The Mumbai Indians struggled throughout their chase, losing their first five wickets for just 69 runs in 11 overs.
As the defending champions faced a significant defeat with none of the top-order batsmen stepping up, Kerr (49 not out from 28 balls) and Amanjot (41 from 24 balls) brought some excitement to the game, capitalizing on their chances.
Amelia Kerr and Amanjot Kaur fought hard, putting together an 83-run partnership for the sixth wicket.
However, Shikha Pandey bowled a tight spell towards the end and broke the partnership with a sharp return catch to dismiss Amanjot, leaving Mumbai short in the end.

Unfortunately, this strategy backfired as their partnership lasted less than three overs, and the home team struggled during the PowerPlay.
It was a disappointing day for both Harmanpreet Kaur and Nicola Carey, who couldn’t make an impact.
The Warriorz were dominant in all aspects of the game.
Mumbai dropped several catches, allowing the duo to secure their gritty fifties.
