UP Warriors vs Mumbai Indians – UP’s captain Alyssa Healy won the toss in this match. Chose Chasing. Mumbai Indians batted first. The team had added 182 runs in 20 overs. Nutsever Brunt scored a brilliant half-century. UP had a target of 183. However, the team could not reach this target. All out for 110 runs. Issy Wang took 4 wickets for Mumbai. It also includes a hat-trick.

From this short match story, you will know who are the two players who were the reason for Mumbai’s success. Those two are Nutsever Brunt and Izzy Buy. To understand the impact these duos had on their performance, we must first look at the toss in more detail.

UP Warriors won the toss right? had chosen to win the chase. At that time, Harmanpreet Kaur had said, “Even if I had won the toss, I would have opted for chasing. This pitch is a favorable pitch for chasing.” Alyssa Healy said, “I choose the Chase based on the results of the previous races.” So, both the teams came to Tazouk with the impression of chasing the target. According to them, this DY Patil ground, where the match was held, is a favorable ground for chasing. So far 10 matches have been played in this Women’s Premier League series.

Out of these 10 matches, 8 matches were won by teams chasing the target. Only two matches were won by the teams who batted first. Moreover, especially in the last 7 matches, the teams chasing the target have won.

As the record stood, UP Warriorsoo got an extra comfort at the end of the toss. Beyond that, Mumbai Indians have won this match. If you want to defend and win the target to break the record so far, you have to set a big target first. Mumbai Indians have a strong batting unit and were expected to set a good score. But, as expected, the batting of the Mumbai Indians team did not complete well. Hayley Mathews, Yastika Bhatia, Harmanpreet, none of the important batsmen played big innings. However, Mumbai Indians scored 182 runs at the end of 20 overs. Natsever Brunt was the most important reason for the team to get such a challenging score.

He scored 72 runs off 38 balls. In one down, he came into the crease in the powerplay and remained unbeaten till the end to keep Mumbai’s score up.

A six off the last ball to end the innings would have given Mumbai a huge boost. It is no exaggeration to say that Natchivar has kept the run rate from falling continuously by preventing wickets from falling.

Not only in batting. He gave away a very important wicket in bowling. Brunt bowled 3 overs and conceded only 21 runs, taking the wicket of Grace Harris. Grace Harris is known for acting. Brilliant finisher. Asagaya match winner. Grace Harris took his wicket as soon as he started the action and gave the team a lot of confidence. As an all-rounder, Natsever also showed his full potential against UP.

Next to Natchivar, Issy Wang was the most influential. In the 13th over, Kiran took the hat-trick by taking the wickets of Navikre, Simran and Eccleston in quick succession. This is the first hat-trick in Women’s Premier League history. But before this hat-trick, Issy Wang took another important wicket in the powerplay. It was Alyssa Healy’s wicket. Alyssa Healy would end the game as a single if she stopped. She has played such innings in the Women’s Premier League as well.

Issy Wang kicked Alyssa out before she could even begin her move. Alyssa Healy was out for a mis-timed shot that was a bit full on a good tight line length. Like Alyssa Healy, Wang took the wickets of the dynamic Kiran Navigre and Eccleston in the second half and turned the match completely in favor of Mumbai.

Harmanpreet’s bowling rotation should also be mentioned in Wangai’s praise. Saika Isaak’s second over in the powerplay was a maiden. Shweta Sherawat was out in that over. Being a maiden with a wicket put a lot of pressure on UP. Harman immediately brought in Issy Wang to pass the pressure on to the next overs. Alyssa Healy got a wicket in that over. Wang got just one wicket in this first spell. Wang started his second spell in the 13th over. UP Warriors had added 19 runs in the 12th over bowled by Amelia Kerr before Wang’s 13th over hat-trick. Kiran Navikre was leading the chase. It was at this point that Harman brought back Wang to put more pressure on UP. That hat-trick just happened. Both times when Wang Harman called, there were big turning points in the game.

Due to this, Mumbai Indians won the match by 72 runs and qualified for the final against Delhi. The two top performing teams in the Women’s Premier League have advanced to the finals.

So, the finale is bound to be very interesting. Let’s wait and see who will be the champion in the inaugural season.
