The Gujarat Giants paid heavily for their rash approach as Mumbai Indians' bowlers, spearheaded by off-spinner Hayley Matthews, executed a flawless performance, dismissing them for 120 in their Women's Premier League encounter on Tuesday.

The Giants succumbed to frequent wicket losses as they opted for heavy hits over strategic partnerships. Matthews took the reins, achieving remarkable figures of 3 for 16 with her expert use of flight and pace variations.
