In a weird but not too unfamiliar incident throughout the Women’s Premier League (WPL), Harmanpreet Kaur was reprieved when a slower supply down leg-side from pacer Anjali Sarvani grazed the stump, lighting up the bail, which moved from its groove however didn’t fall.

UP Warriorz skipper Alyssa Healy started celebrating behind the stumps earlier than realising her counterpart had survived by the best of margins.

The incident occured within the eleventh over of Mumbai Indians’ innings, when Harmanpreet was batting on 7 and had Nat Sciver-Brunt for firm on the different finish.

Mumbai is chasing a 160-run goal on the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai because it eyes its fifth consecutive win within the match.

Purple Cap holder Saika Ishaque continued so as to add to her wickets tally with three for 33 from her 4 overs.
