It's W,W,W,W for Mumbai Indians in the WPL 2023 as they were yet again dominant in this match against the UP Warriorz. Nat Sciver finishes wih a six after Kaur's fifty as MI chase this one with 8 wickets in hand. They have been some team in the tournament. Warriorz probably did not had those many runs on the board and cannot outclass the MI team in the chase. Yastika provided a good start before some setback in the middle overs. But Kaur and Nat Sciver were superb to cross the line inside the 18th over. So, MI are still leading the league stage and bossing the tournament. It was a pleasure brining this to you. I Varun Malik sign off, see you again.
Kaur has made another fifty and she was once again eye pleasing to watch. She showed her class at the right time and is now leading her team to another win.
Kaur and Sciver are going all guns blazing at the moment now. They have brought down the required rate and now 37 are needed off 30
Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver are leading Mumbai's charge as they scored 72 after losing both the openers inside the 10 overs. 88 needed from final 10 and the batters need to up the ante a bit.
It's another one for UP. They have got Matthews to send both the openers back. They are staging a comeback but its' Harmanpreet out with Nat Sciver now
And UP have got their first wicket in the form of Yastika.
Umpire gave Matthews not out on LBW and UP reviewed. It showed three reds but wait third umpire re-look at it and there was bat first and Matthews survives.
MIW are out to chase now as Matthews and Yastika are out in the middle. A strong start is needed.
So, UP have finished at 159/6 as the MI side staged a comeback. This was some contest between the bat and the ball. Healy and McGrath starred for UP as they hit the fifties, before Ishaque yet again displayed her brilliance. She got them out in the same over and UP lost their way in the end. Ishaque finished with three wickets and now has 12 wickets in the tournament. Can MI chase this or will UP spinners produce something good? Back with the chase in a short while.
Saika Ishaque has given us another reason to applaud her. She has sent back the half centurions and the big fishes Healy and McGrath in the same over. There is something special about her.
MI have lost their second review as well as Issy Wong wanted this LBW appeal to be sent upstairs. She pitched this one on a good length around the middle and off. Healy wanted to play a scoop and missed as the ball hit her pad. Wong wanted this to be reviewed but ball tracking shows it pitched outside leg.
It's fifty number two for Alyssa Healy in the WPL 2023. She has been good today as well and would like to free her arms more now.
Healy anchoring the batting well and McGrath has also joined the party and is going strong. UP have crossed the 100-run mark inside 12 overs and shall eye for something around 190 with wickets in hand.
A mixed sort of phase for both the teams. While UP scored 85 runs, MI got two crucial wickets in the first 10. Still Healy is out in the middle well set and would hope to go big. Meanwhile, Ishaque can be crucial for MI.
And Amelia Kerr strikes as she gets rid of the dangerous-looking Kiran Navgire. The UP batter had just hit a long straight six but has top edged this one to get out. Tahlia now comes in
And It's Ishaque once again with the wicket for Mumbai. She is proving to be a some bowler for Kaur's team. She gets Vaidya as UP lose their 1st.
And here we go. Healy and Vaidya have begin UP's batting. It's Vaidya once again at the top after her good knock in the previous match at the top of the lineup.
Yastika Bhatia(w), Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Dhara Gujjar, Amelia Kerr, Issy Wong, Amanjot Kaur, Humaira Kazi, Jintimani Kalita, Saika Ishaque
Devika Vaidya, Alyssa Healy(w/c), Shweta Sehrawat, Kiran Navgire, Tahlia McGrath, Deepti Sharma, Simran Shaikh, Sophie Ecclestone, Shabnim Ismail, Anjali Sarvani, Rajeshwari Gayakwad
We are looking for a good match, they did well in the previous match. Dhara comes in as Pooja is not playing. We want to go with the winning combination, we don't want to experiment much, Pooja was unfortunate to miss. I think 160 will be a decent total. Hopefully we manage to restrict them below that total.
We will bat first. The teams have put up big totals and if we can do that, we will be able to restrict the MI. Harris misses out, Ismail comes in. We executed well with bat and ball, we have confidence. I think we are enjoying our cricket and our company.
UP have opted to bat first and Grace Harris misses out as she is unwell. Vastrakar also misses for MI as she is injured.
MI and UP are ready to have a go at each other. A very crucial match for both the teams as it will help them in the top three finish.
It's the clash of probably the most balanced teams Mumbai Indians against another strong side UP Warriorz in the WPL 2023. The MI are unbeaten in the tournament so far, having won each of their three league games, while UP have two wins from three outings.
