Deepti Sharma to Nicola Carey
OUT! Oh my word, what a take that is from Harleen Deol. Deepti Sharma pitches it fuller again, just outside off, angling it away. Nicola Carey heaves it across the line, but fails to make a proper connection. The ball loops over the mid on region, but Deol sprints back, takes a small leap and scoops the ball firmly into her hands. That is not at all an easy one, as usually when the fielders land on their elbow, they spill it out, but Deol makes sure she grabs the ball tight, and doesn't bobble it away. Mumbai Indians lose their fourth wicket.

Shikha Pandey to Hayley Matthews
FOUR! Oh..that is the best of the lot! Shikha Pandey goes full and around off. Hayley Matthews leans on and drives it crisply to find the gap to perfection. She beats extra cover to her right and mid off to her left as the ball goes to the fence for another boundary.

Strategic Break! Fair to say UP Warriorz have won the Powerplay here, sending both the MI openers back to the hut. They have kept the runs in check as well, but now they have to keep the pressure in the middle overs as well. Mumbai Indians have lost two wickets, but the key for them is that the two most experienced players for them are out in the middle. This pair will hold the key in the chase. Also, Shikha Pandey to bowl after the break.

Nicola Carey is the next batter in.

Mumbai Indians are in all sorts of trouble here. Amelia Kerr walks out to bat now.

Mumbai Indians need 91 runs off 36 balls now!

Strategic Timeout! The last couple of overs have brought Mumbai Indians back in this chase. Both Amelia Kerr and Amanjot Kaur are now able to find the boundaries regularly, but the problem for them is that they need to continue doing that till the end, as they need more than 15 runs an over. UP Warriorz just need to keep things simple here as they are still ahead in this game. Also, Shikha Pandey to bowl after the break.

G Kamalini comes out to the middle now.

Last over coming up now. It will be bowled by Deepti Sharma. She has 33 runs to defend.

That wraps up an entertaining game, with UP Warriorz picking up back-to-back wins and finally moving off the bottom spot, while Mumbai Indians will have a few questions to answer ahead of their next outing. The WPL action, however, does not stop here, with another big clash coming up shortly as Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on Delhi Capitals. You can simply switch tabs to catch all the coverage of that game. Cheers!
