Sciver-Brunt, the league\u2019s most expensive foreign recruit along with Australia\u2019s Ashleigh Gardner, sealed victory in the final over with a paddle shot that raced to the boundary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1up63on\">\u201cOver the moon,\u201d Mumbai coach and former England captain Charlotte Edwards said when asked for her reaction. \u201cTo win this is one of my greatest achievements in my career.
