The HinduThe Women’s Premier League has begun with a bang, with the first two games being decided off the final delivery. However, Smriti Mandhana’s decision to introduce Asha proved pivotal, as the 32-year-old snatched three wickets in an over, shifting the momentum. It makes a huge difference, especially considering the dismissal of Shweta and Grace, our two set batters, was the turning point,” remarked Warriorz mentor Lisa Sthalekar after the match. Two Indian youngsters, Shweta Sehrawat and debutant Vrinda Dinesh, made notable contributions despite the team’s unsuccessful chase. There are many positives that we’ll take from tonight’s game.” Sthalekar had said that UPW’s mantra would be spin to win, and Asha’s performance, even though it came against her team, reinforced the importance of spinners in this situation.
