WPL Eliminator: The Nat Sciver-Brunt & Issy Wong show sends Mumbai Indians through to the final

Mumbai Indians are through to the final of the Women’s Premier League after defeating the UP Warriorz by 72 runs.

English all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt proved to be the match-winner for Harmanpreet Kaur’s side to set up a summit clash with the Delhi Capitals.

While others around her made small but vital contributions, it was Sciver-Brunt’s unbeaten 72 off 38 balls that blew the Warriorz away at the DY Patil stadium. Her sensational knock powered Mumbai to a mighty 182/4.

And in reply, the Warriorz could never get going, losing 4 wickets including the big-hitting Healy, McGrath & Harris inside the first 8 overs.

While Kiran Navgire did play a valiant hand with a 43, it was Issy Wong’s fantastic hat-trick that completely derailed the run-chase, with the Warriorz getting bundled for 110 in the end.
