🏏WPL 2026, Match-10, UPW W vs MI W. Dr DY Patil Stadium. Navi Mumbai - Page 8

Congratulations to UPW for their overall dominance and winning this match.

Next match is between DC W vs RCBW at 7.30 PM.

That turned out to be a thoroughly entertaining contest. Mumbai Indians Women were on the back foot for most of the chase, but the sixth-wicket stand between Amanjot Kaur and Amelia Kerr brought the game to life. Amanjot lit up the innings with a few stunning strokes, while Kerr chipped in with a valuable contribution from the other end. At 69 for 5, MI were staring at a heavy defeat, but that partnership ensured the damage to their net run rate was limited. Earlier in the day, half-centuries from Meg Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield powered UP Warriorz Women to a formidable 187. They may have hoped for a bigger winning margin, but MI lower-order batters made sure it stayed competitive till the end. Needing 34 off the final six deliveries, MI had a mountain to climb, and they eventually fell short by 22 runs.

Congratulations to UP Warriorz Women for besting MI yet again!

Harmanpreet Kaur | MI captain: We wanted to chase as a group. And I think even though we didn’t bowl well, we were still able to restrict them to less than 200 runs, which was a good thing. But I think in batting, we were not great in the powerplay. Every game, we are not coming up with a positive mindset in the powerplay. That’s something we really need to work on in the batting powerplay. They both (Lanning and Litchfield) were batting really hard. Unfortunately, we missed a few chances in between. At this level, if you keep missing chances, the other team is going to put a lot of pressure on you. That’s exactly what happened today. As a team, we need to discuss this because we’ve been making a lot of mistakes. I know we have a very good side, but if we come together and make fewer mistakes, that can really help us win matches. She (Kamalini) is a very important player for the team and she’s doing really great things behind the stumps. Hopefully, she’ll continue that. At the start of the tournament, Hayley was not well, and because of that we had to make a lot of changes. But now things are quite balanced, and hopefully we’ll find the best playing XI and the best opening pair for us. They both (Amanjot and Kerr) put us in a situation where we had a little hope that we could win the match. It was good to see them batting really well, and hopefully they’ll continue. Unfortunate that we weren’t able to put a win on the board.

Fantastic bowling performance from Warriorz. Getting early wickets, as often is the case in T20, gave them a big advantage.

Meg Lanning, POTM and Warriorz captain :

Was a nice bounce back after losing the first three. group's stayed up, great to get two wins vs MI, gives momentum heading into Baroda. We did a lot of planning, how we want to execute. They have good batters. Last two games, we've nailed it. Nice batting with Pheebs, we hit different areas. She took pressure off me, hope to have a couple more going forward. We can finish our batting inns better, MI took pace off. We've tightened up a few areas.

Congratulations to UPWW for winning the match.

Congratulations to Meg Lanning for winning the Player of the Match award.

Cheers..
