UP Warriorz won for the first time this season with a seven-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League.
Harleen Deol hit an unbeaten 64 from 39 balls to marshal Warriorz’ chase of 162, putting on a partnership of 73 with Phoebe Litchfield (25) for the third wicket.
England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt top-scored for Mumbai after they were put into bat, adding 85 alongside Nicola Carey (32 not out).
Sciver-Brunt was one of two wickets to fall in the final over, as Giants closed on 161-5.
The all-rounder then dismissed Warriorz captain Meg Lanning (25) and her fellow opener Kiran Navgire (10) in the space of five balls immediately after the powerplay.
Having helped rebuild the innings, Litchfield was caught off the bowling of Melie Kerr, but Chloe Tryon (27 not out) joined Deol at the crease, hitting a six and then seeing the win brought up with a wide, as Warriorz won with five balls to spare.
Lanning’s side remain bottom despite picking up their first win in fourth attempts, but go level on points with Delhi Capitals in fourth.
Mumbai miss out on the chance to go top outright and remain in second, level on points with first-placed Royal Challengers Bengaluru and third-placed Gujarat Giants. (BBC)
