Mumbai Indians booked their place in the final with a dominant performance against UPW on Sunday. They focused moreover on the Aussies in the UPW team, alongside McGrath, Healy and Harris were expected to score high. However, it was England bowler Issy Wong who stole the show with her fast and straight bowling. She scored a hat-trick that turned the game in MIW's favour, with Healy falling early to set the tone. While Kiran Navgire batted well, other UPW players struggled to contribute significantly. MIW captain Kaur's proactive changes worked to perfection, especially her decision to bring Wong back into the attack for a crucial hat-trick that sped up the end of the game.

MI vs UPW Highlights- WPL 2023

UP Warriorz were defeated by Mumbai Indians with a margin of 72 runs in the WPL 2023 Eliminator match (match number 21) at the DY Patil Stadium based in Navi Mumbai on Friday. While chasing a target of 183 runs, UP-W were completely bowled out in 17.4 overs for 110. Kiran Navgire hit 43 off 27 balls in an otherwise poor outing for UPW. Meanwhile, Issy Wong grabbed four wickets including a hat-trick and dismissed Saika Ishaque twice. Set a target of 183 runs, MI reached 182/4 in 20 overs, thanks to an unbeaten knock of 72 runs off 38 balls from Nat Sciver-Brunt. Meanwhile, Sophie Ecclestone takes two wickets for UP Warriorz and leads the Purple Cap race. The win also helped MI reach the final where they will face Delhi Capitals.

 

Beginning with the bat, Mumbai Indians scored 182-4. MI had a decent start but both their openers - Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Matthews - failed to make capital out of their starts. Nat Sciver-Brunt top-scored for MI with a blistering 72 not out from 38 balls and while skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was out for 14 balls.

In the response, MI bowled out UPW in 17.4 overs for 110 having Kiran Navgire scoring 43 off 27 balls. Young pacer Issy Wong took 4/15 for MI during an outstanding spell and also became the first ever player to take a hat-trick in the WPL.

Earlier, UP Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy won the toss and invited Mumbai Indians to bat first. Mumbai got off to a slow start in the knockout clash as the UP Warriorz bowlers bowled a good line and length in the first half of the match. The first half of the MI vs UPW WPL 2023 encounter was dominated by the bowlers who did not allow the batsmen to get an easy run or get any big individual totals.

It was Nat Sciver-Brunt who saved the day for Mumbai, bringing his brutal best when her team needed it most. The star batter came up with some much-needed momentum late in the innings and was well supported by Amelia Kerr (29 off 19 balls, 5x4s) as the duo stitched together a solid 60 runs for the fourth wicket.

UP Warriorz (Playing XI): Alyssa Healy(w/c), Simran Shaikh, Shweta Sehrawat, Tahlia McGrath, Kiran Navgire, Grace Harris, Deepti Sharma, Anjali Sarvani, Sophie Ecclestone, Soppadhandi Yashasri, Parshavi Chopra

 

Mumbai Indians Women (Playing XI): Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Yastika Bhatia(w), Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Pooja Vastrakar, Melie Kerr, Issy Wong, Humaira Kazi, Amanjot Kaur, Saika Ishaque, Jintimani Kalita
