Match Over

Yay finally MI lost a match in this season🤣

UP Warriorz won by 5 wkts

Wong to Ecclestone, SIX runs

Ecclestone finishes it off in style! MI are no longer invincible! Low full toss outside off stump and Ecclestone is waiting for that sort of delivery! She plants her front foot and clatters it over the bowler's head!

19.3 Wong to Ecclestone, SIX runs

6:52pm Wow, what a low-scoring thriller that turned out to be. It ebbed, flowed and in the end, the Warriorz did just enough to hold their nerve and get past the finish line. Credit must go to Harris and McGrath for the way they batted in the middle overs and broke the back of the run-chase. At the end, Deepti and Ecclestone found the fence just when their side needed them to. Take nothing away from MI, though. They did not put up a massive total on the board but fought throughout. But, just like it felt at the half-way stage, they were perhaps 10-15 runs short. Had they had that luxury, they might well have outlasted the Warriors.

But apart from the what-ifs, this result could have massive ramifications on the play-offs race. The Warriors are now in pole position to qualify. If RCB lose later in the day, they will definitely be eliminated. A loss for the Gujarat Giants will make things very precarious for them too, considering their NRR, as things stand, is the worst in the WPL.

Smiles all around in the yellow camp. Deserving winners today - for the way they bowled and the captaincy from Healy was outstanding too. This wasn't a 127 pitch. MI got starts but threw them away. Ecclestone, Deepti and Gayakwad combined to put the brakes. It took a handy cameo from Wong to get to 127 for MI. In the chase, the Warriorz were wobbling at 33/3 but having been let off first ball by Yastika, McGrath took toll and counterattacked to lift the rate. Harris, Deepti and Ecclestone calmed the nerves and got two crucial points for their side.

It is a thriller. Great.

Wong to Ecclestone, SIX, full toss, smashed down the ground and all the way. Outstanding victory for UP. They have handed MI the first loss of the season. This victory now puts RCB in huge trouble because of a poor net run rate

Congratulations to UP Warriorz W for winning the match.🥳

Congratulations to Deepti Sharma for winning the PoTM award.👏

Cheers..
