Mumbai Indians were allowed to bat first after Gujarat Giants skipper Mooney opted to bowl first in the season opener of this inaugural season of Women’s Premier League.
Yastila Bhatia and Hayley MatThews have stepped out as MI’s opening pair while GGT put their bet on one of the most successful players Ashleigh Gardner, for the first over.
Gardener was confident in starting the innings as the initiating bowler and bowled a confident over, conceding just 2 runs.
WPL – The first edition features six teams: Gujarat Giants, Mumbai Indians Women, UP Warriorz, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
