Sciver-Brunt scalps another as Sneh Rana falls LBW, dashing all hopes for Gujarat. She delivers a full delivery aimed at the off-stump, and Rana shuffles across to play a flick shot but misjudges. Gujarat opts for a review, but ball-tracking confirms that all three stumps would have been hit, upholding the original decision.

10:30 PM: 88/7 in 15.4 overs

Hemalatha falls prey to Kerr's tehnique, caught by Wong in the outfield. Kerr delivers a flighted legbreak outside off, tempting Hemalatha to step out and go for a lofted shot. However, she can only manage a sliced shot that ends up going straight to Wong at long-off. With Hemalatha's dismissal, the match could potentially come to a quick end. 

10:18 PM: 55/5 after 11 overs

Mumbai dismiss set batter Harleen Deol as Wong traps her in front of the stumps and a review goes waste. 

9:55 PM: 46/3 after 8 overs

Matthews dismisses Sutherland with a clear LBW decision. Sutherland tried on a pull shot but missed the ball which kept low and hit her back leg in front of the stumps. Sutherland walked back to the pavilion without scoring any runs off four balls faced. Matthews is on fire again tonight!

First Wong, then Kerr. Wong departs for a first-ball duck as Sneh Rana takes a crucial catch and bowled to put GG back in the game. Sneh bowled a low full toss, tempting Wong to drive back over the bowler's head. Unfortunately, Wong made contact with the toe-end of the bat, resulting in a simple return catch for Sneh. Kerr departs after being caught by Kim Garth at backward point off Tanuja Kanwar's bowling. With this wicket, Tanuja concludes her spell with a valuable contribution. 

8:47 PM: 136/5 in 17.2 overs

Yastika falls prey to a mix-up with Kaur, resulting in an easy run-out for Giants. Yastika had come down the pitch and got an under-edge that rolled towards short fine leg. She attempted a quick single, but Kaur seemed disinterested about running between the wickets. Sushma Verma didn't commit a mistake and removed the bails with ease. 

8:20 PM: 83/2 after 12 overs

Better late than never, Gujarat bounces back! Sciver-Brunt is dismissed by Kim Garth, out LBW! The Giants appeal for LBW, but it is initially adjudged not out. Upon review, it appears to be a clear-cut decision. Sciver-Brunt's attempt at a lap sweep was anticipated by Garth, who kept her focus and delivered a full delivery approaching the stumps. With this wicket, Garth comes out on top in the mini-battle, as Sciver-Brunt departs after scoring 36 runs, which included 5 fours and 1 six.

8:13 PM: 75/2 after 11 overs

Sneh Rana makes a comeback, and she comes close to dismissing Nat Sciver-Brunt, but the decision is overturned by the DRS. The umpire initially adjudged Sciver-Brunt as LBW, but the TV replay reveals that the ball was indeed missing the stumps. It was a lucky break for Sciver-Brunt, and Mumbai Indians managed to score only three runs off the over.
