Riding high on confidence after our dominant win over the Gujarat Giants, we stepped onto Chinnaswamy with one goal—to get the better of the table-toppers Mumbai Indians and make history!

Thought taking down Mumbai Indians twice in a season was one of the aims, the primary one was to topple them from the top of the league standings. And with the top spot in sight, we meant business from the very first ball.

Our S-Factor, Shikha Pandey, set the tone early, striking with a breakthrough and bowling with pinpoint accuracy. Economy, control, impact—she had it all.

Belsy kept the momentum going, sending the dangerous Hayley Matthews back to the dugout and leaving Mumbai wobbling at 35/2.

And then came JJ’s magic—getting rid of Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt in quick succession, landing a massive blow to Mumbai’s batting lineup.

What’s better than a three-fer? A three-fer celebrated SRK-style! JJ making it two in two with her iconic pose? Absolute scenes at the Chinnaswamy.

Minnu Mani wasn’t sitting back either—two wickets in an over to tighten the noose around MI further.

And just when you thought Belsy was done, she pulled off a stunner to dismiss Amelia Kerr—easily the best catch of the tournament!

By the time we were done, the inaugural WPL champions were held to under 125—a defensive masterclass from our bowling unit!

And then, Jodi No.1 walked in to finish the job.

Shifu was all gas, no brakes, striking at 153.57 to ensure we took control of the chase from ball one.

And when it comes to sealing a run-chase, Meg Lanning did what Meg Lanning does best—anchoring the innings with a sublime 60* off 49 balls to guide us home.

Two matches. Two wins over Mumbai. Top of the table. This team is making history, and we’re here for it.
