Mumbai Indians | 160-6
- Both teams will be delighted with the final result, but both would believe they might have performed more.
- Mumbai lost their openers early and didn’t get off to a good start, but Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet kept the clock ticking.
- The duo put up a 50-plus partnership for the third wicket and stabilized the innings, but they died just as they were ready to accelerate.
- Kerr gave the innings a boost, while Sajana made a useful cameo toward the finish.
- UP were good with the ball, but their fielding might have been better; there were several catches dropped, and the outcome may have been otherwise if they were all caught.
UP Warriorz | 118-9
- 161 was a respectable number, and MI made it appear like an absolute mountain.
- The Warriorz pursuit never got off; by the end of the powerplay, they were 17/3 and couldn’t recover. Wickets fell at regular intervals, making for a weak batting effort.
- Deepti Sharma was the only one who scored runs; she hit a fifty, but it was only consolation at best.
- Saika Ishaque was the standout bowler, taking three wickets, while Sciver-Brunt claimed two.
- The Warriorz hitters lacked application tonight, and this defeat will have a negative impact on their NRR moving ahead.
