Mumbai Indians skipper Harmanpreet Kaur heaped praises on Issy Wong and Nat Sciver-Brunt for their match-winning performances against UP Warriorz in the Eliminator contest of Women’s Premier League 2023. Mumbai Indians reached the final of the inaugural season of WPL where they will clash against Delhi Capitals at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.
Wong claimed a hat-trick as Mumbai Indians dismantled UP Warriorz batting line-up for 110. The young English pacer produced something special in her third over of the spell where she dismissed Kiran Navgire, Simran Shaikh and Sophie Ecclestone in back-to-back deliveries. While it was Nat Sciver-Brunt, who set the platform for a massive victory. Sciver-Brunt was at her brutal best with the bat, clobbering nine fours and two sixes to make an unbeaten 72 and certainly made the most of an early lifeline when she was on six.
