Alyssa Healy-led UP Warriorz will look to register their second win in the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023 as they face Royal Challengers Bangalore at the iconic Brabourne Stadium, in Mumbai on Friday (March 10).
The UP Warriorz began their campaign at the WPL 2023 with a bang, as Grace Harris’s incredible power-hitting helped them clinch a sensational 3-wicket win against the Gujarat Giants at the DY Patil Stadium.
In their opener, the Warriorz were in a spot of bother with the Giants bowling picking important wickets, however, a solid counter-attack from Kiran Navgire, Harris and Sophie Ecclestone provided the team with right amount of impetus in the home stretch, as they ran out comfortable winners on the night.
Right after, Healy and co were up against the Delhi Capitals at the DY Patil Stadium. And while the result did not turn out in the Warriorz’s favour, Tahlia McGrath flexed her muscles and put on a show to remember, scoring an unbeaten 90 from 50 deliveries, smashing 11 boundaries and 4 sixes, in what was eventually a losing cause.
