Video of the Day – WPL 2025: Hayley Matthews welcomes Priya Mishra with three boundaries on the trot

Hayley Matthews dismissed Priya Mishra for three fours off successive deliveries to get the Mumbai Indians Women’s innings going during the Eliminator of the Women’s Premier League 2025 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, March 13.

A drag-down on leg-stump was appropriately dealt with by Matthews, who rocked on to the back foot to clobber the ball to the right of the fielder at deep mid-wicket. The second delivery of Priya’s first over was disdainfully cut across to the deep point region. A juicy full toss was swiped towards deep backward square leg for the third boundary on the bounce.

The 20-year-old leg spinner was at the receiving end of another bashing by the Barbadian top-order batter during the 16th over of the innings. Matthews ended up scoring 77 off 50 deliveries, the joint-top-scorer of the innings along with Nat Sciver-Brunt. Mishra ended up with figures of 0/40 in three overs.

It wasn’t just Matthews’ batting which was impressive during Gujarat. She starred with the ball too. Two of her dismissals were opposition skipper, Ashleigh Gardner, and aggressive middle-order batter, Bharti Fulmali. The Caribbean all-rounder ended up with a three-wicket haul to her name after claiming the final wicket of the Gujarat innings.
