The Hindu“’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.” One wouldn’t blame UP Warriorz for muttering this under its breath during the entirety of the chase, hoping for a miracle as the top-order wobbled again, this time chasing 161 to win against Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday. UP-W vs MI-W Highlights WPL 2024: Saika Ishaque takes three, Mumbai beats UP by 42 runs Harmanpreet cautiously kept her company but soon lost her off stump to a ripper from Saima Thakor, becoming her first WPL scalp. Deepti Sharma made short work of Amanjot Kaur, but a quickfire 43-run stand between S. Sajana and Amelia Kerr helped MI get to 160. Deepti, who scored her maiden WPL fifty, may have managed a six off the last ball, against last-ball-six hero Sajana no less, but Warriorz’ fate was sealed long before the final ball was bowled.
