The first season of the Women’s Premier League went as an ideal inaugural Tournament and the second season has been even more exciting with fresh faces and young talent coming up. Every other contest in this tournament is unfolding new levels of excitement and records.
Last night, Mumbai Indians came up with an excellent display of teamwork against UP Warriorz. Winning the toss, Mumbai opted to bat first and found UP Warriorz celebrating early in the innings. In-form Yastika Bhatiya and Healy Mathews were dismissed for single-digit scores by Chamri Athapaththu before skipper Kaur and veteran Nat Sciver came up to the rescue.
Quick 30+ scores from Nat Sciver, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Amelia Kerr helped Mumbai to reach a good score and S Sanjana’s cameo towards the end pushed MI’s score to 160 at the end of 20 overs. 161 didn’t look enough on that surface and UP Warriorz batting line-up but MI were confident.
Shabnim Ismail, Shaika Ishaq, and Nat were too good with the new ball and picked up 3 wickets inside the first powerplay, and 4th under 10 overs and just gave away less than 50 runs. Deepti Sharma kept one end strong and started counterattack but wickets kept falling from the other end. Despite Deepti’s 53, MI concluded UP’s innings in just 118 runs in 20 overs and won the game by 42 runs.
