    WPL 2026: 'Momentum Building At The Right Time,' Says Lanning After Warriorz’ Second Straight Win

    By IANS News January 17, 2026 • 20:48 PM View: 128
    Australian Phoebe Litchfield: UP Warriorz captain Meg Lanning hailed her side’s planning, execution and growing confidence after they registered their second consecutive victory in the Women’s Premier League, handing Mumbai Indians their second straight defeat. Lanning, who was named Player of the Match, said the win was a significant morale booster after a difficult start to the season.

    Reflecting on the turnaround, Lanning said the Warriorz had remained positive despite losing their first three matches of the campaign. "It was a nice bounce-back for us. Losing the first three wasn’t ideal, but the group stayed upbeat. We were confident in our ability and knew we just needed to bring it for a little bit longer," she said after the match.

    Warriorz set the tone with a strong batting performance, led by Lanning herself, who struck a fluent 70 off 45 balls, an innings that also saw her become the first player to register 11 half-centuries in WPL history. After the early loss of opener Kiran Navgire for a duck, Lanning found a reliable partner in fellow Australian Phoebe Litchfield, with the duo stitching together a crucial 119-run stand.
