🏏WPL 2023 - UP Warriorz W vs Mumbai Indians W: Eliminator🏏 - Page 8

Mumbai finish things off in style and end with a big total of 182 runs on the board and they will now take all the momentum going into the break. UP remained very competitive but they will feel the game slipped away in the death overs and that final over that cost them 18 runs could also make a huge difference.

Mumbai will be pretty content with that score on the board but with the wicket playing really well, they might have to work hard to defend this total. Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia started strongly with the bat and the latter picked up boundaries with ease but neither of them was able to build on it. There was a little partnership between skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Natalie Sciver-Brunt but it was soon broken and then came the stand that really put Mumbai in command. Sciver-Burnt and Amelia Kerr 60 quick-fire put on runs with the former notching up a lovely half-century and Pooja Vastrakar came in the final over to get a couple of lusty blows away.

Right then, UP need 183 runs to win and seal a spot in the finals. It is quite a daunting task but Alyssa Healy and co will be up for it. Mumbai have the runs on the board and do have the bowlers to do the job as well. Can Mumbai defend the runs in front of a vociferous home crowd? Or will UP silence everyone in the stadium and dump Mumbai out of the competition? Let's find out as the run chase is up next.
