Entering the match needing 55 runs to reach the four-figure mark, Kaur reached the milestone in the 18th over of the second innings. She is only the second player in the leagueā€™s history to cross the 1,000-run threshold, joining her Mumbai Indians teammate, Englandā€™s Nat Sciver-Brunt.

The captainā€™s knock was a masterclass in pacing an innings. She scored unbeaten 71 off just 43 deliveries, hitting seven boundaries and two sixes. The achievement further cements her status as the most prolific Indian batter in the tournament, having recently overtaken Delhi Capitalsā€™ Shafali Verma in the all-time standings.Ā Where to Watch Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 Live Streaming.

Milestone for Harmanpreet Kaur

Mumbai Indians Clinch Record Chase

Kaurā€™s individual brilliance served a dual purpose, guiding Mumbai Indians to their highest successful run chase in WPL history. Chasing a formidable target of 193, Mumbai appeared to be under pressure after losing early wickets.

However, a steadying partnership with Amanjot Kaur (40) and a late-game explosion alongside Nicola Carey (38*) ensured Mumbai reached the target with four balls to spare. The win maintains Mumbaiā€™s flawless head-to-head record against the Gujarat Giants, having now won all eight of their encounters across four seasons.
