The hopes of two Australian stars leading their sides into the final of the Women's Premier League in India has been dashed after Ash Gardner's Gujarat Giants suffered a heavy defeat at the penultimate hurdle.
Seeking to set up a clash with Meg Lanning's already-qualified finalists Delhi Capitals, Gardner's team were hammered in Thursday's eliminator by Mumbai Indians, who prevailed by 47 runs at their home Brabourne Stadium to book their spot in Saturday's final in the same arena.
