To date, Kaur has amassed 1,016 runs in 30 matches and 29 innings, boasting an average of 46.18 and a strike rate of 146.18, which includes ten half-centuries.

Consistent Form Against Giants

Continuing her excellent form against the Giants, Kaur has scored 422 runs against them at an average of 84.4 and a strike rate of 176.56, including five half-centuries. She has also excelled in run chases during the WPL, accumulating 432 runs in just 12 innings at an impressive average of 72, featuring five half-centuries and a top score of 95.

Mumbai Indians' Dominance

With this victory, the Mumbai Indians have maintained a perfect record against Gujarat Giants, winning all eight matches they have played against them in WPL history.
