In a thrilling Eliminator match of the Women’s T20 League between Mumbai and UP, Mumbai emerged victorious by a massive margin of 73 runs. Mumbai, who batted first, scored a formidable total of 182/4 in their allotted 20 overs.
The highlight of Mumbai’s innings was the brilliant knock played by Nat Sciver-Brunt, who scored a magnificent 72 off just 38 balls. Her innings was studded with 9 fours and 2 sixes and was the backbone of the Mumbai innings. Along with her, other Mumbai batters contributed well, and they managed to put up a strong total on the board.
In response, UP never really got going and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Their top scorer was Kiran Navgire, who made 43 off 27 balls with 4 fours and 3 sixes. However, her efforts were not enough, and UP ended up getting bowled out for just 110 runs.
The star of the Mumbai bowling attack was Issy Wong, who picked up an incredible 4 wickets in her 4 overs. She was also the first player in WPL to take a hat-trick, and her feat will go down in the history books. The rest of the Mumbai bowlers also chipped in with wickets, and they managed to restrict the UP batting lineup to a low total.
Overall, it was a dominant performance by Mumbai, who played like a well-oiled machine and never let UP get into the game. With this victory, Mumbai has progressed to the next stage of the tournament, and they will be looking to continue their winning momentum in the coming matches. With this win, Mumbai have qualified for the Women’s T20 League Final and will face Delhi.
