The UP Warriorz’s head coach, Jon Lewis, stated that his team would have been in good shape if they had scored 175-180 runs, despite scoring 159 runs. The UP Warriorz’ 160-run target for the Mumbai Indians in order to win the Women’s Premier League (WPL) match, as stated by Coach Jon Lewis, was extremely competitive.
However, “a few moments” changed the outcome, and his team lost eight wickets.With Harmanpreet Kaur’s (53 n.o.) On Sunday, the Mumbai Indians broadened their untouched series of wins by dominating their fourth match in succession at Brabourne.
Other than Nat Sciver-Brunt (no. 45), disparaging the target by beating it with the Warriorz attack. The partnership helped MI win by 106 runs in 17.3 overs. Coach Lewis stated that his team would have been in a better position if they had scored 175-180 runs, despite the fact that 159 was not bad.
After the game, Lewis told the media, “The goal we set was satisfactory.” “Typically, you need to score more runs in a Twenty20 match.” “We might have looked at around 175-180 with 7-8 overs remaining, which would have been a risky total batting first. However, things did not go as planned for us; Mumbai briefly prevailed in one of those games; “That is the Twenty20 game, and it changes quickly,” he went on to say.
The Warriorz reached a total that appeared to be competitive earlier on a slow wicket when Alyssa Healy (58) and Tahlia McGrath (50) shared an 82-run partnership for the third wicket. However, thanks to Yastika Bhatia’s strong start (42 off 27 balls) and Harmanpreet Nat Sciver-Brunt’s century stand, MI prevailed with 15 balls remaining.
Lewis stated that his team is still looking for the best combination despite having two wins and two losses.
“We have changed the batting order multiple times to get the best performance from our Indian players,” he stated. The former England player went on to say that pitches have played a big role in recent WPL games because teams haven’t been able to score much when they bat first, which has led to many wins for the teams that are trying to catch up.
“The limits have largely remained the same throughout, with perhaps a slight decrease at the CCI. We observed that the batsmen were able to bat freely after struggling to get going. The pitches, in my opinion, are more to blame. We didn’t take numerous wickets and dropped an early catch; ” He stated, “Those are the two opportunities we missed.”
Lewis was sorry that Anjali Sarvani almost bowled Harmanpreet, but the bails stayed in place.He compared Harmanpreet and Nat (Sciver-Brunt) to the rest of Mumbai’s batting, saying, “Like I said, it could have been very different if we had gotten the wicket before the ball hit the stump and the bail fell off.” The Mumbai wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia stated that the team was confident in Saika Ishaque, who took three wickets.
“The team has a lot of faith in Saika because she is one bowler who can return at any time during the game.” Despite the fact that she was unharmed, the game is heavily dependent on her ability to score runs and take wickets. We have a lot of faith in her. We were telling her which lines to bowl.
“She has grown a lot and made a strong comeback in this tournament,” Yastika said.In domestic cricket, she has also been consistently taking wickets. It was only a matter of time because she would soon perform here as well.”
Yastika stated that Hayley Matthews’ average performance would benefit the Mumbai Indians. She makes our team more valuable. We frequently talk about making it easier for attendees of the gathering to obtain exceptional opening stands. We talked about rotating the strike and using the straight bat as much as possible. You can rest assured that she will return.
The India player, who was 22 years old, admitted that the Brabourne pitch was getting slower. She continued, “I think 180-190 can be a pleasant aggregate.” “The pitch here is evidently getting even more languid,” she said.
