यूपी वॉरियर्स vs मुंबई इंडियंस, मैच 10 Commentary, Live Updates

That wraps up an entertaining game, with UP Warriorz picking up back-to-back wins and finally moving off the bottom spot, while Mumbai Indians will have a few questions to answer ahead of their next outing. The WPL action, however, does not stop here, with another big clash coming up shortly as Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on Delhi Capitals. You can simply switch tabs to catch all the coverage of that game. Cheers!

Meg Lanning, the victorious skipper of UP Warriorz, is also the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for her excellent knock. She says that it is a nice bonce-back for them. Adds that it was not ideal to lose the opening game, but the group stayed positive and backed themselves. Mentions that getting back-to-back wins against a strong MI side is very pleasing and gives them momentum going ahead in the season. Says that Mumbai have some strong batters, you need to be clear with your specific plans, and they prepared very well in the last two games. Further adds that it is very enjoyable batting alongside Pheobe, and hopes to continue building such partnerships. Tells that they could have finished their batting innings well, but Mumbai bowled really well towards the end. Ends by saying that there is still room for improvement and they are looking ahead to the next game.

Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of Mumbai Indians, mentions that her team wanted to chase after winning the toss, but they didn't bowl well, although they managed to restrict the opposition to under 200, which was a positive. However, she acknowledges that their batting in the powerplay wasn't great, and it's an area they need to work on. Kaur praises the Lanning-Litchfield partnership, noting that they were both batting hard, but unfortunately, her team missed a few chances in between. She emphasizes that at this level, missed chances can put a lot of pressure on the opposing team. She also stresses the need for her team to discuss and improve, as they've been making too many mistakes. She believes that with a good team and fewer mistakes, they can win matches. Ended up saying that at the end Amanjot Kaur and Kerr's partneship lit some hopes for them and she is hopefull and they will continue like this in upcoming matches.

Presentation Time...

UP Warriorz will be very pleased with their bowling effort. Kranti Gaud set the tone early with her first wicket of the season, and Sophie Ecclestone followed it up soon after. They tightened their grip through the middle overs, with Chloe Tryon and Deepti Sharma keeping things under control. There was a brief moment of concern when Amanjot and Kerr launched a counter-attack, but Shikha Pandey struck at just the right time to all but seal the game.

Earlier in the game, UP Warriorz put up an imposing total, built around a commanding 119-run partnership between the Australian pair of Phoebe Litchfield and Meg Lanning, with both bringing up well-earned half-centuries. However, they just could not quite finish with the late surge they would have wanted and might feel they left a few runs out there. Mumbai Indians found it tough for large parts of the innings, but Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amelia Kerr sparked a late fightback, combining brilliantly in the final overs to pick up five wickets while conceding just 10 runs, keeping their side firmly in the contest.

Mumbai Indians needed a strong start but never quite got one. They tried a fourth opening combination by sending out Sajana Sajeevan alongside Hayley Matthews, but it failed to click, and they made poor use of the Powerplay while losing both openers early. Nat Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet Kaur then attempted to stabilise the innings, but with the required rate climbing, they too fell, leaving MI struggling at 69/5. Amanjot Kaur and Amelia Kerr mounted a spirited counter-attack with an 83-run partnership that briefly kept the chase alive, but in the end, the target proved a step too far.

UP Warriorz have completed the double over Mumbai Indians, becoming only the second team to win both their league matches against MI after Delhi Capitals in the WPL. Fittingly, that Capitals side was led by Meg Lanning, and with this result, UP have firmly put their season back on track.

OUT! Oh my word, what a take that is from Harleen Deol. Deepti Sharma pitches it fuller again, just outside off, angling it away. Nicola Carey heaves it across the line, but fails to make a proper connection. The ball loops over the mid on region, but Deol sprints back, takes a small leap and scoops the ball firmly into her hands. That is not at all an easy one, as usually when the fielders land on their elbow, they spill it out, but Deol makes sure she grabs the ball tight, and doesn't bobble it away.

Strategic Break! Fair to say UP Warriorz have won the Powerplay here, sending both the MI openers back to the hut. They have kept the runs in check as well, but now they have to keep the pressure in the middle overs as well. Mumbai Indians have lost two wickets, but the key for them is that the two most experienced players for them are out in the middle. This pair will hold the key in the chase.
