Having nat

Mumbai Indians: Mumbai Indians romped to a comprehensive victory against UP Warriorz to go on top of the points table in the women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Wednesday. MI skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said whatever her team tried executing, it all came off well.

All-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt picked 3-18, her best WPL bowling figures, by using slower balls to great effect, as MI restricted UPW to a below-par 142/9. She then hit an unbeaten 75 off 44 balls, laced with 13 fours, to close the chase for MI with three balls to spare.

She found good support from Hayley Matthews, who chipped in with 59 off 50 balls, as the duo shared a match-winning 133-run partnership for the second wicket. With the ball, Nat found support from Shabnim Ismail and Sanskriti Gupta, who took two wickets each, while Hayley and Amelia Kerr had one scalp in their respective kitty. “Whatever we tried to execute came out well. Really happy with the result. Getting a wicket in the first over is really crucial. And Nat bowled really well. You just need to do the right thing again and again, and Sanskriti's wickets turned it around.”
