, while the Giants have now lost two of their three matches.
