In response, Mumbai Indians Women's openers, Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Matthews, provided a solid start with a 50-run opening partnership in 6.3 overs.

Despite facing a challenging situation, Kaur exhibited remarkable composure and power, smashing 95 runs off just 48 balls, which included 10 fours and 5 sixes.

Despite a shaky middle-order performance and an increasing asking rate, Kaur's onslaught ensured Mumbai Indians Women stayed in contention. With the required run rate mounting, Kaur's aggressive batting, coupled with some erratic bowling from Gujarat Giants, saw Mumbai Indians Women sail past the target with ease. Kaur's unbeaten knock of 95 off 48 balls left the Giants stunned and secured a memorable victory for Mumbai Indians Women.
