Mumbai Indians (MI) have continued their domination in the ongoing Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023 by claiming the fourth consecutive victory. In the 10th match, Mumbai took on UP Warriorz at Brabourne Stadium and defeated them by eight wickets on Sunday.

Batting first, UP Warriorz posted a total of 159 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Captain Alyssa Healy was the top scorer for the team, contributing 58 runs off 46 balls, including 7 fours and 1 six. Tahlia McGrath also chipped in with 50 off 37 balls, hitting 9 fours. Amelia Kerr was the pick of the bowler for Mumbai, taking 2 wickets for 33 runs in her quota of 4 overs.

In response, Mumbai Indians chased down the target with ease, reaching 164 for the loss of just 2 wickets in 17.3 overs. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was the star of the night as she led from the front and stayed unbeaten on 53 off 33 balls, including 9 fours and 1 six. Harman was well supported by England star Nat Sciver-Brunt who remained undefeated on 45 off 31 balls, hitting 6 fours and a maximum.

“Very happy with the performance. The way we are gelling together, I think this is the best tournament so far. Thanks to Nat, she played really well. Because of her I got some time to settle in and later play some shots. The way they were batting, we were a bit tense, but I knew one or two wickets could get momentum back into our favour. We were calculating how many overs were left and which bowlers to target, and that’s what cricket is all about. You gotta express yourself and pick your targets. We just need to keep doing the right things,” sad Harmanpreet after bagging the Player of the Match award.
