WPL 2023: UP Warriors stopped Mumbai Indians’ winning run, poor fielding became the reason for the first defeat – up warriorz stops mumbai indians winning run in wpl 2023
Mumbai’s batting did not work
England’s left-arm star spinner Sophie Ecclestone took three wickets as UP Warriors stopped Mumbai Indians on a small score. If Issy Wong had not scored 32 runs in 19 balls, Mumbai’s score would have been worse. Captain Alyssa Healy’s decision to bowl after winning the toss was justified by the UP bowlers. He bowled disciplined in front of the in-form Mumbai batsmen. Mumbai’s score was 56 for two after ten overs. Healy Mathews (35) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (25) looked to be building a partnership. However, both could not convert good starts into big innings.
Harmanpreet was sent to the pavilion by Deepti Sharma and Mathews by Sophie. Earlier, Yastika Bhatia (five) and Nat Sciver Brunt (seven) were also dismissed cheaply. Amelia Kerr (3) could only play five balls and fell victim to Rajeshwari Gaikwad. The Warriors dismissed Mumbai for 78 for five at the start of the 14th over. Amanjot Kaur also could not leave any impact and became a victim of Sophie. Sophie also got full support from the rest of the bowlers from the other end. Rajeshwari Gaikwad took two wickets for 16 runs in four overs. Deepti took two wickets for 34 runs.
Fielders missed a lot of catches
The fielders of Mumbai Indians dropped a lot of catches in this match. Alyssa Healy and Kiran Navagire missed catches on two consecutive balls. Tahlia McGrath got a life on her very first ball. He took Mumbai away from the match by hitting 6 fours and a six in 25 balls. In the last over, Sophie Ecclestone hit a six to win UP.
