WPL 2026: Harmanpreet’s 82 Not Out In Vain As GG Enter Playoffs With 11-run Win Over MI
Harmanpreet Kaur: Harmanpreet Kaur brought out her big-hitting mode yet again by hitting 82 not out. But it went in vain as Gujarat Giants entered the 2026 WPL playoffs with an 11-run win over Mumbai Indians at the BCA Stadium, Kotambi, on Friday.
Opting to bat first, GG posted 167/4, thanks to skipper Ashleigh Gardner’s 46 and Georgia Wareham’s unbeaten 44. The pair’s 71-run stand lifted the Giants past the 165-run mark, giving their bowlers a cushion to defend. MI faltered early in their chase as they slipped to 37/3 in seven overs.
But Harmanpreet staged a gusty fightback with a composed 82 not out off 48 balls - her sixth fifty against GG laced with eight fours and four sixes. But with wickets falling from the other end, Harmanpreet had to wage a lone battle, as GG ended a run of eight straight defeats to MI – something which came at a crucial stage of the season.
