Match 1 | MIvDC preview: Time for another last-ball-six kinda thriller?

Surely you don’t need a reminder of what happened in the 2024 Women’s Premier League opener. One ball, five runs to win, a debutant on strike, an experience bowler coming in to bowl. And boom, the ball was launched into the stands with a mighty bat swing. Mumbai Indians had pulled off a win from the jaws of defeat. Sajana Sajeevan, a star was born.

We are starting this month-long roller-coaster from Vadodara. A new stadium, a new caravan format, but the same MI Spirit. We know what it feels like to be champions. We know what it feels like to miss out by the skin of our teeth. And we are gunning to bring home the title once again.

MIvDC is a lovely rivalry. Two iconic cities, two legendary captains, a long history of playing out some epic games. This time around, both teams have added some solid domestic talent as well. Who’s the star waiting to be unleashed this time around?
