UPW Women vs MI Women, 10th Match at Mumbai, WPL, Mar 12 2023 - Match Result

11.15pm So for a quick recap, Alyssa Healy and Tahlia McGrath hit fifties to help UP Warriorz score 159. Saika Ishaque took three wickets, including the two half-centurions. Yastika Bhatia gave Mumbai Indians the quick start they would have wanted, but she and Hayley Matthews fell in quick succession. From there on in, it was the Harmanpreet Kaur-Nat Sciver-Brunt show! That's all the action from the Brabourne tonight. This is me, Abhimanyu, signing off on behalf of Srinidhi and K Vairavan. Goodbye everybody!

Mk: "What is healy talking about simran?! Why did she apologize?" Simran Shaikh had dropped Yastika Bhatia early in Mumbai Indians' innings.

Mumbai Indians captain and the player-of-the-match, Harmanpreet Kaur: "Very happy with the performance. I can't be thankful enough, the way we are playing and we are gelling together. This is the best tournament so far. After six overs, the ball started turning in the second innings. I was a little surprised with that. Thanks to Nat, she played really well. I got time to settle in. [On Healy-Mcgrath partnership] The way they were batting, we were a little tense. But I knew that if we are able to take one or two wickets, we could stop them, because we knew Harris was not playing and they didn't have anyone who could hit hard. Saika's over was the turning point. She has been the one taking responsibility. [On Ishaque going for runs] These things happen, but I have trust on her. That is why I brought her back and she got crucial wickets. [On accelerating with Sciver-Brunt] We were calculating very well. That time Sophie and Ismail were bowling well so we were calculating that there are other bowlers we can attack. Tomorrow is another rest day for us and again we are playing so we just need to take rest and think what we did well and how we can improve."

11.07pm Time for the presentation ceremony!

Vishal Pawar : "The number of wins are exactly in chronological order after first half of the tournament. 4,3,2,1,0."

Nat Sciver-Brunt: "It feels brilliant. The team's really on a high. I wanted to use inswingers. There was a little bit of seam movement. I was just trying not to get hit for boundaries on the leg-side. The boundaries are short so it's not easy being a bowler here. If you could pick the lengths on this pitch, you could hit. [On partnership with Harmanpreet] It was brilliant. I thought I should be hitting more boundaries and she just hit four boundaries in an over. That just put a nail in the chase."

Alyssa Healy: "I think we were probably 15-20 runs short. We needed a set batter at the end. It was as scratchy as it comes for me. It wasn't easy. We didn't score as many boundaries as the Mumbai Indians did. We also bowled too much junk and gave too many boundaries. We just have to see how we can do well with the players available. We have some bowlers on the bench and Harris as well. No prizes for being a good human is it? When an lbw that is not out is given out and Harmanpreet is bowled but the bails don't fall. We want to be a really good fielding side and she [Simran Shaikh] put her hands up and apologised and she did some good things on the field after that"

10.55pm What a partnership that was between Harmanpreet and Sciver-Brunt that made this chase look easy in the end! They came in and were both on zero when Yastika and Matthews fell in quick succession and looked like they were tied down for a bit but Harmanpreet and Nat Sciver-Brunt just took off and never looked back. What looked like a potentially thrilling finish at one point ended up being yet another comfortable win for Mumbai Indians. Of course, it was Saika Ishaque who shone again with the ball, picking up three wickets again.
