The Mumbai Indians had a dominant show with the ball as they managed to clean up the UP Warriorz batting unit with such ease. Saika Ishaque chipped in with the wicket in her first over to get rid of Kiran Navgire.
The rest of the top order also crumbled as they were unable to put much of a fight. The side now will be second in the points table following their win by 42 runs.
MI put up a total of 160 runs for the loss of 6 wickets as Nat Sciver-Brunt top-scored for the holders with 45 runs against the UP Warriorz.
Amelia Kerr’s 39 proved incredibly useful, while skipper Harmanpreet Kaur added 33 runs off her bat. S Sanjana’s quickfire 22 runs contribution ensured that MI would finish strong following a slow start to the innings.
Mumbai Indians skipper Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and opted to bat first against UP Warriorz as the holders lost their openers Hayley Matthews and Yatika Bhatia to Chamari Athapaththu early in the game.
Both UP Warriorz and Mumbai Indians will be looking to make a quick turnaround following their losses in their respective fixtures in the previous game.
