UP Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy tackles pitch invader during WPL 2024 match vs Mumbai Indians, pic goes viral – India TV
India TV NewsUP Warriorz finally opened their account in the 2024 edition of the Women's Premier League after beginning the tournament with a couple of losses as they came trumps against the defending champions Mumbai Indians at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday, February 28. Chasing 162 against a Harmanpreet Kaur-less MI, UP Warriorz finished the game off in just 16.3 overs owing to Kiran Navgire's 25-ball fifty and Grace Harris' rapid cameo of 38* off just 17 balls. Captain Alyssa Healy too got a start after a couple of failures as a forced change in the opening combination meant Navgire blew away MI bowlers in the powerplay itself giving her partner and skipper time to ease into her innings. Despite the start, Mumbai Indians got from openers Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Matthews, the middle-order san Harmanpreet couldn't give the final push they needed as UP Warriorz kept getting back in the contest with regular wickets.
