Stopping Mumbai Indians’ juggernaut looks like an not possible mission within the Women’s Premier League. Across two seasons, it has solely misplaced two video games.
After shedding a detailed encounter to Royal Challengers Bangalore and a nine-wicket hammering by Delhi Capitals on Monday, will probably be an uphill job for Warriorz to interrupt the Mumbai impasse. But having beforehand crushed MI and being one in every of solely two groups to take action would give some hope to the Alyssa Healy aspect when it faces the defending champion on Wednesday right here on the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Healy is but to search out her footing within the match. Her back-to-back failures would tense the staff administration. Her opening accomplice, Vrinda Dinesh, hasn’t additionally contributed with the bat. Apart from her fielding, the 23-year-old would wish to step up her recreation in different departments.
The largest fear for Warriorz could be their center order consisting of skilled Tahlia McGrath and Grace Harris.
While each McGrath and Harris are confirmed match winners and wish no introduction in any line-up, the staff would desperately want the Australian duo to fireplace.
The staff that performed towards DC was very unilateral as nicely. It didn’t have any left-handed batters within the combine. The solely southpaw is Deepti Sharma, coming in at No. 8. Same goes for his or her bowling. Sophie Ecclestone, Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Gouher Sultana — all three are left-arm off-spinners, whereas Deepti, once more, is the one right-arm tweaker.
As of now, Shweta Sehrawat seems because the lone silver lining within the batting for the UP staff. Her 45 towards Delhi Capitals and 31 towards Royal Challengers Bangalore got here in antagonistic conditions because the just lately turned 20-year-old has proven the precise temperament.
But each Shweta and Kiran Navgire injured themselves through the Capitals match. Navgire dropped the catch because the ball hit her head, and boundary rider Shweta slipped on the ball at deep mid-wicket whereas saving a 4.

For MI, there are positives aplenty. While Shabnim Ismail, Amelia Kerr and Harmanpreet Kaur shone in each video games, Yastika Bhatia’s swashbuckling fifty within the first recreation helped MI with a profitable begin.
Harmanpreet is again with runs after donning the Mumbai pink and blue. It was enterprise as regular for constant Kerr. However, it was Ismail who has impressed probably the most.
However, opener Hayley Matthews is but to unleash her full potential. The World No. 1 T20I all-rounder has solely managed seven runs within the first two matches whereas leaking 54 in her six overs, taking only a solitary wicket.
And Nat Sciver-Brunt, who has 41 runs at a strike charge of 117, would need some runs from her bat.
