New Zealand and Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder Amelia Kerr's terrific spell of (5/38) restricted UP Warriorz (UPW) to just 150 for 9 in the ongoing Women's Premier League (WPL). Kerr bowled beautifully in the middle phase of the innings and managed to strangulate UPW's middle and lower-order batters. After a terrific start by UPW's openers Georgia Voll (55), and Grace Harris (28), who put on 74 runs for the first wicket, things went downhill for the home side.
UPW kept losing wickets in clusters as they could not finish on a bang on a relatively good batting surface at Ekana Stadium. Apart from Kerr, off-spinner Hayley Matthews chipped in with two wickets. However, it was Kerr's spell that turned the tide in MI's favor. UPW's middle order yet again failed to make an impact as Kiran Navgire (0), Deepti Sharma (27), and Vrinda Dinesh (10) departed cheaply.
