Harmanpreet leads dominant MI to fourth straight win

A dominant half-century from Harmanpreet Kaur, coupled with impressive performances with the bat from Yastika Bhatia and Nat Sciver-Brunt helped Mumbai Indians register their fourth straight win in the inaugural Women’s Premier League. Half-centuries from Alyssa Healy and Tahlia McGrath appeared to be enough initially to inflict the first loss for MI in their campaign but the table-toppers eventually cruised to victory in pursuit of 160 with 15 balls to spare following a century stand.
