Mumbai Indians | 127-10
- On this surface that is really not so horrible to bat, 127 is at least 13 runs under average.
- Indeed, there is a certain spin available, but there is also sufficient worth for strikes.
- Healy led the team admirably through. In the powerplay, she had narrow boundaries.
- Ecclestone convinced Sciver-Brunt and Matthews to prevent MI from moving.
- Harman was given to Deepti. MI was in disarray after Rajeshwari took Kerr’s crucial wicket.
- They would have collapsed sooner if it hadn’t been for Wong.
- Seems like the UP women will break Mumbai’s winning streak this season. And thanks to the bowling for that.
UP Warriorz | 129-5
- There was no 127 pitch. MI received beginnings but tossed them away. Ecclestone, Deepti, and Gayakwad worked together to slow down and press on.
- It needed an appearance from Wong to get MI to 127.
- The Warriorz were struggling at 33/3 in the chase, but after being let off the first ball by Yastika, McGrath grabbed impact and fought back to raise the tempo.
- Harris, Deepti, and Ecclestone helped to soothe the jitters and secure two critical points for their team.
